Merry Christmas from Roadkill, street legal stock car

Uhh, yeah, you're wrong there. The only reason 20 and 30 year olds aren't buying them is because they're expensive. I'm not a mopar guy but the hellcat is cool, period. It's the top dog in the current muscle car wars and there's no way to refute that until there's something with more power and speed.

Sorry if you're losing touch with cool, it happens to everyone eventually. ;-)

That's just funny on so many levels.

I too was late to discover "Roadkill". I prefer to watch the episodes on www.roadkill.com NO silly youtube ads. ALL episodes available.

Oh, and this is my favorite episode too!

New episode is up. I won't spoil it here but let's just say I was pleased with the results of the drag race & hot lap showdown. All is right with the world.

What is this little white wagon next to the portajohn in the background of this scene?

I see quad sealed beams & general '80s-ness which suggest AMC Eagle, but I also see side skirts, flares(?) and a body-colour grille which say otherwise. If it's an Eagle it looks like it's been lowered. Any ideas?

B2 PAssat Wagon?

I agree with the idea that this is an Eagle.

It was fun to see them at Hallett, but they need more road course practice.

I was thinking the same thing. The reason I didn't look at Hellcats when I bought my FR-S was not because they aren't cool, or because I'm 34. It was because I don't have that kind of money.
