Official Dodge Extended Cut | Predators
Have you seen the new Dodge ad that came out yesterday? It features a pair of Hellcats in the Charger and Challenger and then the Viper:
I don't know about you, but I can feel it! This is pretty much what I wish every night was like...

AAM Dyno Day at Boost-Performance and September Cruise Night
This past Saturday was a great day for Amarillo Area Mopars. We had a trifecta of Mopar events that cover all facets of the hobby. In the morning we had our Club Dyno Day at Boost-Performance. The afternoon brought on Cruise Night. The evening concluded with a Street Car Shootout at the Track.

One of the things most exciting about driving, or running errands for any gearhead should be simple enough...Well, past driving that is...You get to see other cars out on the highways, city streets, and nestled away in the farthest outskirts of the parking lot.
I don't always have the opportunity to take a picture, they are rarely anything worth bragging about taking, but I like them for another reason...They are a time piece. Think back to when you were younger...Remember all those awesome old Mopars you'd see running around. Maybe you took a picture of the wildest 'Cuda in town, but passed over the plain looking Coronet R/T, or the jacked up Charger...The few people that did take those pics, and kept them, now have pretty cool conversation pieces, think hotrod340 on the AAM Forum. Just seeing the cars in everyday settings (grocery store, driveway, at a shop, etc), all tell a story and make you wonder who drove the car, if they still have it, and where the car might be now.
I can't build a time machine to go back to the hey-day of the Muscle Car Era, but I can take advantage of living in the digital age. It is now easier than ever to be equipped with a camera (at all times mind you), and quite convenient and cost efficient to snap pics of what you find.
As always, you can't always find super nice, lightning fast, classic Mopars...some are more of the "garden variety" late model. And while seeing what looks like a "plain" Challenger R/T now, might not seem great...Think what it will be like in 20-30 years when things have changed. That same "not so neat" picture you take now, might wind up like that 68 Charger at Krogers someone snapped in the mid-70s.
The other important thing to note is that I think today, despite how easy and cost effective (you don't even have to print the pics to share them anymore), fewer people take pictures. I know at our local cruise nights I am one of the only ones who bothers to take pictures. I've even seen it at big shows...people will track me down online to see if I have a picture of their car at the show, on the cruise, or at the track etc. I think the issue is so many people just ASSUME that with it being so easy to take pics, they can find them without putting forth the effort themselves...that is unfortunate and definitely not the case!
I ultimately like to view what I do here as chronicling the Mopar presence...As a history buff, and a Mopar fanatic, I view this as the necessary work load of due diligence. I don't want to age and wind up telling other Mopar people about "what things used to be like"....I want to SHOW them.
I have been taking pictures of Mopars for years now...I will start uploading a few of my more recent finds to archive here. While not all will garner the same "wow" on that initial glance, I hope that down the road, they will all be pretty impressive. Who knows...you might even see your Mopar outlined here in my "Spotted" catalog!
