Mopar madness today!  This driveway contains five Mopars that I can see:  two covered Dodge Challengers, one 1973 Plymouth Duster, and two unidentified cars in the back.  The covered Challenger on the left is a 1973 or 1974 by the large rear bumper guards.  Of course, none of these cars run.  However, there are two drivers on street, a 1970 Dodge Challenger and a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger.  These two are driven across the street and parked on Mondays for street sweeping and returned to their spots for street sweeping on the opposite side of the street on Tuesdays.  The only things that seem to change are the car covers on the Challengers every few years.  We can only guess what might be in the garage.

And once again we find all of the property, including the autos, in poor care. In the garage? All I can assume is.....There in the rickety old garage;

is a brand new shiny red Super Stock Dodge!

Wow, great find. From the looks of the whole lot, I'm wondering if any of them will truly get saved. I hope so.😟

I'm sure they're loved by their neighbors...NOT!

Well of course not!! She was so fast, that by the time you got there, she was likely in Duarrte or Glendora by then!  Laugh

@sizedoesmatter You can be sure they couldn't care less what the neighbors think. The 70 Challenger is my favorite MoPar muscle car but I wouldn't want it in my neighbor's drive way. Thanks for the series Pete as I look forward to each submission.

FINALLY! These lady drivers are getting away with murder. Well, OK, speeding at least. I'm tired of it and the favoritism. Glad to see ol' Sarge giving her a tasted of instant karma!
