"Talking Cars On a Tuesday - I’m in love with a Hemi"


  

          

Did that DC to Pittsburgh drive and I try not to scoot around in our cars for long distance. Since it was anniversary weekend I rented a charger.

Oh
Em
Gee

It hit every hill and incline and mountain like a salmon upstream
It purred in idle
It growled on acceleration
It blew cold kisses on my back when the leather was too hot
Hugged me with an amazing sound system that caught every note

I’m legit sitting here wondering how I can engine swap that into my scion.

I’m a fool in love.

I hesitate to give you any real advice on the Durango.. I'm sure they are a solid competitor in their class but beyond that I got nothing.

the ability to damn near throw the car forward, no matter what speed you're already going. Mopar is really bodying the American muscle car scene, right now. I mean...I know, I know...Corvette. Still, though.

Chrysler is getting more life out of that chassis they co-opted from Mercedes that Aston did with their VH platform.

Still, from a looks perspective, I like it better than the Camaro or Mustang (which pains me to say being from a Blue Oval family). As a Hot Wheels car come to life, it works perfectly.

While I would love to see some platform development with the Challenger, I have to give them credit for embracing what the car was (big, comfy cruiser/stop light bandit) and just built on it

durango is the newest at 2011

charger sure looks like a 14yr old platform

challenger is still nice, like you said, still prefer it to current camaros and mustangs.

For looks, it wins. If I had the option of choosing one of the 3 as a rental, I'll take the Challenger. But to own? I'd take the Mustang

i grew up a dodge fan, hardcore. closest thing ive owned to a chrysler though was a 92 eclipse.

funny how when its time to put up money most people get sensible.

ive never been huge on mustangs, the only ones i love are the original convertibles.

the gas mileage ain't as good as it use to be and that I can't get the navigation to work on the entune app. then the audio won't display the covers on my music. they said it's a new law that cover art will only be displayed when the car is in park, which presents a problem when I try to find a song on my ipod. I use to be able to know what I was playing by the art work with a quick glance, now I gotta look at the artist name AND album in the little tiny tag t see what song is up.

say if I'm sitting at a light, I hit the gas. it hits me with the hesi, then takes off. also happens if I punch it to get into traffic, between 60-80.

feels like its not getting fuel properly. or am I off base?

2006 pathfinder v6 with 220k on it. I hate to give it up but I'd also won't put a ton of money into it either. its only worth a grand at this point.

always lean toward fuel, though. Check engine light on?

Have to admit I had a thing for the 1st gen Diamante back in the day. The last one they released looked too much like a bloated Galant, which was too much a sad Camry knockoff and nowhere near as good. My father in law has owned 2 of them (Galants, that is)
