In Part 1,
Welcome to Muscle Car
City, we met Denys da
Menace, a young New York City guy who does “donuts” and "burnouts"
in a souped-up Dodge Charger as part of the Brooklyn Hemi Boyz car
club. Then in Part 2,
We Are in the
Movie, we rode along in
what was supposed to be the biggest, loudest, craziest car meet of
the summer. Now Sarah, Doug, and Aaron are going to break it down
and talk about it. Why did muscle-car culture become so big during
the first two years of the pandemic? How do car club members afford
to keep their expensive hobby going? And why are we allowing
automakers to put these products on public streets while
encouraging young men to use them as dangerously as possible? In
Part 3, we’re Deconstructing Muscle Car City.
