You're not missing much other than seeing that the Challenger is built in canada and mexico :-(
So much for the "American" car

One mistake they had, was they said the Challenger was introduced in 1969. I know that would be sorta true as a '70 model. But it isn't exactly true either. Overall, I liked it.

Well,if you take the geographic center between those two foreign places (Ramos Arizpe, Mexico and Brampton, Ontario), you get this:

Geographic midpoint
Latitude: 35.069055
Longitude: -91.532093

Nearest address:
County Road 425
Des Arc, AR 72040, USA

So I'm just going to believe that they are made in Arkansas....   :whistling:

Thanks for the tip, I caught the tail end of the show. Arkansas? Someone has some time on their hands. :D

Took me two minutes to find that geographic location center and spin out the results. As it is a public service I feel I can afford it.... :rofl:

But the money comes back here, right?

Glad you noticed the double standard. ;)

I've seen bits and pieces of the show while flipping channels. Some of the new equipment is really cool! I did notice that sometimes the background shots of the line show Chargers (presumably they showed the best take).
