    Sad, but the current muscle car run will have lasted much longer than the original run from the late 60s/early70s.

    There have been over 550,000 Challengers made since 2008. I think the ones that will appreciate most are the Hellcats, Demons and other limited production models.

    In time, ALL the Hemi engines will increase in value.

    The nice low mileage examples will get scarce and be very desirable. Like you said, the uncommon ones first. Who thought the 4th gen (1998 - 2002) Camaros and Trans Ams would rise in value with the rather common LS1 engine. Prices have gone nuts for the nicer ones as we approach the 20 year mark. As long as gas is still available there is no reason the Challengers won't follow a similar pattern, even with a longer production run.

    Nation-states are being converted incrementally into authoritarian socialist states, based on the China model. This is what conspiracy theorists (going back to the 1950's) referred to as the New World Order. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

    How did this happen? While we were busy pursuing our own selfish endeavors; calling those who tried to warn others "conspiracy theorists", they were permeating the system.

    Some nation-states are currently living under medical martial law over a cold virus that has a 97.4% survival rate for healthy individuals. Why? To destroy private business and local economies; to the benefit of corporate controlled central government.

    As far back as I can remember, I've always known that I'm surrounded by idiots... I just never realized how many, until now.

    COVID-19 is much more than a cold virus. It is caused by a new human coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, that has not been seen in people before.

    In the U.S., 53,657,706 people have been infected, with 821,302 deaths. This is a huge number. As a comparison, the U.S. suffered 419,400 deaths in WW II.

    Globally, 282,800,017 have been infected with 5,414,213 deaths.

    This virus is no joke and should not be minimized. I rarely get sick, but wound up in ICU for 27 days, last year, on 16 liters of oxygen with severe lung and heart issues. Over one year later and I am still on medication.

    If everyone would get vaccinated, this pandemic would go away. Look at what happened to polio, smallpox, chickenpox, measles and mumps.

    You were doing fine until that last sentence. The VACCINATED are getting the new variant and spreading it rapidly. I simply look at the pro sports leagues that have almost 100% VAX rates. They spread this new variant rapidly and easily among themselves. The NHL has locked practices and locker rooms and they have been hit hard with new cases almost every day.

    I'm sorry, and we are all sorry about your personal situation. So many have passed away (mostly the sick elderly) that may have lived another few years but most healthy people survive just like 68MOPAR stated. They now have natural immunity that is probably better than the vaccinated. No one can give you a straight answer, not even the CDC. Nothing but mixed messages and guessing, like the '6 foot' rule that had no basis in science. It was a 'best guess'.

    Our heroes (1st responders and all medical folks) were praised throughout the pandemic, now they are being terminated because they are suddenly stupid and unable to make their own decisions about getting vaxxed. Nothing but politics now, plain and simple.
