new toy to go with my CLK

Well I picked this up two weeks ago and it is a blast to drive.
I am keeping the CLK for my driver and this as yet another toy to have.
It is number 2163 out of 6400 made. each 2008 is limited edition with dash plates.

I really love the front end of that car, so mean.
1970 Challenger is one of my favorite classic rides. The movie death proof left me HARD!

I actually sold that H1 to buy the challenger.
I am in the process of building another H1 that will Rock!!!!
I am doing a cummings conversion with a total lift of 7 inches. Bobbing 6 inches off the front frame and modding the hood to fit. By doing this it will climb a 6 foot vertical wall.
It wont look as nice as the HMC4 in the pic but for a wheelin rig it aint to look pretty.

They have been out for about 3 weeks now
most of them are sold already and the rest dealers are adding about 20 to 25K over msrp.
The hummer will take a few years to build since I am doing the work and time is the hardest thing to come up with. LOL
And the movie Transformers had the new Camaro in it.
This is the new DODGE CHALLENGER sorry just had to pick on you since i hear that alot.
