    I sent the second letter of my life to Mopar HQ.
    I received a phone call from the head office.
    We talked for an hour.

    I hope they listened as well as Bob Lutz obviously did. One talent I have is so see holes in a market. I nailed it with the Challenger and new Hemi.

    I know I nailed it with the latest round of suggestions. If they follow my lead, again, they will once again climb back on top.

    Viper, Challenger, Cuda, and other things on which I gave a very, very detailed guide to them.

    I wait. They have a choice. Blow their brains out or bring back the Challenger and Viper. If they do not do both of those, they have committed suicide.

    The problem is that third world counties would not have battery chargers. One drive and they would be permanently parked. lol.

    Stellantis, apparently, has a new sales strategy for the Charger Scat Pack EV. The car has been seen in Italy and on Dodge's European website. I don't think that Europeans will buy this large and expensive car, but we shall see.

    I've read there are more than 35,000 public charging points in Italy and more than 150,000 across Europe so recharging may not be an issue? If they're priced right who knows as the EV might be a more viable choice economically due to gas prices for 'American Muscle'?

    We shall see. Europeans seem to have an aversion to American-made cars. They look at them as poor handling boats.

    They are not familiar with our penchant for big, fast things, like the 300-pound football player who can run a 4.4 second 40 yard sprint.

    And, don't forget their highly-unbalanced tariffs compared to ours on their goods. Trump is presently working to get all tariffs dropped in lieu of the stupid level of tariffs we have been tolerating on our goods while putting minimal tariffs on their goods coming here.

    A disaster in the making. Unfortunately, in the U.S., Musk has managed to diminish the investigative capability of the regulatory body responsible for automotive safety. See the various forms of reporting on the Tesla death of Navy Seal Joshua Brown.
