I wouldn't hold my breath on that helping Luis, some people can't be helped until that happens to them.........and even then they may try and sue you, the tank maker, the valve maker, the auto maker, and whoever they can think to blame for their own idiocy.

Could be, if they're are like the self contained ones like Jeep used back in the mid 90's, the shock could have set them off. I've also heard of airbags going off if vehicle movements are beyond a given set of parameters.......Like jumping or landing off a jump, powersliding on gravel in a vehicle that normally wouldn't be, ect.

Depending on when in the 70's that episode took place, they could have just used a General Lee reissue with the box art or just have done like Round 2 now is and create a vintage looking box for it.

Probably what ever the boutique car of the day was.

Can you imagine getting a plane and finding out your pilots are going to be Travolta and Dickenson!

Really?

Lol, I can't see that Decepticon looking thing doing well for any length of time, electric power or not and I'd be afraid to ride Jr's for fear of CO poisoning plus I think I've seen UPS trucks with fewer rivets than that seat has. Not sure if the Jesse James bike would be all that comfortable to ride for a long distance, but I've got enough "padding" to counter some of that.

Wonder if Fiat will sell any more than Dodge, those things are almost like hens teeth around here.

IIRC Tom, the Magnum didn't really exist in Europe and The 300 Estate never existed here. I think the Magnum might have been an experiment to see if wagons would sell here without harming the 300's name. I'm not surprised that the Charger parts would fit (wouldn't be surprised if the Challenger would too.)

Believe it or not, we haven't gotten any snow yet, in fact I haven't even seen much for frost yet!

Well,if it was light, agile, had a nasty strong I-6, and rwd, I'm sure that many would be happy:D

Nah, no F-Body ever looked that good.................

I think it was both Chuck and I agree fully, seems like the only cars that ended up not looking that way were the Sebring and Avenger......those just got screwed over in a different way it seems.

Always thought it was funny that he was the only one of the three that didn't actually have a beard. Any of you guys ever see pics or video of the before the beards? I swear Billy Gibbons looked Elwood Blues in one old concert I watched on YouTube.

I seem to remember that was Daimler's idea. IIRC they thought Chrysler's best products were it's trucks, so all of Chrysler's vehicles should look like trucks and should sell better because of it.......... Does that kind offend anybody else?

I'll bet all they were looking at was the car and plane kits themselves, they probably didn't even think somebody would notice things like period incorrect box art or even the kit itself (as in using the Revell Charger instead of a General Lee or F&F Charger.)

I've seen Micheal Gross a few times at IHobby over the past few years, Bachmann includes dvd with somd of their train stuff that hd is in as a host. I've also heard that Joe Perry from Aerosmith is also s big train guy too. I didn't know Bruce Dickenson was jnto trains too, he is a big time plane person like John Travolta though. I've heard he actuallt flies for a major airline.

The Dart name could very well be more appropriate on this car than it was on those that have carried that name in the past, especially if all of them are strong performing cars and not just the higher end models.

Eh, my first thought could still work, and even if the "i" was left out it could work. (Forgot how his name was spelled too.)

I like it and if it's upsized for the US market, I might actually fit in it too! They need that too, wonder if it will be a reworked MiTo or 500 then........

Actually, if placed on the right vehicle, the Aries name would fit right in with all of those. Remember, not only was that the name of one of the cars that helped save Chrysler the last time around, but it's also the name of the Greek God of War

I hope so! Which means it's got a snowball's chance of happening Gotta agree here, they really need real replacement for the Neon than a niche car that would rob sales from the Charger and Challenger.

Ummmm, forget real or model, what is it

I'm more curious on how long the tires will last, I've personally blown apart and burned down tires on my stuff and have seen and heard many more stories like it over the years.
