Oops... Dodge Challenger runs out of gas @ Woodward Dream Cruise

[blainestang]

So, we fly up to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit this year, and one of our main goals is to see the new Dodge Challenger because my wife is planning to get one, and of course, I'm all for it. So we're driving down the road in our rented Mustang convertible and we see the Challenger concept going the other way. A few minutes later, we see it parked on the side of the road. At first, we think maybe the Ram behind it has rearended it, but fortunately for our pictures (and their jobs), that's not the case. As it turns out, the Challenger Concept doesn't have a gas gauge (the gauges are stickers), so they didn't realize they were running out of gas. Good news for us, though, because we basically get a private showing of the new Dodge Challenger :thumbup:














The whole Album, which is a front page feature @ Motortopia.com... click the thumbnail below... ~360 pics of the Challenger and many other classic/muscle/modern cars, as well as Mustang Alley.




A few of the other nice cars we saw...

One of the guys that went with us wanted to meet Jim Wangers, the marketing guy behind the original GTO. Well, we come across the famous "GTO Tiger" parked on the side of Woodward as well @ about 7AM. Turns out it had it's passenger front caliper snap in HALF! Well, guess who was in the car? Jim Wangers!

Anyway, point being... We got to see cars/meet people because a Mopar and a GM ended up out of commission :-D

Now, for the pic:

Nice cars for sure. Wouldn't mind having an AAR Cuda myself. Not gonna happen though... too much $$$

Yeah, pretty crazy. We stood around for about an hour taking pics and talking to the marketing guys that were driving it around.

Then, the GTO thing was pretty cool, also. Probably more unlikely even than the Challenger experience.
