My Charger's Coat of Arms

  • The purple eight ball against the black field is for my Plum Crazy SRT8.
  • The red trim around the shield represents the interior stitching of the SRT cars.
  • The inverted pentastar shield and the blue ribbon color represent our Mopar heritage.
  • The crossed wrenches are for the engineers, production workers, and mechanics that make the HEMI engines that power our Chargers.
  • The ribbon says "Detroit" because we are the world's Motor City.
  • The Top Dog represents just that, being Top Dog.

Happy Easter!
