Everyday Muscle

pSo, as I've decided to be patient in my hunt for a 1979 Trans Am, I have started to look at modern muscle cars, and there are a few reasons for this.br / The main one being, a classic muscle car isn't an everyday car, it's something that you drive once in a while that you are always messing with because it most likely always has something wrong with it. I am fine with that. But to get around all the time I can't be doing it in what I'm driving right now- which is a 2008 Mini Convertible.br / Now don't laugh- , it's a great car, quality, handles perfect, great on gas, park it anywhere.br / My main issue is that the car is so small NO ONE can see you, which, as you know how people drive in Los Angeles, is a problem. On a daily basis I am very nearly killed by whatever giant SUV everyone is driving these days. On the highway, semis don't even know I exist, because I basically don't. I also never put the top down simply because I grew up in NJ, where I'm not used to being able to put a top down and I'm not sure I ever will be.br / So I'm going to be completely irresponsible and get a modern muscle car- which brings us to the contenders-/p pThe new Dodge Challenger, pictured first, is amazing. Bob and I test drove an R/T with Mikey Way in the back seat and it is a BEAST. The interior is nothing to brag about, spartan, comfortable, nondescript. Bob opened it up on the highway and I slightly fishtailed it taking a turn, which also felt pretty bitchin. I also feel like it's the one new muscle car that looks most like the old ones./p pNext up is the 2010 Chevy Camaro.br / I think this is a great car but I don't think I will be into it. It has a hardcore future vibe and every time I look at it I can't help thinking Transformers VS Batman-TO THE DEATH!. Nothing about this car looks old to me and I'm not sure if I even think of an old Camaro when I look at it. It isn't out yet but I may wait to drive it- because I've heard great things though I can't get past the looks./p pThen the 2009 or 2010 Ford Mustang.br / Right now this is my 2nd favorite, and while I feel it does have some of the old looks, it may be a bit too fast and furious for me, though I may love it when I drive it, seeing as it's a sportier frame, will handle better, and the interior looks great. I also can't see getting one that isn't a GT500 Cobra...I mean you have to get the Cobra if you're going to get a Mustang. I am going to drive this today I hope./p pWish me luck./p
