    Other vehicles you should hate, but ending up kind of liking?

    I'm not married, but if she bought a Prius I really wouldn't be married.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I'm determined to drive mine before it gets too late. If for no other reason, to put some fresh gas in it.

    Where will we all be

    As long as I can hang onto my drivers license, the 'Cat stays. I've had many cars I really, really liked, but the Challenger is special in several ways.

    Other vehicles you should hate, but ending up kind of liking?

    Of all things, the TRX. Keep in mind that I don't like 1/2-tons and don't care for how the new ones look, but... After trailering my girlfriend's home and looking at the hardware underneath I was very impressed. A-arms and such looked like they belonged on a 3/4 or 1-ton. Everything was much...

    Order up some magnetic level plugs (I have been using Votex from Amazon) so you can put them in when checking the levels and/or changing the fluid. Oh, and on the positive side, my '23 Durango 6.2 was the only vehicle out of quite a few over the years that actually had correct fluid levels as...

    I'm pretty sure that the 6-month rule is aimed primarily at people that don't take their car to the track. Those owners are most likely aware of that the oil can take a beating from hard use. In contrast, the owners who drive a few miles to a car show once a week, maybe cold start the car at...

    My reason for the early (generally at 500-1,000 miles) fluid changes is to get the break-in crap out of there. Most all vehicles have somewhat dismal oil analysis results on their first oil, and the magnetic plugs can pick up quite a bit of ferrous particles in the beginning. Dealers don't...

    Anyone know of anyone that's bought a Hornet? Or have you seen one in the wild?

    Two problems. They haven't produced enough of them to cover a day's worth of border crossers. Secondly, he has no idea how to exit a stage, except the wrong way.

    DDSRT - Random Questions

    These days the engine probably doesn't need much cuddling, but there are parts behind it that could use some. You only get one chance at breaking in the gears correctly and judging by the somewhat common complaints about noisy diffs, few people do that correctly (not even taking into account...

    Anyone know of anyone that's bought a Hornet? Or have you seen one in the wild?

    Well, I kinda was. Bought a heavily optioned (all but a sunroof) used Durango after the Hornets came out. Yes, it has over 90,000 miles on it, but cost less than a new (discounted) Hornet and will likely last longer. Plus, not being seen in a Hornet is priceless.

    Anyone know of anyone that's bought a Hornet? Or have you seen one in the wild?

    A couple of months ago I came across a dealer that was selling V6 Challengers for $21K, and an extra $1,500 for the AWD version. I didn't buy one of those, so why on earth would I be interested in a homely Hornet??

    POST PICTURES OF YOUR DURANGO

    Look at the build sheet. A window sticker can't list everything, and things like that are usually part of a package.

    Maybe I Should Invest In a Dash Cam

    I'd have to disable the GPS feature. If something happens I sure wouldn't want anyone to be able to see the speeds before the event.

    Of course not. It's hot there, so they built it at night.

    Brakes on 2018 Charger Hellcat

    Haven't got around to check it, but it feels like there's a little bit of toe-out, based on how the car reacts at turn-in.

    Brakes on 2018 Charger Hellcat

    Not many miles (unfortunately), there's only around 6K on them. They're timed out I think, being from '18. But I'm impressed that the shoulders on the front still look very good. They've taken some abuse.

    Brakes on 2018 Charger Hellcat

    I dunno. Still on my first set, which will be replaced in the spring because they're getting old.

    Brakes on 2018 Charger Hellcat

    Meh. I don't really use my brakes, so no need to make them as effective as possible.

    Brakes on 2018 Charger Hellcat

    I think he is the original owner. And buying a multi-door, also slightly warped.

    And on the news they said that the media claims that the market is down.
