2009 Dodge Challenger R/T: You Write the Caption

challenger-fountain-555.jpg

Our Chief Tester Chris Walton took this photo of the Dodge Challenger at the Eberle Winery in Paso Robles.

Here are our attempts at a caption: "Yesterday, I peed on a new Camaro." Now that's starting the day off with class. Or how about "Boarn To Be Wild"

We look forward to reading yours.

We'll post our favorite at 4PM Pacific Boar Time.

"Wanting to 'eat it up' is not a compliment when the diner is a pig."

Hello, Officer.

ergsum says:

08:55 AM, 06/26/09

Our Challenger has developed some wines and squeals under the hood.

Boar marks his territory in fear of a new Challenger

ergsum says:

09:24 AM, 06/26/09

This vintage is wide-bodied, softly sprung , but not floaty, with aromatic hints of leather, burnt rubber and premium octane.

Nature is just jealous of my hemi!

blaze_orange says:

09:42 AM, 06/26/09

From this angle I can see the resemblance.

vwthing1 says:

09:46 AM, 06/26/09

-Hey porker, if you're going to hog all that gasoline, at least don't boar drivers with wallowy handling.

-the fear of swine flu cleared out the parking lot.

-We pulled in to the porking lot at this swinery.

sideswiper says:

09:46 AM, 06/26/09

Even its boaring competition drools over it.

Warning: These animals can kill you.

ergsum says:

@VWthing - porking lot and swinery made me snicker!

Just another evening at the Boar's Nest.....YEEEHAAWWW!!!!!

actualsize says:

09:52 AM, 06/26/09

Winery? Paso Robles? Sounds like the Challenger just starred in a remake of "Sideways". It's a much better sideways vehicle than a Saab convertible, and a much better mid-life crisis car.

(An observation, not a submission)

vwthing1 says:

09:52 AM, 06/26/09

My AA mentor told me the parking lot would be empty before 8 AM.

Apologies. I tend to salivate when excited.

The Arnold Ziffandel here is to squeal for!

actualsize says:

Watch my smoke. These Michelins will be bacon in a few seconds.

actualsize says:
