Dodge suspends production for three weeks at Brampton due to the Tribar pollution scandal. Tribar is accused of ignoring 460 alarms indicating toxic waste released in the Huron river.
Dodge also cancelled the 7th special edition car at SEMA. While some suspect its related to Tribar, it is more likely that the car is the same 6.2L Hemi but one of the Direct Connection Stage Kits. This is the easiest for them to build and certify, even though California is still blocking the release.
GM is in damage control mode as a viral video shows the brand new GMC Hummer EV with a charge time of over 4 days on regular 120V, and over 24 hours on a fast charger. This is what happens when you have planned economies and people no longer have a free market with fiscal consent. Free market allows for evolution, advances and progress to be made where manufacturers make money and consumers get the cars they actually want.
Texas also flexes on muscle car owners, by seizing a Dodge SRT Challenger Hellcat Redeye, modified at over 1080HP and plans on using it for patrol. Besides the Civil Asset Forfeiture arguments, Texas State Troopers are neither familiar with operating the car, or maintaining a customized vehicle. Just the stock car requires attentive car, otherwise resulting in costly repairs thrown onto the taxpayer. Hurray, right?
To end, a bittersweet commercial Dodge put out in 2009 for the Challenger. Red coats vs George Washington (played by Robin Williams? Its unclear), where American Revolutionaries are charging with Challengers (see what I did?). Its one of the best commercials that makes me proud of being an American, but also sad as both the things mention in that video are at risk of being lost forever.
Cars and Freedom.
