Wireless Mouse - Dodge Charger PoliceReviewsI bought the Dodge Charger Police mouse. I've had for about a month, Im on my third set of batteries already & I dont use the headlights at all, the switch is off. My BIGGEST problem with this mouse is I cant leave it plugged into the USB port because my computer constantly turns on. So whenever Im done using the computer I have to shut it down & unplug the mouse, then when I turn the computer on I have to reinstall the mouse. I dont think this mouse is worth the money & Im buying a regular wireless mouse from walmart cuz this one is a pain! I received my order for my wireless mouse. I ordered a Camaro Highway Patrol made by Road Mice. It is very simple to install. Add batteries and insert into an available UBS port. That's it! It really took longer to remove this product from the plastic sealing wrapper that so many products are packaged in today. Using it is on my computer is soo so easy. If there is a negative , it is the ergomatic design . If you are at computer for any really long periods of time your hand becomes numb. I like my new toy, I may order a different design down the road. They have several models and color schemes to choose from Road Mice provides car enthusiasts with the option of upgrading the mundane with an attention grabbing laser ride. With the available lights on or off, every time you point a click the mouse makes work much more enjoyable. The quality of the mouse is outstanding, and the ergonomics feel natural for medium to large hands. A must for the brother, father, son or man in your life. Batteries have a very short life span in this mouse. The last time I changed batteries the battery terminals fell down inside the mouse. I had to send it back for replacement. Average Rating: |

Wireless Mouse - Dodge Charger BlackReviewsNot a bad toy if you're into cars. I use it on my MAC and it's not bad at all, but the batteries don't last more then one month. It's pretty sensitive and I use it professionally for Photoshop. Makes a great gift for the fans of Dodge Charger. Feels comfortable after one day's use. If not for the batteries, I would say it's great. Well worth the money. I would definitely recommend. Average Rating: |

(1970-1974)
The Challenger is described in a book about 1960s American cars as Dodge’s "answer to the Mustang and Camaro." It was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. "Both the Challenger and Barracuda were available in a staggering number of trim and option levels" and were intended "to compete against cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and to do it while offering virtually every engine in Chrysler's inventory." However they were "a rather late response to the ponycar wave the Ford Mustang had started." The author of a book about "Hemi"-powered muscle cars says that the Challenger was conceived in the late 1960s as Dodge’s equivalent of the Plymouth Barracuda, and that the Barracuda was designed to compete against the Mustang and Camaro. He adds that Chrysler intended the new Dodge as "the most potent ponycar ever," and positioned it "to compete against the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird." Similarly, the author of a book about the Chrysler pony-cars notes that "the Barracuda was intended to compete in the marketplace with the Mustang and Camaro/Firebird, while the Dodge was to be positioned against the Cougar" and other more luxury-type musclecars.
The Challenger's longer wheelbase, larger dimensions and more luxurious interior were prompted by the launch of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, likewise a bigger, more luxurious and more expensive pony car aimed at affluent young American buyers. The wheelbase, at 110 inches (2,794 mm), was two inches longer than the Barracuda, and the Dodge differed substantially from the Plymouth in its outer sheetmetal, much as the Cougar differed from the shorter-wheelbase Ford Mustang.
Exterior design was done by Carl Cameron, who also did the exterior for the 1966 Dodge Charger. Cameron based the 1970 Challenger grille off an older sketch of his 1966 Charger prototype that was to have a turbine engine. The Charger never got the turbine, but the Challenger got that car's grille. Although the Challenger was well-received by the public (with 76,935 produced for the 1970 model year), it was criticized by the press, and the pony car segment was already declining by the time the Challenger arrived. Sales fell dramatically after 1970, and Challenger production ceased midway through the 1974 model year. About 165,500 Challengers were sold over this model's lifespan.
