Resuscitation alert. The "new" multi-door ('23 Charger, aka Crew Cat) didn't start today. I wasn't surprised and had already asked the dealer to put a new battery in it before shipping it. Well, that didn't happen. It'd been on a solar charger for about 12 hours before today's starting...

Correct. Bone stock 3500s, a 4500, and now a 5500. He doesn't need any tunes, pulling no more than 35K or so. Never did ask what his trade-in values have been, but I'd guess in the $25K to $35K range.

True. A friend of mine got only around 330,000 miles out of one. Normally he trades in at about 450,000 without having had any issues.

With the Cummins powered Rams they solved it by using variable vanes. That works well, but doesn't sound as impressive as twin turbos. Then again, most claim that their Cummins has an intercooler, which sounds better than the charge air cooler it actually is. Somewhat like that there are now...

Because it sounds so good? Not the sound of the engine, but to be able to say "twin turbo", which must be twice as good.

Be careful. There might be an alligator at the other end of it.

I'm not that picky. I don't watch any You Tube if at all possible.

I suspect that some types of photos would be against forum policy.

I eat at the Y.

When looking for the Crew Cat I came across everything between $129k (40 over) and $10K below MSRP. It's a strange world out there, hopefully to start normalizing after the 20th.

Look up the revs/mile on your current tires, then find a size that matches within a percent or so. Same tire, tread, etc. as what's on the front. I wouldn't do it, for a number of reasons, even if there is a tire that meets all the criteria, and you find wheels with the correct offsets and...

Don't remember what car she was looking at buying, but my girlfriend wanted the stick shift version. You can have a manual when you learn to use one, I said. But I've been driving sticks all my life she responded. So my response was "Like I said, you can have one once you learn how to use it"...

When something is as thin as .05 mm it's easier to wrap it around your mind than to wrap your mind around it.

Maybe they already have?

I'm fairly sure that if all I did was to go to local car shows and for coffee, while obeying the 35 mph speed limits that cities tend to have, there wouldn't be many bugs on mine either.

Not to worry. I have "trained" the ravens to stay the hell away from my carport.

Yes and no, but it was mostly my own fault that I didn't. Obviously I knew that it wouldn't be as quick as the 'Cat since it weighed more, but after the break-in, the first 60-120 was a disappointment. Almost ran out of straight road - if you ask my passenger I did. Another thing was that it...

Oh, that was years ago. As I recall it was a '20 that turned into a used VW diesel wagon, which was traded in on a VW Sportwagen within three days, which became a '21 Challenger GT AWD, then a '22 Audi Q5, and now a '23 GT AWD. Hell, if I keep them too long they end up needing to be washed.

Mostly elk, deer, and coyote carcasses, is my guess.

Nope, couldn't if I wanted to. It's too cold for bugs to be out and about now. Plus, the gas tank is all but empty.
