Oddly enough, me. They were something in their day.

Let's talk about The Dukes of Hazzard a bit. They trashed at least one 1969 Dodge Charger per show. The reported destruction of those cars were around 320 for the series run. Toward the end they stopped using cars and showed re-run footage instead because they could not find any more cars. What a shame.

Chrysler Imperials or Dodge Chargers destruction for a profit................sad, just sad.

Baby Shortee, I hate to see any classic destroyed. It's kind of like watching a living species going extinct.

ya, it sucks that they had to do that in the episode for mythbusters, but remember, they're not really blowing up those cars in the movies nowadays. they're usually just kits or rolling chassises getting blown sky high in the movies, not an actual car.
