Director, Dodge Marketing
After a harsh, snow packed winter, spring has finally arrived in
southeast Michigan. And with it, arrives the blossoming daffodils, the
nesting birds and thank goodness…the smell of uncombusted high octane
fuel.
I was fortunate enough to retrieve my Challenger from Sun Valley storage
the other day, and have my bi-annual […]

Okay..so a Dodge did not get to victory lane in the 51st running of the
Daytona 500 Sunday night..but the Dodge Boys certainly demonstrated that
they will be a force to reckon with this season. This pic was snapped on
my blackberry from the roof of Richard Petty’s #44 car hauler where my

Wintertime Blues? Not With the New Challenger, My Friends

Director, Dodge Marketing
I have lived in Michigan on and off my entire life. For those unfamiliar
with the climate here, winters in the northern United States can be very
brutal…especially on pre-galvanized steel cars, like the muscle cars of
the 60’s and 70’s.
Sub zero temperatures, snow and ice storms, the dumping
of heavy rock salt on […]

It’s starting already.
Okay, it really started a few weeks ago, but it reached critical mass this week. I am talking about the Woodward Dream Cruise. Officially were still days away, but I went out and it’s a picture perfect Michigan summer evening…and it brought out the classic cars en […]

Not to interrupt the launch talk, but I thought I’d share some thoughts
from last weekend.
The Dodge Challenger 500 was a great time. While we love winning races
at Dodge, a close second was watching the Hemi Orange Dodge Challengers
pace the field. These modern day power machines looked particularly
hott under the lights […]
