    Stellantis Dominates the Top Ten Slowest Selling Vehicle List

    To the Bug, or the taxis? They did a major styling change to the Charger, but I much prefer the original. The less tech the better, no matter what vehicle, and fixing up suspensions is easy to do after the fact.

    Stellantis Dominates the Top Ten Slowest Selling Vehicle List

    Yeah, but that was before people were complaining about "not different enough from last years model" and "the tech is so outdated (in a three year old model)". But that's just me, a slob who wouldn't have minded if they kept making the Challenger, unchanged, for another 25 years.

    Aren't they hybrids? If so they should catch fire by themselves at some point.

    Oil change

    My dealer (the owner) also doesn't see a need for it. He knows how I take care of my vehicles. He also knows that other than for a blown up engine, possibly a transmission, I wouldn't want any kind of warranty work anyway. Give me the parts and let me install them. I just don't want to subject...

    Oil change

    Yes, it says in the owners manual, but that doesn't make the 6-month rule any less dumb. I have also been known not to always obey the speed limit. Put the car away with fresh oil, then dump that zero mile oil in the spring? That only makes (some) sense if someone cold starts the engine every...

    Oil change

    That's what I normally do, but somehow the oil didn't get changed in either one before last winter's hibernation. Even though it wasn't on purpose, it was not surprising to see the lab results come out good after two years. Depending on the mileage, I may go to every other year instead of once...

    Oil change

    Too late now, but it's better to change the oil before storing the car. Either way, oil analysis for two 'Cats after two low mileage years (about 500-600 total each) showed that the oil in both was still perfectly good. For at least another 3,000 miles. Of course, both of them are always...

    1 of 29 Narrow bodies

    Well, that makes some sense. A Charger is 0.7 inches narrower than a Challenger, so if there was such a thing as a narrow body, it'd be a Charger.

    She should, and I should. Barely over 1,000 miles added between them in two years.

    I think Motortrend has a few things wrong (which isn't unusual). We have a '19 Redeye, and as I recall it was far from silently unleashed. Also, there's more to the Redeye than the little dot in the eyes. And plainly visible. Actually, it's kinda hard not to notice the dual snorkel hood.

    What if there's a loan on it??

    My girlfriend didn't know she could get one, or she might very well have ordered a stick shift. Yes, she prefers manuals and think they're great, but she's weird. After all, she's with me.

    About the only way to be really sure is if it's on the internet.

    1 of 29 Narrow bodies

    In all fairness, there isn't a widebody, either. Just a regular Challenger with dually fenders tacked on.

    Trackhawks Aint Roll Racers.....

    After getting 500+ miles on the odo I wanted to do a 60-120 and let the Trackhawk do its thing. There was a section of suitable straight road, but being used to the Challenger I severely underestimated what the extra weight would result in. Can't help but wonder what the guy in the approaching...

    Airing up a beadlock

    No, I've only tried beadlocks once, and that was to prevent air loss when 'wheeling. Found that it's usually the inner bead that lets go first anyway, so I pursued other ways to be able to run at between 1 and 5 psi. Regardless, it doesn't make soapy water good for mounting tires. Better than...

    Airing up a beadlock

    I know that a lot of people do, and that the water dries. The issue is that the soap portion doesn't disappear. Are you also into jumping off of bridges if others do?

    Airing up a beadlock

    It's more than a little ironic to see the use of WD-40 and soapy water mentioned when the goal is to keep the tire from moving on the wheel. But at least the soapy water isn't a petroleum product, so the tire doesn't care. There are products made specifically to lube the tire beads with, and...
