Vanishing Point Redux
Permalink | Comments (2)I think pretty much every guy goes through a car phase growing up. I used to be able to identify almost every car on the road with just a quick glance. I could rattle off the manufacturer, make, year and lots of other useless data… especially for the muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s. Of course, I loved car chase movies too.
One of the classic movies of this genre is Vanishing Point. I don’t really remember what the plot was all about (which just gets in the way of the car chases anyway), but I do remember that the car was fast, looked cool and could burn lots of rubber. Pretty much what any adolescent kid wanted from a car.
Well, it looks like that car is coming back. After a long hiatus, the Challenger will be back in 2007 (at least that’s what the WSJ is thinking). The Challenger concept car, along with the Camaro concept car, are the big hits from this year’s Detroit Auto Show. Hopefully, these cars will help get Detroit out of its current funk.

…and, of course, it’s got a Hemi.
