    You guys are so lucky to have cars like this. They look good, they sound good, they eat too much, but they are masterpieces. Dodge Charger is a legend, such a beautiful car

    I was surprised that the engine of the car was able to start and the transmission worked even in such a dire situation!
    This is a really moving video.
