It’s as much a part of the Fast and Furious franchise as any of the main characters, and has been in all but 2 of the 6 installments. It’s Dom’s 1970 Dodge Charger, and although it gets destroyed during each go-round, movie magic has proven that this old Dodge has more lives then any cat you’ve ever come to know and love. For the Fast and Furious 6, the Charger is once again, back. However this time it’s been reincarnated as a highly modified 1969 Dodge Daytona, the pinnacle of the Chargers evolution.

The thing about trends is that you never know just how long they’re going to last. Case-in-point; heavily patina’d cars with modern conveniences and drive-trains.

While some folks out there may find road rage amusing, I can assure you that there’s nothing funny about it. The following video shows us an irate Toyota Camry driver doing everything they can to cause an accident with a gray and red sports car. Now, unfortunately the driver of the striped car didn’t call the police, but that is exactly what should’ve be done in a situation such as this.
