ergsum says:

07:27 AM, 05/14/10

Hmmm, love that new car smell!

ergsum says:

Life may sometimes be the pits, but you can always count on Dodge Challenger to be a cherry ride.

dougtheeng says:

08:22 AM, 05/14/10

"That thing got a hymen in it?"

This is a winner for sure, but I'm guessing its too racy to be selected a winner. Still, unofficial winner in my books.

ibmx360 says:

07:33 PM, 05/14/10

The Challenger is like a Cake with a cherry on top. You have all these layers like the engine and the transmission, the body and the outcome is good and yummy
