UAW Goes on Strike – Unifor Canada to Follow? Unions Workers and Manufacturers are Delusional - RANT
#UAW #STRIKE #Dodge #Brampton #Unifor
UAW goes on strike! GM, Ford and Stellantis factories are shut down in the US, as well as Canada. Unifor (formerly CAW) is the Canadian union for auto workers at plants such as Brampton or Windsor will vote on their strike this coming Monday (Sept 18, 2023).
The media is covering the strike however few if any large outlets are talking about what the UAW or Unifor’s list of demands are. So, I find their demands, and go over them.
They are as outlandish as ever, from large pay increases, instant promotions, 30 hour work weeks, guaranteed jobs, pension increases, increased medical coverage, and more.
Yes…I go on a rant on unions in general, not just UAW or Unifor. Both sides are delusional and out of touch. This will only hurt the workers and population at large, that depend on their vehicles.
To be fair, theres a lot going on, and I would not be surprised if Brampton shuts down, the factory that built our Dodge Challengers and Charger, as Stellantis and the others are gearing towards the production of more EVs, despite how the market does not want to adopt them.
CEOs are equally delusional though, as I talk about the attitude and entitlement found on both sides of labor disputes.
Even 45th Pres Donald Trump commented on EVs and UAW workers (which I do in the most awful voice! I tried)
Im sure this will stir up debate, which is never a bad thing.
Oil is thicker than blood!

IMPOSSIBLE lifted Jeep Cherokee XJ for UNDER $3000? 4x4 Offroad Cherokee with Rough Country lift kit
So you wanna get into off-roading. You want a serious 4x4, a rock climber or mud truck. You want a short wheelbase 2 door, but you DON’T want a Wrangler. What kind of truck can you find under 3k? What does $3000 buy you? Is it even POSSIBLE?
I buy a Jeep Cherokee XJ Sport, a two door, lifted truck on 35” tires, 6 inch lift with all the goodies. Yes, it’s got a 10,000 lbs winch, yes it has a lightbar, yes its rhino-lined. This was meant to be a winter beater, but turns out, that I fell in love with this Jeep, and it’s just plain too good and too nice to be a beater.
Best of all, you won’t believe how cheap it was.

Dodge Demon 170 Reveal Heartbreak and Insult – THE BOUNCE!
Dodge SRT Demon 170 gets revealed at the Roadkill Nights event in Las Vegas, NV. Fire, wheelies, and Mopar nuts all gather to see the final 7th Edition Last Call Challenger. BUT...
The speech given by Tim Kiniskis, CEO of Dodge is a bitter one, directed more towards dealers than buyers. Allocations are few, numbers are down, and people are upset that they can’t even get a Scat Pack without ludicrous markups. Its made worse by a flood of content, all seemingly taunting you that none of us plebs can buy this car.
Let’s go back to the Helicopter, showing the leprechaun jumping out of a Black Hawk helicopter, and my comical reaction to the sounds, and also my reaction to the goofy chopper they used.
Sure, it was still cool, and would have been great, if Kiniskis would have just stopped talking about the Dodge Banshee. Nobody came there to hear about an EV, or polar bears or PC stuff. Also, saying SRT is dead, is not a phrase we want a CEO of Dodge to ever utter.
The Demon 170 is still an amazing feat of engineering, and a great car (if only we can buy it). It does a wheelie, and has amazing specs. But I will be talking about the front fender flare delete, and the infamous bounce.
The car seems rushed, and might not even have the final suspension ready (at least that is my hope). The car raises the front wheels on launch, then makes contact with the strip again, only to bounce back up for a second time. There are other things I go over in the video, bringing questions about the SRT Demon 170 and its performance.
Ethanol and E85 raises some concerns as well as the durability of the new engine. It is not a full Hellaphant, only sharing some parts with the crate motor. Will this car be as tough as the original Demon?
I had said before, that if this car is not a Stage III Redeye or Super Stock or Jailbreak, there is little to no incentive to go for Direct Connection stage kits. But for those that want 1000HP plus cars, there are options that offer warranty, have the prestige for collectors, and can be ordered without the insane hoops, markups, bidding and stress that Dodge is putting us through.
Regardless though, we will love our cars, and cherish them, because we are The Brotherhood of Muscle! Thank you to all those that send me emails, messages, called, to show concern. It meant a lot. We are building something unique and powerful, much like the cars we love to drive!

Is This The Worst Dodge Challenger EVER? | #SaveTheManuals
#SaveTheManuals
Is this the WORST Challenger to get? Its missing the Wide Body, it has narrow pizza slicer wheels, it doesn’t have the red interior, no Shaker package. So why did I get this car off the lot?
Why? Because this is the BEST manual transmission car I ever drove, the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Scat Pack 392 Hemi. With MTX (stick shift) transmissions being in short supply from Tremec, ordering one of these for 2023 is a big risk. Finding them on the lot is even harder, so when I came across this beauty is Pitch Black, with red calipers, I knew I had to get it.
The low price helped as well (cheaper than a 5.7L Hemi R/T on the lot, granted that has a shaker hood), a very good warranty, 10yrs 100,000 miles full bumper to bumper (ideal for a driving car) all pale compared to the joy of the manual transmission.
Bill from @CuriousCars (or is it @Curious_Cars) first got me DESPERATE to get in on the New Era of Muscle from Dodge, with this funny review of a white Wide Body Challenger (which is what pushed me to go Super Stock). After that, it was a rabbit hole of packaged and options, sights, sounds, and the Apache naturally aspirated 6.4L Hemi (392 cubic inch) delivers a punch.
The Challenger is both smooth and tame in normal driving, but is a beast when driving aggressively, slamming the throttle down throws the tail out, but in such a big heavy car, it never feels beyond your control. The mechanical heavy shifter reminds you this is a machine, one you don’t have to be dainty around. It can handle it. Can you?
As Im writing this, I cant help but chuckle, and I may just go for a nice night drive, and find some background to let the Challenger roar. You really should consider the manual transmission Challenger. It feels better than the Camaro, although honestly, they are all great.
So go test drive, and get yourself a manual car, and #SaveTheManuals

Dodge Scat Pack 392 Hemi or SRT Hellcat Redeye? Which SHOULD you get in 2022-2023?
Which Hemi should you get? A Charger or Challenger? Supercharger or naturally aspirated? Scat Pack or Hellcat? I go into pros, cons, prices, insurances, and other aspects.
Yes, even which one sounds better!
Both cars are 2022 models (which will be the same for the future 2023s). We have one year left where this choice is relevant.

How I bought the last brand new 2022 SRT Challenger Super Stock *NO MARK-UP*
I did it again! I tell the story, with video, of the dealership experience buying a brand new 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Wide Body Super Stock, or just Super Stock for short. It is one of the last ones remaining on dealership lots, and the last one in my area. Made in low numbers in 2020, 2021 and its final year 2022, the Super Stock is a Dodge Demon tribute car. It has the same power-plant, with nominal 807HP (its really the same as the Demon 808HP, but it respects the Demon being at the top).
That’s not to say this car is slow or any less fun. It is an amazing machine, with one mission, one quarter mile at a time. It can keep doing them over and over…But that if for another video.
This episode shows the struggle of an average guy, trying to buy a Super Stock. Few of these Mopar beasts remain on dealership lots, most having tremendous mark-ups. Most cars are used, advertised as new. Other cars show up in inventory but are already sold cars. Banks will not finance the mark-up portion of the price, and I, like most of you don’t have that kind of cash laying around.
We all know prices will go up after Dodge discontinues V8 production, so its now or never, and I got so lucky, in finding this car without mark-up, finding this car with all the options I wanted, finding this car near enough, and having the support from my mother, a true Shop Mom!
I am grateful for her help and support, and in helping me get back on my feet after my accident.
I want to wish all of you luck in finding one of these dream muscle cars. From the R/T to Scat Pack, to Hellcats, to anything with our beloved Hemi, new or used, they complete our lives in a way non car people just don’t get. Mopar or no car!

2023 Dodge ORDER GLITCH! Last Call Charger Challenger Allocations (plus mystery car?)
Order banks are open for the 2023 Dodge Charger and Challengers, from SXT, GT, R/T to the Hellcats, Super Stocks and Jailbreaks. But, orders are mostly sold out. Big dealers got all of the allocations. Special editions are also given to the top 500 dealerships.
Bad news, DealerConnect, the site where orders are placed has errors in it. Options invalidate other options, like the Demonic Red interior option if ends up showing NO OTHER OPTIONS. Cloth seats, nothing else. This will lead to a lot of orders not meeting the deadline.
Last Call allocations are out. The top 500 dealerships will all be getting the Challenger Shakedown (392 Hemi Scat Pack), in Wide Body trim (which will be a manual transmission) and Narrow Body (Automatic). They will get one of each. The same 500 dealerships will also get one of each Charger Scat Pack Super Bee editions, one Wide Body, one Narrow Body, both with 1320 transmissions, suspension and drag radials. One is Plum Crazy, one B5 Blue.
The same 500 dealerships will all get at least one of each Swinger package, in Challenger and Charger body styles. The top 200 dealers will get six Swingers, 3 as Chargers, 3 as Challengers, in F8 Green with Sub-Lime stripe, Sub-Lime with black stripe (manual cars) and Smoke Show with Sub-Lime stripe.
Dealerships from 201-300 will not get the manual cars, so only the Smoke Show and F8 Green cars, one each Charger and Challenger, totalling 4 cars.
Dealerships from 301-500 will get just one each Charger or Challenger in F8 green.
Markups will be an issue, as will dealerships that stash away these cars.
The Hellcat cars will be issues to the top 300 dealerships, each getting a Black Ghost Challenger Hellcat Redeye (Jailbreak, with 807HP) and a King Daytona Charger Hellcat Redeye (Jailbreak with 807HP)
Prices are up by 3k on average for trim levels, but good news is that options are down. Of course, it is possible that the system is still glitching and final pricing shown is not correct. Fix this Dodge! Overall this might mean prices for MSRP will be lower, but of course ADM (markup) is already insanely high.
Still, orders are mostly placed by the time this video publishes.
The interesting news is that on Dodge’s Dealer Connect site, in the drop downs for allocations for 2023 models, the Dodge Viper is displayed! This might simply be an error but it would also hint at the return of the Viper, in it’s base trim, GTS trim and ACR trim. This might be a last minute decision to compensate for the lack of a seventh SEMA car that never materialized, or simply Dodge trying to maintain some performance credibility with the introduction of a next generation Viper.
Unless its electric, in which case, they’re done. That would sully the name and reputation of what a Dodge Viper is. I explain why I suspect that a Viper is coming.
Let me know what your plans are, and if any of this changes your plans. Scat Pack 392 Hemi or Hellcat or Redeye or Jailbreak…or are you going to wait for a Viper? Let me know below.
0:00 Mopar News Intro
0:24 Order banks and allocations are open
1:16 Super Stock Glitch-Demonic Red order error
2:55 Allocations for Last Call Shakedown, Super Bee, Swinger editions
5:26 Allocations for Last Call Black Ghost and King Daytona options
5:50 Base prices and Option pricing-Ordering error?
7:16 2023 Dodge SRT Viper GTS and ACR in DealerConnect?

Hagerty Goes Full Woke – The Black Ghost Hoax!
#Hagerty #BlackghostHoax #Woke
Two different stories blend into one. The 1970 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost scam, as being a legendary drag racer, as well as Hagerty going full environmental carbon credits, DEI and woke.
This all began with me digging deeper as Hagerty non-renewed me and failed to pay for some minor claims as a regular insurance company. I suspect its due to the older video I made about them, and the magazine, pushing political propaganda, and nothing about collector cars.
Looking through their website and searches, you notice how hard Hagerty is propping up the story of the Black Ghost. The Youtube channel Uncle Tony’s Garage goes into this way better (link in pinned comment), and I do recommend watching it in its entirety. This car can in no way be a drag racing legend. It’s a bone stock car, fully loaded (making it heavier).
But looking further we find the whole MGM movie deal, how everthing about this car is a manufactured story, including the National Historic Vehicle Registry (owned by Hagerty), its showcasing in various Concours d’Elegance, Amelia Island showings (also owned by Hagerty).
The sad part is that if they wanted diversity, they could have chosen Big Willie Robinson, who has a well documented history of doing good for the car community. But its about money, and making it for themselves.
Hagerty is on board with carbon credits, every woke talking point, to where they exclude the largest demographic. I suspect that is what they are doing, by cancelling policies by some algo, for some client recomposition. Hagerty is now engaged in political activism, they pledge support to stakeholders, but not their customers or even share holders.
What happened to this once great company? Can it be fixed? Can any of them return?
If you want, listen to the video. There are some odd tells, showing there is more going on, mostly from the operator’s nervousness or silence. (I wont lie and say there are gotchas, but its still very coincidental and messed up)
But at least here, oil is thicker than blood, my brothers!

SHOCKING Performance – Dodge Challenger Hurricane Inline-6 Twin Turbo Sound…Better than a Hemi V8?
#Dodge #DirectConnection #HurricaneEngine
Dodge Hurricane Engine Review (sound and quarter mile) based on the video in which the Direct Connection Challenger Drag Pak, with the inline-6 twin turbo Hurricane engine for upcoming Dodge cars attempts some drag runs. The car is shown racing on the famous Woodward Ave drag strip, in Detroit, MI, the heart of American Muscle Car culture.
Video has been covered by several channels so far, but let’s help out a smaller channel, @TheMoparJunkie for recording such an important piece of automotive news, showcasing the sound the Dodge Hurricane Challenger makes. Regardless of Dodge Hurricane Sound, the video is very important! (Also, congrats to him, on his beautiful new Chrysler 300C!)
The Dodge Hurricane Challenger Drag Pak underperforms, in every metric that matters to buyers. Sure, it still looks good, but speed and exhaust sound are very muted. The Direct Connection team blames this on the car not being dialed in, which either shows that they don’t have a product anywhere near ready, or that this is the final product. A slow, heavy six cylinder car.
Dodge Hurricane engine 0-60 can’t be all that great either, from the drag runs in the video. Dodge Hurricane engine exhaust sounds more like a turbo diesel dump truck, or a bus than a muscle car.
This is Woodward Ave! Manufacturers bring out their fastest, dominating cars to test, as well as show off to enthusiasts. Yet, this is what Dodge thought was good enough. It is a major failure on Dodge’s part, in my opinion.
But, this is a win for us. Dodge realizes their EV electrification plans are not going well. EV’s are becoming the poisonous fruit for the auto industry. Sure, a Hemi V8 would be ideal, but this car, and its future failure will prove that we want internal combustion, and we want V8s (in the front, and with manuals please. Thanks GM *insert snarky Vette smile*)
I do mention ButterdaGreat’s video (burying the hatchet), and while I agree and think it’s a good video, I make my claim why Dodge cannot bring back the Apache 392 Hemi. As much as I want that, it doesn’t make sense. At least not for the next few years, by which time a new engine would be needed anyway.
California is sending surveys to classic car owners as well. This is not a coincidence. They know the effect classic cars have on young people. It is a sign of weakness. So, its on us, to step up, and get involved. Check out your local car clubs, and join them. It’s a fun way to get into this lifestyle, where we help each other, from buying a car, to repairs, and even yes, political issues. Cars are a part of our lives. Car clubs channel that, and due to our large numbers, politicians must listen. Just remember to avoid a certain insurance company!
So, share this video, get involved! Rev up! Thank you to all of you that stepped up in our club (more on that later), that subscribed, liked, did all the social media things you do. You guys are awesome.
Special thanks to Sandro! My brother in gasoline!

TRUMP Pledges to End BIDEN EV Mandates – PA Trucking Crisis (as viewed by a gear head)
#Trump #Biden #EPA
Trump Pledges to End Biden EV Mandates. We get into the political climate in the US, and how its affecting us, from EVs to trucking, jobs and the economy. Inflation is already beating us down, but we can expect more hardship due to regulations from Environmental activists, increasing the prices of trucking, and ultimately food.
EVs are still not economically viable, as they need subsidies and regulations, in the hope to increase their sales. All it does, is increase the prices of ICE cars, as a means to offset the massive losses in EV. Things are changing fast though, between the economic state of Western countries, to public opinion and appetite.
I go over John Stossel’s interview with a Pennsylvanian trucker, about the new regulations on diesel trucks. These regulations will increase the costs of new diesels by roughly 30%. Forget about the fact that there are no electric big rigs, this will add cost to goods shipped in the state.
The problem we see with older generations, is that they are willing to debate, and argue rationally against such measures and regulations. But you cannot argue with a religion. Its why I will keep saying it, you either convert to them, or you say no.
Of course, these politicians behave this way for power and money, but as a thought exercise, imagine what tech we could have if we did not use bans, but rather proactive solutions, such as air scrubbers. One cant help but think of terraforming, Mars, and other endeavors that never happen, in part due to the EPA.
The shocking aspect in Pennsylvania, is the Environment Quality Board, made up on self proclaimed “experts” such as the Heads of the PA Wildlife Board, Fish and Game or the Museum Board. This is more “experts say”, in an attempt to not be questioned, so us plebs merely obey. The problem is, people cannot AFFORD to obey. There isnt enough money, and this is how things collapse.
Gavon Newsom, governor of California is still doubling down on the ICE ban, with states like PA, NY, NJ, following blindly, right off the cliff. But, hopefully this will change in 2024.
BONUS
I take a quick look at the Luton Airport fire, where officials in the UK flat out lied that it was caused by a diesel fire. It was a 2014 Range Rover Diesel HYBRID, a hybrid with a Li-Ion battery pack that exploded, igniting other EVs, causing the massive inferno.
Rome is burning, and us peasants cannot afford to maintain this EV madness.
Vote accordingly. 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…

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,

Hagerty Valuation raises Dodge Charger/Challenger prices in 23? California ban increases Hemi prices
Will Dodge Charger and Challenger values go up? From Hemi R/T to Scat Pack, Wide Body, Narrow Body, to the Hellcat, be it a Redeye, Jailbreak, Last Call, Special Editions.
How do some cars go up in value? Insurance policies have a huge influence on the valuation and price of collector cars. Hagerty offers some great tools to make informed decisions on a car, interest shown in it, policies signed, and overall value. It, along with other insurers can often dictate how prices grow.
One confusing aspect of Hagerty is why they are promoting aspects against Car Culture, with columnists like Aaron Robinson, a typical “I got mine” type of person, highly partisan in most of this writings. He actively pushes AGAINST classic and collector cars, as if trying to lead Hagerty out of business. He sings the praise of California’s recent ban on gasoline vehicle sales, with no thought to consequences, effects, particularly on poor communities.
Electric vehicles are having serious issues in China, the leading EV market in the world.
However, a good columnist is Colin Comer that writes Hagerty’s valuation articles, tracking interest in new insurance policies for collector cars. He is upfront, and while making mistakes sometimes, he will showcase what cars go against his predictions. Ultimately, he is a numbers guy and a car guy.
This leads to my concern of how a new collector car’s value for insurance will include not just MSRP, but also ADM (mark-up) as well as financing costs over the life of the loan. This naturally increases the valuation of the car. Add to this a huge number of cars, such as the Dodge SRTs being insured, this will have an affect of prices.
Valuation is tracked by the interest shown, in quotes, policies, changes, etc, showcased by the example in the latest Hagerty magazine, how the Ford Excursion and Toyota Land Cruiser have increased in value in the last year.
While most makes and models will have sub models, trim models that may be more desirable, thus more expensive, Dodge with the huge number of trims, special editions will lead to confusion with insurers. This will lead to an increase in value, especially as demand remains high for the Hemi powered cars. Add to this some limitations of the software used by insurers, no doubt this will lead to confusion, which may end up erring on the side of caution, i.e. a higher Agreed Value for the policy.
Hopefully you guys can find your dream Dodge, and while it may be too late for an allocation, there will be 2023 cars on dealership lots. Don’t give up! Stay strong, just like our growing community!

Death of the Hemi | What Muscle Car should I get before 2024? | Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack Widebody
Smoking HOT Dodge Charger Scat Pack 392 Hemi…with a Widebody!
This is more of a now or never deal, where the car was delivered to the dealership but was never picked up. It wasn’t showing up in Dodge’s inventory listing, so I was lucky. It’s a 2022 fresh off the assembly line, and while the 2023s are coming, it made sense to get this car.
It is such a gorgeous color combination and fully loaded with every package (barring the ones that are either or type packages). Its Pitch Black outside and Ruby Red Alcantara/Nappa Leather interior. Its such a contrast and such a good place to sit while you rev this beast.
Power is the biggest current Mopar engine, the 6.4 naturally aspirated V8, that spin the giant 305 tires! Despite those huge tires, they still love burning rubber.
I will show you some cool features and a few tips. Before riding these cars hard, make sure to finish your break-in period. Although with prices skyrocketing for more or less any Hemi, I can’t blame anyone for babying them.
So if you are in the market for a 2022 or 2023 Dodge Challenger or Charger, watch this because while nobody can list ALL aspects to such a decision, I’m sure I will bring up at least one point or angle that you may not have considered.
POST PRODUCTION NOTE: So many rumors, announcements and other things have been coming out on a day to day basis that some things may be outdated already (even as far as some of my decisions…) however, the general ideas remain.

UNBELIEVABLE - NY Ban on Muscle Cars – NY 9528 Ends All Performance Cars – DMV in Total Control
https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/s9528?intent=oppose
NY Bill 9528 seeks to mandate “safety” equipment in ALL new cars starting in 2024. This is by far the most authoritarian bill regarding our freedom to travel that I have seen in a very long time.
It is not hyperbole when I say that ALL 2024 cars, from Mustang Dark Horse, Ram TRX, Dodge Banshee, Chevy Camaro, Chevy Corvette will be slower than your basic econobox.
9528 Mandates the use of “safey” and monitoring equipment in all new cars registered in NY, starting in 2024, as well as giving the DMV Commissioner complete control to mandate whatever he or she sees fit.
Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D) is the state senator sponsoring the bill, a completely out of touch politician from NYC, particularly the Village, and Upper East Side, where roads are closed, cars are not vital or even remotely part of their culture. This is the person that wants to tell YOU what your car must do.
9528 “Mandates the use of advanced safety technology in vehicles in the state and requires the commissioner of motor vehicles to promulgate certain rules and regulations.
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to mandating the use of advanced safety technology in vehicles in the state and requiring the commissioner of motor vehicles to promulgate certain rules and regulations.”
This bill seeks to empower the NY DMV Commissioner to decide everything from what the car looks like, what equipment it must have, and who gets to use any and all date recorded from the various systems and cameras! This is a NON-ELECTED official dictating to citizens.
"Advanced safety technology includes active Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB), Emergency Lane Keeping Systems (ELKS), Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS), drowsiness and distraction recognition technology, rear view camera sensor systems, and Event Data Recorders (EDR). BSIS shall include cyclist and pedestrian detection technology. EDR devices shall provide standardized and easily accessible data”
The bill is written more like an online article than an actual bill. Fear mongering targeted to NYC residents, non driving people, using false data that is contradicted by NYS Dept of Health and their own statistics show how stupid Hoylman thinks we are. Lies, deceipt and what we come to expect from a NYC politician.
We can stop this though.
Call your senators, congressmen, mayors, car dealerships, manufacturers, and let them know that you will not tolerate this. There is time to put pressure on NY Senate to FAIL this bill. Share this video. Contact other channels too, and lets make this happen!

BEST DEAL 2023 Challengers to order? MTX or 1320 Baby Demon!
What is the BEST 2023 Dodge Challenger to order? It may not be the special Last Call cars, but rather a much more rare combination of options to set it apart.
If you are buying your dream car, or hope to see appreciation on one of these cars, these are my predictions as to what will be the coolest, rarest orders you can place. Super Stock, Jailbreaks are done, not helped by the fact that nearly half of these allocations are going to the Last Call editions.
If you are lucky and can get a Jailbreak Challenger, you might consider the convertible from Florida Drop Top offered through Dodge during the building process.
Scat Packs have options not available on the Hellcats, such as the Shaker package, stick shift i.e. manual transmission (MTX) and can be ordered with bright color interiors.
I will go over my picks for the most sought after Scat Pack optioned cars for the 2023 Last Call year. This applies to the Wide Body Challengers.
For the Narrow Body Challenger, the best pick is without a doubt the 1320 package, be in solo seat, or with the $1 cloth passenger seat option, or an additional $1 option for the rear cloth seat. The 1320 Plus package includes all typical seating for a Challenger, but in leather and alcantara, as well as other features like heated steering wheels, seats etc.
The 1320 may end up being the rarest of ALL of the 2023 Last Call Challengers.
If you go ahead and place a deposit for a 2023 car (MY23) BEWARE of a scummy practice by some dealerships. They will deliberately make a mistake on your order, to get the customer to walk away from the order, leaving them with the car on the lot, and open to huge markups.
I would say get the car even if it is not perfect, since you should still get a great car, just ordered a bit different. In fact, with the problems Dodge has, many cars may be built WITHOUT certain options due to shortages on FCA’s part.

9 more reasons modern cars suck – China’s EV push and US automakers
I explain why auto manufacturers are going for EVs, and raise serious questions as to economic viability. This is BIG.
First, I cover serialized components, the kind that are linked to a specific VIN and will not work on another car. This causes serious issues when a specific model is older and out of production. How difficult, or even possible, will it be to use salvage parts? Do you own the car if you can’t even swap out a few parts to keep it rolling? This is one of the big points Louis Rossmann champions in the Right2Repair movement.
Plastics can be cheap or pleasant to the touch. Carbon fiber is now more common, and leather usage is at an all time high, but modern plastics never felt worse. Gone are the days when materials like Bakelite were used.
Wheels also lost their timeless appeal. Modern wheels have weird swirls and angles that just don’t age well compared to the simple spoked design, or turbine design, or even wheel-cover esthetics.
I do go on a bit of a rant with nose height on modern cars. They seem to be higher and higher, even on sports cars and muscle cars. Where are the wedge designs, the low slung noses of not that long ago?
Pedals as well lack any detail, unless in older style cars, and even that as just options. Chrome trim, knurls, dots, striations in durable rubbers that can last decades. Also related to pedals is the 2-pedal vs 3-pedal debate…now unified versus the one pedal driving thing. I have no words, but still win this argument LOL.
Marker lights, buzzers and chimes also have gone the cheap route, losing personality or appeal.
The big talking point of the video is the EV push. One would normally start such a debate from environmental concerns, but evidence will be seen too far in the future. Instead, I discuss the economics of it, and the connections to industries based in China, and the strategies behind US automakers decisions for electrification.
Without subsidies and heavy government push, EVs may not fair so well with consumers, much less the enthusiast. China boasts high production of EVs, and US automakers are caught in the middle, and have little choice but to try, in their minds, to sell this on the US market.
But the big question is, who is behind this financially? Who is invested in what technology? SEC has rules for insider trading, but politicians don’t have any such oversight, any such bodies to ensure conflicts of interest don’t occur. When asked, they deflect. When accused, they retaliate.
When is a question problematic? It’s when the answer is downright criminal.
0:00 Intro
0:45 Serialized components – VIN linked parts that wont work on another vehicle – Right to Repair (R2R) and ownership
1:59 Plastics – Carbon fiber, leather, Bakelite – more aviation influence
3:16 Wheel of the past look cool – simple dynamic designs

What Will 2023 Bring to the Car Community? Advertising and How it May Ruin Car Channels
2023 is here, but what can we expect? Financial crisis, inflation, car prices rising, and overall lots of changes coming. What can we do to brace for it?
The focus of this video will be on what to expect from car channels, and car videos. As consumer spending drops, layoffs at nearly every major company, people will spend less. When people spend less, companies wont buy ads. Google will offer cheaper ad space, which results in Youtube channels making less from these ads.
This will affect mostly larger channels, that rely on that income to operate. With less advertiser money coming in from Google, channels will be pushing in-content ads. We all know them, and there is nothing wrong about them, however, when channels begin pushing MORE of these, for longer and longer chunks of a video, it will have a big effect.
As a viewer myself, it can be frustrating, watching a video and realizing that it was nothing but a ten minute long infomercial. The channel’s opinion is biased. You think you get what they truly believe, but nope. Its all just a big ad.
This is already happening, and I chose two channels that are the most notable infomercial type videos.
Knockout360 to me at least, feels like its trying to cast a wide net, with contradicting view points, particularly on Dodge and electric vehicles (EV). One video he praises Dodge, one video he predicts their bankruptcy. All of them have the long car alarm commercials (some with questionable statements that might actually help thieves steal cars with this system installed).
Widebody Nation is another channel that seems to have a permanent relationship with the Destroyer1320 antitheft plate. In itself, its fine, so long as buyers are informed of the risks. As far as I could see from watching these videos, not once was this brought up. Dodge has the neutral release, like most every other manufacturer there for a reason. In a crash, it may save a life, unless it’s blocked off.
This will only get worse, as more channels will adopt this aggressive sales tactic, in effect ruining car channels that many of us enjoyed. Between political aspects, cultural ones, and Big Tech behavior, it will be difficult as a viewer to find enjoyable or useful videos.
I will do what I can though, because I care about car culture, American culture, and that is why I do many an announcement at the end of the video.
Thanks for watching, thanks for all the encouragement!

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.

Iconic vintage car commercials – Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, Chevy Camaro and more
Lets take a trip through history and watch some vintage car commercials! From the mid-sixties to 1969, with a few stops in the 80s and 2000s, to show just how much things have changed, or havent.
I will watch and comment on a few of them, like the first ever Ford Mustang Commercial in 1965 at the World’s Fair in NYC, to the iconic Volcano commercial for the all new Chevy Camaro in 67.
Of course, we cant forget about Dodge, the quintessential Muscle Car with the Charger R/T. Do you have a Date with Dodge Fever?
Mid 60s were laid back with Ford Galaxy 500 or Chevy II aka Nova or with the no nonsense narration of Lt Col John “Shorty” Powers for the Olds Delta 88. Pontiac was breaking the mold with cars and ads with a very uncharacteristically dynamic ad for 65 with their track focused commercial!
Transitioning to the late 60s is probably the most expensive of all these ads short of the Camaro ad, is the AMC Ambassador ad, with the Red Carpet Ride ad, all done with an actual unfurling red carpet!
But, lets face it. 1969 is the year to beat, and Ford’s LSD fueled ad campain of “Ford gives you better ideas” is both psychotic and hilarious at the same time! Ford Torino, Ford Mustang from Grande to Mach1, LTD all seen in the “Performance Corner”, if you had a time machine!
To round it all off, we compare these to the 2000s, Honda Element “I Pinch” ad, that spurred a series of Element and Friends ads, website, video game and even a Myspace page for the crab.
And since this is stuck in my head, yes, the 1985 Chevy Astro commercial. Because the 80s is what happens if you take 1969 and make a decade out of it. With more neon colors.

Lithium Ion Batteries – EXTREME Fire and Explosions in Power Tools and Cellphones
What happens when Li-Ion Batteries are exposed to pressure, crushing, shock or heat? Let’s look at the recent video posted by Hydraulic Press Channel and discuss what is happening in several cases, of different types of Lithium Ion batteries, from single cells, to consumer electronics such as phone, iphones, to power tool battery packs.
As much as I do like their channel, I will call out certain statements regarding the battery technology used in these electronics as well as EV cars. This comes in the wake of the Luton Airport massive parking garage fire.
On top of this, I do want to discuss the concerns with oxidation of home electronics, off-gassing of chemicals and other forms of slow burn, and possible toxic exposure. This type of slow burn is a serious concern of landfills as well as many of these batteries do make their way to garbage dumps etc.
Let’s talk about this.

Dodge Charger EV Needs COAL and YUGE Govt Spending $$$ to be Built – Dodge Will Fail in 2024
Recent news covers the ground breaking for the $4B Panasonic EV Battery Plant in De Soto KS, to supply 2170 Long Cylinder EV batteries for auto makers. We will look over several articles, including Panasonic’s own press release regarding the power consumption required to keep the lights on for the plant.
Yes, an entire coal power plant will be needed to power this EV plant. A coal plant slated for decommissioning due to environmental concerns is now suddenly ok to remain open. Not for your power, not for your electric bill getting cheaper, no, for Panasonic to build batteries for EVs that nobody wants to buy.
Before we get into more car related aspects, I do want to mention how politicians in red states seem to be fighting over getting this plant, and the associated power plant. Oklahoma, Wyoming and Kansas duked it out, with Kansas ultimately winning out the contract.
Somehow this is deemed a win for job creation? These are jobs that will not last, but give a false sense of job security to workers. Even if EVs do sell, and some makes (like Tesla) have stronger sales (though dwindling also), Dodge is not one of those makes.
Yes, Dodge. This plant is a joint venture between Panasonic, BMW and Stellantis. These batteries will be powering the new Dodge Charger Daytona EV along with every other EV Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram will offer.
Dodge went from being the bad boys to getting pats on the head from their EU overlords.
I go into my opinions on why the car is so important, dating back to the Civil War, Lincoln, the Wild Wild, and what the horse meant, and the transition to the horse being replaced by the automobile (focus on the auto, the autonomy). Prohibition saw a surge in the popularity and use of cars, leading to the birth of Nascar. Right now, we are faced with that existential threat to our way of life and our values.
Dodge hopes that we will buy these EVs by making their gasoline cars…suck. Last time I talked about the Hurricane Challenger at the drag racing event on Woodward Ave in Detroit. Since then, I have learned that the live streaming event, the Roadkill Nights suspended the stream anytime the Hurricane Challenger did a run. People were booing, mocking its performance and sound.
Time will tell.
I will begin putting in interesting videos related to Mopar, or Car Culture, and kicking it off is the sad fate of a Dodge Charger Daytona. Yes, bloopers at the end too, so keep watching, hemi a like and remember

Dodge Charger Daytona 392 Crash Analysis – Hemi Challenger Thefts on the RIse – 2023 UAW Strike!
A close friend was in a serious car crash with his brand new Dodge Charger Daytona 392. The car was totaled, but it kept him safe. It is a testament to how well made these cars are. They don’t just go fast really well, but are safe.
I go into a more in depth analysis of the collision and point out where the Dodge shined, despite such a heavy collision against a large pickup truck. The car was rear ended, and shoved into another car in front, resulting in severe damage to the trunk and engine compartment area. Despite all this, the cabin frame did not buckle, to where the doors were opened easily, allowing quick escape. The damage also reveals some peculiarities of Hemi’s (Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300 and 300C) of how these cars behave, in part to the large tires that seem to act as bumpers, preventing ingress into the cabin space.
This was a very sad story, though it does have a happy outcome, as my friend was able to find another new Daytona 392. In this crazy market, getting one without markup is awesome. But he, as well as all of us here won’t forget that the poor little car gave itself to save her occupants. RIP Daytona.
Things arent as good for the second car in the video. It’s a 50th Anniversary car, a 2020 Dodge Challenger Hemi. It’s a 5.7 V8, that my friend has been modifying for some time now. It has esthetic as well as performance modifications, as the car has been on a diet, shedding weight to the point it was holding its own against 392 Scat Packs.
From the simpler to do oil catch can, to the insanely awesome rear seat delete with OEM parts, he made this car his, and was keeping me up whenever he added (or removed) something. So it broke my heart to learn the reason for his silence in the past few days.
The car was stolen. Its horrible when your car is stolen but even the hope of recovering it and taking on scuffs, broken windows and the smell of ashtray was dashed when I saw what was done. It was totaled as well.
So, please, do what you can when it comes to anti-theft measures. It’s a sad world when you can barely have a nice car without idiots doing things to your car or flat out taking it. Police are of little use, and completely pointless in most US cities.
But, please, reach out if you are bummed. Either in a comment, email, anything. And I know that even if Im late I will answer. We are all that we have, as brothers.
As far as the UAW strike. I feel that FCA (Dodge) workers may be in for a hard time, as Dodge likely will shut down the Brampton Ontario plant without replacing the assembly line, to get rid of contracts or workers, or simply to offshore. History may repeat itself as Ford did in 2011 with the end of the Crown Victoria (Grand Marquis and Towncar) when the St Thomas plant in Ontario was shut down, and torn down.
Unions don’t care, nor do they help the harders working employees, since its all about seniority, not passion or dedication. And that is one thing I have seen with the Brampton workers. You guys have the passion and drive. So, thank you for building our cars, and being part of the Brotherhood of Muscle!
