Two Dodges don't make a right.
Flanked at work!

The important thing in the OP's pic is that everyone is parked correctly. Well done.

Look at it on the bright side. You are parked beside two nice cars and don't have to worry about getting your doors beat in.

You're right, 2 Dodges don't make it right, but 2 Wright's made the airplane.

There were also 2 5.0's and another Challenger elsewhere in the lot. They all pulled through, which I guess is the same end result as backing in.

Three muscle cars, and not one a V-8. Yet every single one is faster than the V-8 cars they pay tribute to.... And that charger has an autobot sticker on it's fender near the marker light.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that. Lol

And for some of the cream of the crop, well, a '63 Dodge in street trim could do a sub-13 second 1/4 mile...if you knew which boxes to check off When we think of 'muscle cars' today, we forget that if you bought the right one, you were going very, very fast. What's really cool is that today, my 2012 1SS with a 376 is 426 bhp, while the very exotic aluminum block 427 in the '69 COPO made 430 bhp. The depressing thing is I carry over 9lbs per bhp, while the '69 has just over 7 lbs per bhp. Something tells me that COPO wasn't hooking when they tested it in 1994.

Nothing wrong with either of those cars. I owned a 2010 Camaro, but was not practical for me with my family and where I live. I know own a 2013 Charger R/T AWD and I love It. Way more practical now...
