‘Dukes’ Falls as Short as those Hotpants
The film remake of “The Dukes of Hazzard,” starring Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville and Sean William Scott, was released today, to terrible reviews.
CNN’s Headline: “Dukes of Hazzard is Roadkill.”
People’s Leah Rozen: “[The Dukes of Hazzard…

You couldn’t pay me enough money. I loved the original show, but I was also a toddler. Back then I also liked occasionally pissing my pants. Times and interests change.
And Jessica Simpson is bloody awful.
Ok well no one has checked it so far (who has posted and wants to admit to it), but enough people are watching the movie (number 1 last weekend) that there is a “Dukes” effect for the 2006 Charger.
I, personally, want a classic orange charger.

The original Charger is awesome, but what i loved was how they got into it, jumping feet first through the window, i’ve seen one of my brothers friend do that with his shitty old corrola, funny shit.
The old Charger is nice… but nothing beats a ‘70 Chevelle SS 464

OMG my dad so had that car. It was blue with black racing stripes, and the interior was all black leather.
Who am I kidding - I want a Viper.

Just don’t burn yourself on the side exhaust pipes as you climb out of it…
thats the old school viper, they are even more sexy now.
The old Viper? No it’s not just the old Viper, because as you can see, the pipes still exit on the sides of the new model. However, the pipes have been redesigned since ealier models. They now have a “cover” on them and also, “… the system has been redesigned to let the exhaust gases of all ten cylinders commingle via a crossover pipe before exiting on either side of the car.” So basically, it doesn’t get “as hot” as it used to… but there is still the possibility. Don’t worry, it still made my top5 list a few months back.
Hot rules - and just to clarify - that was me posting under Beauty’s account by “accident”. I do love Vipers. Beauty less so.
