    I saw this in Times Square a few weeks ago on my way to work. I was hoping that it was actually a M.A.S.K.-type vehicle whose doors when opened could generate enough lift to fly around and defeat America's enemies by night, while getting America's groceries by day. Thank you for shattering my dreams, Jalopnik.

    This will help recruit all those high school dropouts who think they'll be able to drive one of these when they sign up.


    Which will be a step up from the gangster/druggies they're settling for now.

    I love it! That challenger is one mean motherf**ker despite what the Jalopnik "poseurs" say or think. I could see that thing "cruizing" down I57 and not being picked up on police, or even the Marseilles Doppler Radar. All of a sudden, all those who didn't give a rats ass about how Government money was spent have found religion - give me a break!

    Yo Dawg, I heard you like the idea of serving your country, so I put the Air Force in your car so you can go off to the Middle East to fight some nebulous "war on terror" while you drive.

    "When do we get a turn at the stick?"


    You might want to rephrase that question, A.I.

    And speak for yourself--I'd much rather drive the car.

    If I built a car, it would be damn near identical to the Challenger. Dark as night radar absorbing paint, redundant controls for a secondary driver, uncluttered interior...


    Who knows when you might have to hop out on the roof while your co-pilot takes the wheel, outrun John Law or change the radio stations with ease.


    Does it have an A/C delete on the option list?

    The editors seem to be using the tips we send in, which is nice, but not giving any shout-outs at all as a thank-you.


    We've seen them; except for Pete, they're all scrawny little guys, I say we take them out back to the woodshed and rumble 'em til they say thank you.

    Ford Transit?


    Yeah. There we go. Ford Transit. Efficient, versatile, sexually ambiguous. And boxy enough to look like a boat when painted up right.

    The Navy has so few pilots though, you usually end up stuck in the butt of a submarine. Or the butt of a ship. Or the butt of a man.
