Celebrities That Are Proud to Drive Dodge
Just like regular people, celebrities love cars. There is another section of celebrities that have a love for a certain type of car that puts them in a class all of their own. Check out the stars that prefer piloting products from the house of Dodge.
1. Jim Jefferies - 2011 Challenger SRT8
Star of the FX show "Legit" comedian Jim Jefferies drives a 2011 Challenger SRT8 on the show as well as in real life. The car is his first car ever and he is amused at the orange paint job on the car since it evokes memories of a certain iconic southern car: "It's orange, like Dukes of Hazard orange. I love, love the look of the car." He loves the car's styling but on a scale of 1-10 gives the engine a 9. It's not a power issue that keeps him from giving the car a perfect 10 but the fact that all that power causes him to go through fuel a bit too fast for his taste. Fuel economy aside Jefferies states that he would never dream of getting rid of his hot rod, stating, "I really enjoy a good muscle car. I love them."

Patrick went out and bought himself a 707 horsepower 2015 SRT Hellcat to get around town with a crescendo of rumbling exhaust and burning rubber. The actor remarked, "I'm 56 years old, I've had hot rods my whole life, and I finally have the ultimate Detroit muscle car."

3. John Teller - 2001 Ram 2500
Olympic hopeful John Teller says he always wanted a diesel truck and loves his Ram pickup as a daily driver. The Ram is the perfect vehicle for Teller since he's an outdoorsman who is in the elements constantly for his training. Teller, who was ranked 25th in the world, says the Ram has been the perfect ride for all of his road trips to Park City, Utah where the U.S Ski Team was based and to Telluride, Colorado where they often train. In his time away from training Teller is an auto mechanic and remarks the truck shows its usefulness there also by pulling stranded cars out of places and hauling useful things to and fro. This is Teller's second vehicle, as his first was a 1995 Ram 1500 that he used to just get him around town.

7. Dee Snider - 2014 Demon Challenger SRT8
Lead singer of the Rock group Twisted Sister Dee Snider was a self-proclaimed Ford enthusiast...until he bought a Viper. Ever since that fateful purchase, he switched allegiance to Dodge and has never looked back. When he bought a 2014 Challenger (his second one) he started heavily modifying it along with his local dealership, Port Jeff Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Snider bestowed the name of Demon Challenger upon his new plum muscle car as a nod to the Dart Demon he loved as a child. Keeping with the theme of the Demon Dart the car is a dealer-offered hot rod with the double hood scoops, striping, cold air intake, Corsa exhaust, and six-speed Hurst shifter.
