Dodge Challenger Personality Types – What does your trim level say about you?
#Challenger #Hemi #Hellcat
What does your Challenger say about you? Think of this as a sort of personality test for Dodge Challenger owners. Its tongue in cheek and meant as a fun Fourth of July video. I even manage to get some of that Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right beer! Its beer! And its Right! (notsponsored)
We go through most of the trims, from the Dodge Challenger SXT and GT trims (including the Blacktop), AWD, RWD, up through the 392 Scat Packs, Narrow Body and Wide Body, Shakers, Manual Transmissions, and what each says about you!
Cant leave out the supercharged Challengers, with Hellcats, the 717HP variants, up to the Redeyes, 797HP and of course, the halo cars, the Dodge Challenger Redeye Jailbreak, the Super Stock and the 1320!
I hope this was as fun for you as it was for me making this video, and Im really looking forward to replying to your comments!
No matter what generation you are,
Oil is thicker than blood!

Why Urbanism is evil; I react to a video that wants to take our cars, tax us and cage us
I react to a video on Urbanism. So, this is a raw reaction and solo debate based on what I hear for the first time.
Already, the comments and intro give it away as making points that support their argument. The video maker wants to focus on emotional points, not rational ones. Safety gets put over freedom, to the point freedom is never mentioned once.
All of his arguments are a political video at best, or “take somebody elses money and give it to me” at worst. He lives in a city and focuses only on the city. Why is it that people in the city cannot see beyond the city limits? They lack the understanding of how supply chains, agriculture, industry work. Its as if things magically teleport into their stores and they don’t ever need to move.
That’s the same thing as life as a gerbil, with all it needs to live magically provided by somebody else. They don’t care, or worse, do and just want other people’s money to fund their way of life, knowing full well they cannot fund it on their own.
The examples they give, of transit are straight from transit agencies press releases, where all the dangers, problems, delays are ignored. I worked in transit, and I can tell you, driving a car will always be cheaper and faster. The only way to make it cheaper is by levying taxes on cars, fuel, etc.
And if all else fails, the video creator mentions force. Force auto manufacturers to comply with their will, for their visions.
This is why you cant argue with an urbanist, because there is no argument, no debate. Its gimme gimme gimme, now now now. And if you don’t, force!
I decided to publish this video, to showcase our opponents. This is how they view us. They see us as an infestation. We heard this language many times in history and knows how it goes.
But in the end, we must win because
Oil is thicker than blood!

Car Culture in Communist Romania – Tractors, Trabants and a VW Prototype
What was car ownership like in Communist Romania under Ceausescu? To understand this, we need to look at how private ownership was always secondary to state ownership. And the stars were always trucks and tractors. The UTB Tractors were a fluke, as they were some of the best tractors of their time, and even tot his day will command high prices.
Yes, UTB tractors were imported into the US under the Long Tractors brand name, where even the non functioning examples command thousands of dollars, with operational units going well into the five digit pricing! This was done only due to passionate gear heads that had to misfortune of living under communism.
Trucks were almost in their entirety license built, with designs coming from the USSR, which in turn had received them from the US post-WWII. Such as the Bucegi truck here, built from a ZIL license, which was built from a 1957 Ford Pickup, upsized into commercial truck territory.
One of the smaller trucks, the Aro, retains a lot of character, from the old ZIL based truck, to the original 200 series, being a simple, rugged truck, meant to remain in service with minimal tooling. It was the Jeep Cherokee of Iron Block Romania.
Let’s look at what “imports” the communist Romanian buyer had available. One such import was the Trabant. I will give the Zwickau team credit. Germans will do german things as we can see from the way they set up the automation on their assembly line. Remember, the Trabant was made from “duroplast” a material not unlike cardboard.
Finally, let’s look at a 1974 VW Passat prototype. VW’s were not available to the public. Only the police or party members would have access to such cars, and usually Beetles. The Passat here is a strange case, since Western car makers rarely tried entering Soviet markets, but with Renaul licensing cars to Dacia, VW was no doubt trying something similar.
The report shows the focus on the Romanian market, on items we have had for a long time, like adjusting mirrors, and seat belts. While we look at this VW as being rather ugly, it would be sad as a average Romanian, looking at something like this, with longing, knowing they could never attain it, and never afford it.
Here’s to all our gear head brothers that made it out of one block, to enter another…

Are Markups Coming Back in Q3 for Dodge? Banking Storm at Fault
Happy Father’s Day to all the Rippers and Mopar Gearheads out there!
Let’s talk Dodge Markups. Many channels have reported that deals are happening, prices are coming down, and inventory is piling up. This could be merely due to a higher supply than demand, or something else.
The SVB banking problem may be the root of the problem, as lending institutions were weary on issuing car loans across the board, for all types of car loans. This resulted in people being unable to get the loan, and thus, unable to buy the cars. This resulted in the stock piles of Challengers and Chargers, Scat Packs, Hellcats, Redeyes and Jailbreaks piling up on the lot.
Banks needed to keep liquidity on hand to prevent a bank run, but now, that fear is subsiding compared to the fear of not having enough loans on the books. Banks need to issue loans, to make money from the interest!
I do go over reasons why some sales with no markup occur, since dealers may be able to subside for a while without a car sale, but the sales personnel, salesman and saleswoman just can’t. If they don’t earn a commission they will quit and move to other careers. That’s why you can see a car sold with markup, followed up no markup on the same day at the same dealership.
This is a much more tricky problem, but strictly talking about the cars, this is a good opportunity to try to buy a cool Mopar, with a Hemi V8. As scarcity of these cars sets in, and the press from the final car being built, demand can only increase.
Good luck out there, and remember
Oil is thicker than blood!

Charlotte Police Can Now Take Your Car from Car Meet – Detroit Takes 2 Lambos from 1 Owner
More stories about Police impounding, seizing and just taking cars from law abiding individuals, for now other reason that as a cash grab.
We start off with the story of a man with a 1965 Chevy (cudos to him for daily driving that car), who had his registered, functional car towed away by LAPD, by an officer that falsified the reports, lying that his car was missing its engine, transmission, interior, etc, when there was nothing wrong with it.
I do recommend Steve Lehto’s channel, as there are so many cases, recently a Missouri city that has an insane law, seizing and towing people’s cars from their own property. Where does this end?
Second case, is how Detroit took not one, but two Lamborghini’s from the same owner. No racing, no illegal activity, but it didn’t matter. They took them, with no charged brought, because the chief of Detroit PD wanted to “permanently seize” the cars to use them for whatever he wanted.
As such, the cars were damaged with thousands of dollars worth of dings, dents and scratches, many miles put on the cars and so on. Most of the time, towing due to seizure or impounding doesn’t focus on not damaging the car. J-hooks, straps, chains will cause so much damage to some cars, and these are damages an owner will never recuperate from the police department.
The final piece, is on Charlotte, NC with their new law against Street Takeovers. There are laws on the books already but now they will punish the innocent, and take their cars. This in effect makes any legitimate care meet, cars and coffee, etc, susceptible to impound. Even spectators (which are ill defined, if this means somebody recording or just glancing by as they walk home) liable to criminal charges.
This is insane, and unjust. Call your local senators, mayors, and let them know that this will not stand. Its hard, but these types of injustices cannot stand, and unless we voice our concerns, nothing will change.
Thanks for being here, during this change to the new format. We can make a difference becase…

Canadian Wildfires Dump Ash on Our Cars – (News Reports Are Wrong!) – Protect your Paint Job
Canadian Wildwires wreak havoc for air quality but also our cars that get parked outdoors. Common sense would say to just wash your cars, and douse them with enough water to make sure all the ash gets washed away!
Don’t rub your car paint with dry clothes, dusters or anything like that without lubrication.
Of course, news channels don’t know much about cars, so I poke a bit of fun at their segment, while also giving some insight into Doppler radar and how its not as bad as it might seem.
Yes, we did get the orange sky, red sun, eerie Mars looking scenery.
Let me know how you like the formatting. The next few episodes will each have a different feature Im testing, so bear with me!
Always, remember

Criminal Speeding, Police Taking Innocent Man’s Car and more…
Criminal Speeding and Civil Asset Forfeiture are some of the biggest issues in our country. What is going on, particularly Red States and Counties that practice these authoritarian measures?
Who are you protecting? Here are just three cases of police over-reach and glee.
He was an unwilling passenger in a high-speed chase. Police still seized his car – KSTP-TV Minneapolis, MN:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=burG_gnXRcA&ab_channel=PinalCountySheriff%27sOffice
This isnt how things are done. And while these are just three cases, there are SO MANY more abusive seizures of cars and money. This will be a long term series on Policing, from our point of view as Hemiheads and Gearheads! So the war against cars comes from all sides, but we can change things together!

Free Car…with a Catch
#NWO #Free #2030
Telly offers free 4K HDTV’s. That’s right, free television set, with just one catch. You have to have a billboard in your living room or bedroom, that will monitor and record you. If that wasn’t creepy enough, 500.000 people have already registered and signed up for this TV.
Do you think cars will adopt this model? Free car with screens plastered everywhere, showing ads constantly? Let’s see with a skit of what a Youtube car channel will look like in 2033!
I do think cars in the near future will begin having ads on their center infotainment screens, and headrest screens. More and more ads placed everywhere in a car, to offset sinking economies and rising costs, inflation etc.
This is a bad sign for car brands, that are already alienating their consumer base, from Maserati ending production of all V8 cars to Dodge ending Hemi’s including the Ram TRX with the 6.2L Supercharged engine in 2024. 2023 is the end for the L body cars, the Charger and Challenger, with Scat Pack 6.4L Apache V8s and the 6.2L Hellcat V8’s.
The market doesn’t seem to be poised to handle such changes, but we will see!
Bonus: The 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis is clean, and done! I even give some tips on cheap bumper repairs (non pro tips) and how to hide the unsightly behind the grill look for Panther cars (pro-tip). This applies specifically to Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Towncars, but can be used for many other cars!

Hellcat Jailbreak Warranty Scandal: Dodge and Toxic Online Comments Backlash
Dodge Voids Warranty for a brand new 2023 Last Call Challenger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak, for repairs over $36,000.
Customer states the car’s engine blows up, with a dead miss on cylinder No 7 (P0307) and grinding noise in drive train. The owner is an older gentleman, that was happy to get his dream car, only to find it turn to a nightmare, when the Dodge dealerships forwards the claim up to corporate, where they deny the claim!
There are plenty of red flags. From the car having a blown engine AND a blown transmission, indicating abuse, to Dodge changing the story from denial of warranty over a mid-muffler delete, stating that will require a tune (something that is known in the car world to not be true) to stating the car’s ECU was tampered with and tuned.
The bottom line is, this is becoming a high profile case, with more channels covering it, including @racerX9
Note that the Carscoops article website still contains the old article title, and while I don’t trust modern online news sites, one can assume at least basic investigation was done (ha!).
Still, the biggest thing to me were the comments. The comments are from people that don’t have even the most basic car knowledge, much less being part of Car Culture. The attitude is downright hostile if not hateful towards the owners of the Dodge. Maybe jealousy plays a part, but us car nuts, gearheads don’t have this problem. You can have a guy with a 500 dollar beater talking to a guy with a million dollar Lamborghini. A guy with a Mercury Grand Marquis being buds with a guy that owns an original Ford GT40.
Bonus tips on installing the weird Ford/Mercury wheel covers. They simulate allows fairly well, with enough complexity to not look cheap. They screw onto the lug nuts, and hide the hardware with center caps. Cool!
Back to the comments. It disappointed me. I realize most of those people treat cars like an appliance, and don’t understand our need to scrounge for the NOS original part for a restoration, cleaning and babying a car to preserve it, or re-inventing the wheel, re-engineering a car by modifying it, to get that one extra horsepower.
They don’t get it.
And ultimately, Carscoops doesn’t get it, and definitely not their reader base.
Their blood runs thin, unlike ours!

Bud Light Controversy and Manly Cars – Companies Panic over Woke Brand Images
#BudBoycott #BudLight #Bud
By now, everyone know the Bud Lite controversy with Dylan Mulvaney as their brand ambassador. How does this relate to Cars, and Dodge specifically?
Brands like Bud Light have gained a reputation for being “Gay”, and as such most consumers avoid it, and in many cases for fear of being labeled as offensive. This was accentuated by the latest boycott, which adopted more of a targeted approach rather than a broad boycott.
Looking into poling data and studies, electric vehicles (EV) as well as hybrids also have an associated with LGBT communities, at least in the eyes of potential car buyers. This, along with a cooling economy and fears of recession, is impacting EV car sales drastically.
Data itself in many cases is wrong, as pollsters cannot simply provide data that signals a “mission accomplished” message to the brand, and as such, will be biased towards results that lead to job security. This is why data samples are from smaller populations segments, geographic demographics, etc.
People have also begun using shaming tactics in their friend circles, and this is in fact a succesful strategy used by many groups. Men seem to be using this with other men, regarding EV purchases, hybrid purchases etc.
What can brands do to keep their sales? This is a serious question they ask, especially when certain images are contradictory or exclude one another.
This is where, we, as gear heads have sway. By now purchasing the products offered, and merely keeping what we have, we have enough consumer power to sway companies, from Dodge, to Ford to Bud Lite.
Stay the course, brothers.
