Several bills introduced in Minnesota in 2018 failed to be approved by the legislature prior to the adjournment of the session. However, the bills are eligible for consideration in the 2019 session.

This includes a bill to allow certain decommissioned military vehicles to be registered as regular motor vehicles and not as “collector military vehicles.” Currently, all military vehicles must be registered as “collector military vehicles.” 

The bill failed to pass out of the House Transportation Committee. House and Senate bills to appropriate $200,000 for statewide planning and development of off-road vehicle trails also died when the bills did not receive committee consideration.

This is the ’19 Dodge Charger Scat Pack completely undisguised.

Last month, Dodge teased the new Charger SRT Hellcat. Now we’re seeing a Scat Pack-equipped model with the same modified grille intake that was earlier teased. Dodge is expected to give the Charger one more refresh before a redesigned version appears early next decade.

Power may be modified a little and there could be minor tech additions, but don’t expect too many other changes for the elderly model. The ’19 Chargers should appear later this year.
