MJS73 beat me to it. It's easy to claim a certain range, but then there's real life. In theory we could use an EV with a (claimed) range of 350 miles to make a Costco trip. In reality we'd never make it back home, partially due to speed, and also because of having to deal with altitude changes...

DavidKFla doesn't like it because it's not a multi-door.

And here I was about to compliment you on the nice eulogy you had for the Challenger (and Charger) on the news this morning. Guess I won't. Instead, now I hope you get a Hornet as a company car.

I can kinda live with that. What I really don't care for is when any kind of (especially yellow) machinery is referred to as a "bulldozer". In real life it's obvious that it's actually a backhoe, wheel loader, or something else. But in all fairness, some news reports no longer calls a tractor...

And here I've been considering getting a spare Challenger for a while now. On top of that, I just sold the AWD Challenger and miss it quite a bit. On the positive side, I still haven't wrecked the '18 (oddly enough), and I'm out of money. But it's still very tempting, damn it. We already have...

I see that I have one huge advantage here, not driving my Challenger daily. Heck, I think I managed 200 miles on it last summer - which is basically driving it once. And I have to admit that the Challenger GT I had a for a while drove better. Partly because of being some 500 lbs. lighter, and...

Depends of you you define functionality, I suppose. My Challenger makes me happy just looking at it, and obviously even more so when driving it. That would not be the case with a Charger. Okay, driving one may not be all bad, since then I couldn't see what it looks like. Top speed? Almost...

There, I fixed it for you, Eric. If I lived in some city, the weather would be the least of my worries. It wouldn't matter to me if the stoplights/pavement/shopping malls/houses were hot or cold, wet or dry.

Did you forget that Chargers used to be attractive? Especially around 1969.

Can't blame Eric for this one, but it cracks me up when National Weather Service has "Less than a 1/4-inch of rain possible" in the forecast. That should cover any place on the planet, and at any time, I would think.

He could find out. Eric has access to national weather service, just like we do.

It's mostly state border jumpers, demon. You wouldn't believe the amount of Texas license plates you'd see up here. Not that I can blame them. Who wouldn't want to get away from heat, humidity, traffic, alligators, etc.

Kind of a long story. Basically, the girlfriend thought about buying one. The dealer offered peanuts for her gas 6x4, then added that they had just paid only $1,600 (or something like that) for an electric trade-in. Okay, I'll buy it, I said. The dealer, now sensing selling a new one, too, sold...

It's still fun going fast, especially since the roads aren't overly straight, but you're right. Just sitting there at 120 (on the straighter sections) or so does get old at times. But, I generally catch one or two per 50 miles, and then get to listen to the glorious exhaust as I floor it. And...

Speaking of, I'm thinking about selling my JD eGator. Pros: It has no doors, is quiet, and great to shoot sod poodles from. Cons: It's an EV.

That doesn't really apply to me. If I start a vehicle, it'll be driven at least 20 miles, or whatever it takes to get the oil warm. Although, with smaller and lesser vehicles I do indeed make a fair amount of 1/4 mile trips. Taking the trash out to the road, for example. But then it's at 4-6...

Thin air = better mileage and higher top speed. What's there not to like?

I believe BULL meant altitude, not attitude.

Oh, there are more tires, but not in the size you want.

For now (and winter isn't all that far away) I have four low mileage Pilot Sport AS4s left over from my girlfriend's Trackhawk. Reasonably priced. Unless I decide to put them on my Challenger. And if this winter looks like it'll be a real winter (and you if anybody should know), I also have a...
