Autoview: I'll Take my Challenger in Pink.

While I was out and about in downtown St. Louis last weekend I came across a vehicle that immediately peaked my interest. Backed into a parking spot at a high class hotel was the all new Dodge Challenger. Let's be honest, the car is a looker, but, it has been on the market long enough to where I don't jump for joy at its sight. This particular Challenger, however, was special. Its custom pink paint job glistened in the sunlight as did its custom billet grill. I couldn't help but notice the detailed pin striping and custom "ram" emblem on the hood. All of these elements, while not my style, can be forgiven. After all, Barbie deserves a car too. It was then that I realized what I had really stumbled upon.

The back end looked different. It was wider and meaner than a typical Challenger. Could this cute pink car be hiding racing slicks? Now that is a sleeper if there ever was one. I slowly walked around the car in sheer anticipation when my mouth hit the floor. What I saw was perhaps one of the greatest demonstrations of form over function. Why anyone in their right mind would want to do this to a vehicle is beside me and this is coming from a guy who moments ago was hoping to see slicks on a street car. Enough words, sometimes a picture just tells it all.
