Nice.
Talked to friend.. She definitely paid a female driver tax. So she picked up screws in two tires, each at different times over the last month. Both times she went to get the tire replaced, the shop convinced her that she had to replace both fronts at the same time, or both rears at the same time wherever the screw was. First time she paid $600 for two of the "best" tires they had, second time she didn't want to spend as much so she paid $400 for a pair of the "second best".. Poor womenz.

I had a guy tell me the last time i was there "they can put you at fault for an accident if your tires are too low"
(maybe in the rain)

Good looking car. You guys have parking lines for parallel spots? it's a free for all up here now that they took the meters out and have pay kiosks instead.
Man I'd love a 300 for the city. Torquey NA V8 with no overheating bs, smooth transmission, and smooth suspension. They're just yuuuuuge.

Down here there are only lines for parallel spots if there are meters. If it's a normal free for all street there are no lines.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 12:24 pmGood looking car.

Honestly... and this is coming from someone who is a bit of a power whore... but the V6 is fine. The car feels very balanced.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 12:24 pmGood looking car.

The only time I truly "miss" power is from 1400-1900rpm on the freeway, it doesn't have "that" much low end. And the transmission is geared towards low rpm.
It runs on donkey piss and I averaged 25mpg on it... However this engine sounds like garbage which is the biggest downside of this car, something like a blend of 200k mile Uhaul + wheesy minivan.

I honestly think that a Challenger Hellcat is the perfect car.
Blazing fast. Comfortable over garbage roads. Nice interior. I legit want a
It's just an embarrassing badge. Which will probably knock it out of contention here. You can get a Merc for the same price. You're an idiot not to.

Dang even regular pack Challys have come down in price like whoa. I remember when you couldn't get a discount on these because they were so hot.

Orange, cloth seats, 8AT, poverty radio but it's less than I paid for my car and that's before haggling. Man that is tempting af.

Challys with cloth interior are AF but I love this chassis A LOT... Outside of the steering rack ratio they are the perfect barges for DD use.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:32 am Dang even regular pack Challys have come down in price like whoa.
