    I was at the Woodward Dream Cruise last weekend, and it was a GAS! Over 1.3 million spectators, and about 60,000 antique and collectible cars cruising Woodward. I have lots of pics and I am getting Stefan's help to post them, and do it right. Here are a couple of the new Challenger. Chrysler had the best display, followed by Chevrolet. Ford was there, but in a smaller capacity. Enjoy!:)

    I had to look at that black Challenger a few times to tell if it was a new or old one. That car really looks great!

    thanks for sharing photos... cool retro gremlin!

    the challanger is nice but by the time that challanger comes out gas will be 5.00 bucks a gallon! lol! or maybe 4.00 and mopar will be chapter 11 again and be owned by toyota... lol!

    don't get me wrong i love gas drinking cars... but i'd say now days people want good gas mileage.... personally i can't wait till it gets to be $5.00 bucks a gallon and get all these SUV drivers who drive their SUV like cars off the road! lol!

    John; yes, met Dale at the White Castle, and had a great day after that. He is a good guy. Had his Dad with him, and took him around in the show. Good time and good folks. Hope I can go again next year. It will be GM's 100th aniversary, and they have quite a big show planned. :)

    what really amazed me about Dale and his father was this year at the Gathering when we toured the car museum, they both have a vast knowledge of the really old cars.
