Why do the guys at Neiman-Marcus have all the fun?

Only seven available, for the bargain basement price of $179,500. Is it just me or does it look like a Batmobile?

I like the new Challenger, although, on topic here, I find it too short. But the lineage shows through. Just wish they hadn't put a typically vanilla Dodge interior. That ride screams for a dash of turned metal, a shiny shift knob and a rally wheel.

Did you see that episode of Overhaulin' where Gary Dourdan from CSI came in, and they took the body from a '67 Charger and dropped it onto the frame of a 2007 R/T Charger? Then again, you don't just "get" to work for Chip Foose.

AW- another one (albeit Plymouth) we left off the long and strong list- Plymouth Superbird. Now that looks like it could've been another Batmobile. Minus the whole stealthy paint job deal. Holy shit man- do you know what those things are worth these days? "I'd have to sell a kidney for a car like that" isn't just a metaphor.

I lerve me some Superbird. The Wing of the Gods.

No, I missed that episode. I don't get enough Foose time any more. I do, however, get a regular dose of Mythbusters each week.

Even by today's standards, that thing is fast. The only reason it was even on showroom floors was so they could race it at NASCAR.

I love that show. You did see the one where Kari cut down the tree with the minigun, right?
