not for a robot, use it for a Chairman's video. 1114's Video was inspired by a basketball video/commercial. Don't know what it is right now though

Our Chairman's video's voice-over was based on the Super Bowl XLVI Chrysler commercial with Clint Eastwood.

I'm always preaching to these kids that they don't truly realize the value of what is sitting right in front of them regarding FIRST and a hundred other things !!!!

Okay so getting back on point.. I was in high school and bought an old car for $ 400. Except for the tires it was all original equipment, hardly driven. White exterior. Black interior. Black ragtop. Less than 10 years old. Long story made short,,,, I kinda wasted the car.

It was a really nice 1964 1/2 Mustang. 260 engine, generator. A Mustang historian will tell you it was one of the first 38,000 Mustangs ever made. If I had that car to day the way I received it I'd send it to Barrett-Jackson.

Proof that I had to learn things the hard way... Just sayin !!

Re: Dodge Dart

This commercial is pretty true to life.
The Dart is the first car which is the product of our reformed Chrysler/Fiat combined company. The timing on this project required us to change most of the rules of how we develop vehicles: better, faster, leaner, etc.
It was like an 18 month FRC build season.
Lots of work, lots of fun, lots of caffine
Great results, Great car!
Already working on the next one.

Jim, It seems that with all the buzz about the DART on the forums that Chrysler/FIAT may have an opportunity to get some input on what the next generation of buyers may like to see in the next vehicle :-)

I know that I've thought about the Dart as a next car opportunity... Great work with this one, from a loyal Dodge Driver!

Re: Dodge Dart

One of the students in 1998 had a thing for the Dodge Dart.

Spent many an evening trying to keep that thing running.

Hope they fixed that horn issue where you leave the car in the sun and the horn blares till the contacts burn leaving you to come back finding the car on fire.

0:42 reminds me of Top Gear (UK). They have capsized about 10 reliant robins by now (and they dropped a piano on another).

Re: Dodge Dart

Flaming Monkeys of Boone County are in Belvidere, IL, where the Dart is being made.
We REALLY need Chrysler/Fiat to step up and sponsor them.
Any thoughts on how we could leverage our interest in their marketing to get them to help out their home-town team?

The car they dropped the piano on was the Morris Marina (multiple times). They have also set one on fire. They have however attempted to make a Reliant Robin into a space shuttle.

I'm pretty sure at one point I read an article where one of them explained that it actually took quite a lot of effort to get the cars to roll. At any rate, Robin tipping in the UK has become akin to cow tipping here in the States.

And the Reliant Robin Space Shuttle, in case you missed it.
