It is a typical December morning and it is cold as hell. Pandavs cursed the day they came to Michigan. They never thought they would live to experience temparature of -25 degree centigrade! Actually Pandavs were tired of the uncomfortable, bumpy and slow moving raths, so wanted a new vehicle. It was Lord Krishna who told them that Michigan has a Dodge Challenger model that is just great. So with the hopes of owning a Dodge Challenger, Pandavs had set base in Michigan from early July.
Their journey was quite uneventful. They got business seats in direct New Delhi to New York flight courtesy of Pavanputra Hanuman. After roaming around in NYC for a couple of days, they finally arrived in Detroit. The Pittsburg avtaar of Lord Krishna were present for their welcome. All was hunky and dory till they realized that Challenger was currently out of production! Lord Krishna apologized for the outdated information and advised Pandavs to go back. But whole India knew about the Pandavs journey to the west, so it would have had been embarassing if they returned without the dream car. Plus they were on banvaas, so they decided to make something happen! And thus the journey began!!
Yudhishtir wrote a letter to Dr Z (Daimler Chrysler chairman). He explained how they loved the car and wanted to own one. Dr Z was thrilled to get a letter from Indian heroes and ordered his marketing team to check if Challenger could be brought back to production!! Things were on a roll. After great success in the Detroit Autoshow and good marked response it was decided that Challenger could indeed be produced again!! But it still wont be till late 2007 before it would come out. UAW (union) negotiations and loss in general were compounding the problems.
