Dodge Ramcharger

A really cool fullsize 2 door SUV made by Dodge from 1974-1993. Popular with off roaders and rednecks. Designed to compete with the Ford Bronco and the Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy. However, big 2 Door SUVs were going out of style in the 90's and it's 70's body style was quite old fashioned by 1993. So Chrysler Co decided to quit making this model and focus on more modern soccer-mom mobiles.

Tyrone: I wish I still had my awesome '77 Dodge Ramcharger. That thing was great. Now I look like a pussy driving around in a '99 Dodge Durango.
Bill: Haha, thats a soccer-mom mobile. Go on to ebay and find another Ramcharger for sale.

CHiPs

CHiPs was a cop show that aired from 1977-1983, about the lives of two CHP Motor Cycle officers. It staring Erik Estrada as the cool but accident prone Frank "Ponch" Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as his calm level headed partner Jon Baker. Robert Pine also starred as the no nonsense but kind hearted Sergeant Joseph Getraer. Plots usually revolved around chasing out of control drivers, saving peoples lives in car crashes, and going after burglars. But there was also sub plots involving the Officers social lives and SoCal lifestyle.

Opening scenes featured the actual California Highway Patrol building, located under the Santa Monica Freeway in down town L.A. The theme song and Crash scenes were filmed around the valley on unopened streches of Freeways.

A made for TV movie came out in '98 called CHiPs '99, starring many of the original cast members.

CHiPs is probably one of the best shows ever. Motor cycles, car crashes, hot chicks, cool scenary, what more could ya ask for. Can't wait for season 3 to be released on DVD.

Imperial

An underated car made by Chrysler Co. First appeared in the 20's. In the late 50's, it was sold as it's own model to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln. It failed though, due to obvious reasons. There was no seperate "Imperial" dealership. Imperials were sold in Chrysler dealerships, and customers thought of them as a higher priced Chrysler with a different badge. Poor quality was another factor, as they had rust and mechanical problems. By 1964, the Imperial ditched it's outdated rust prone 50's style for the nicer boxy look similar to the Lincoln Continental. This body style was used in the 2011 movie "The Green Hornet". 1964-1968 were probably the best years for the make. 1969-1973 models were quite impressive looking too, with huge grills, and a sleek fuselage bodystyle. 1974 introduced an even bigger body style that came out at the wrong time. With the gas crisis in full swing, Chrysler decided not to waste anymore time on an already failing marque. So the last Imperial was made in 1975.

Several attempts to resurect the name have happened, what with the 1981-1983 bustle back coupe that nobody liked. And the 1990-1993 boring small 4 door sedan that looked like all other Chrysler cars at the time.

Max: I just saw "The Green Hornet" at the movie theatre. Dude....that black car was fuckin' awesome. What was it, a Lincoln??
Pat: It was a 1964 Imperial Crown. The Black Beauty...One bad ass ride!

Anti-Social

Anti-Social usually refers to Social Anxiety. It is a word that got a bad name due to the many psycho's and insane people committing crimes (see Anti-Social Personality Disorder). This is false, though. There are plenty of sane Anti-Social people in the world. Many are just SHY, and have poor social skills. They just do not know how to talk to people and express themselves or any emotions.

Being Anti-Social usually starts in early childhood. It can be the persons own choice, which means they are happy on their own. Or it can happen without it being under their control. Moving from place to place, not holding down any friendships, and of course living in a rural area can make a person unfamiliar around people. Another aspect can be negative incidents from the past that make a person have Social Anxiety.

Being Anti-Social and having Social Anxiety can be treated by Psychologists and many people can live a normal life. I have this disorder, and no I am not a creepy sociopath soley because I don't party everynight with 20 different people. The world thinks we are freaks, but we are NOT.

Jeep Cherokee

Introduced in 1974 as a full sized V8 suv. It shared the same body style with the Wagoneer, but was less expensive and aimed more to young buyers. The most popular were 2 door models that competed with the Ford Bronco and Chevy Blazer, but a 4 door version was produced.

In 1984 the Cherokee was downsized to a boxier design that would become the birth of the small 4 door SUV. 2 Door models were still produced but lost popularity in the 90's. The Cherokee continued on it's 1984 design until 2001, making it one of the longest produced designs in history. It was only given one face lift in 1997, rounding off the front to make it more 90's looking. In 2002 it was replaced by the all new Jeep Liberty.

Throughout the '84-'01 time span, the Cherokee was offered in many different trims, some which are rare to this day. Chief, Laredo, Pioneer, Limited, Country, Sport, Classic, etc are some examples. Engines were all AMC, even after Chryslers take over of the company in '87. The most popular engine offered was the 4.0 I6, one the best engines ever.

Today Jeep Cherokees are still popular with all sorts of people. From soccer-moms to off roaders, it's an SUV that won't die.

Jeep Cherokee Chiefs are very rare today, as is the Cherokee "Briarwood" which was produced only in '91 and '92.
