Ah, yet another reason not to get the dually fenders,

I think "Mediocre Output" might be better yet.

I'm actually trying to get mine rained on. The ones in the garage gets a bit dusty, and stay that way, while those that get rain and snow on them look like they came from the detailer. The difference must be that our rain and snow is clean. Whatever snow piles that remain in the spring, in...

But why?? You're getting a free car wash, with water that doesn't leave any spots. Isn't that perfect?

I'm trying to avoid float, Jack. That's why I'm looking at what's out there in narrower wheels. A 265/50R20 on an 8-9" wide wheel, for example, would be within 0.3 % in revs per mile, using nominal sizing numbers. Thankfully I have many weeks to dig something up...if it's even needed.

I may even go narrower than that, especially in the front. We'll see. It's too bad that they don't share the bolt pattern with the Challenger, in which case I would've already had a set of wheels to use. Two sets, come to think of it.

I have already thought about getting some skinnier wheels and winter tires for it. Not sure what the factory tires are, other than supposedly an all-season. They may be good (doubt it), indifferent, or plain bad. Time will tell. Oh, and if I no longer post a few months from now (after the car...

Thanks, Hellcatcfp. I originally thought white, but getting kinda tired of that color. Also, all those black aggressive looking openings on the front are really obvious with lighter colors. Decided on "Velvet Red", which is a darker metallic, hopefully similar to what my 2001 Cherokee XJ had...

Wait a minute! You have "700+" hp instead of 707? Well, I suppose that could be a good thing, if it's 730 instead of 701.

I've put up with her for far too long to give up now. Sorry.

Not sure if it was a smart move, but I ordered a Trackhawk this week. It'll obviously be superior to the Hellcat when it's wet, snowy, or icy, but the wide tires will not be ideal in slush. The idea is to cocoon the Ram 1500, which has been my all-weather car for five years now, and enjoy some...

I don't even drive mine when it's cold out. With the tires that are on it, it's a handful in the snow. Besides, I don't want any salt crap on it.

Yeah, my Peterbilt may only have 425 hp, but there's quite a bit of torque. And then there are maybe 10 other diesels... Not to diminish the horsepower totals of three 6.2s, a few Porsches and such, but then the number of vehicles counted becomes ridiculous. And many of them belong to my...

Hmm. Now you made me wonder if my A/C works. Can't recall ever turning it on.

I don't mind remote start...as long as it only works when I'm in the vehicle, so I can hear, feel and smell, that everything's like it should be at the startup.

If we start adding up torque numbers, I may have a fighting chance.

Did the final oil change for the year, before hibernation time. Which was the opportune moment to also install the cover plate kit for the oil cooler drain.

Not that I had any notifications, but when taking the Challenger out for its last trip of the year yesterday, I wanted to get the oil temp to show on the screen. After all, the whole idea was to get the oil warm and then change it. For whatever reason, the performance pages wouldn't load. I'm...

Can't say much about my Trackhawk yet. Just ordered it. Now I can only hope that it won't be built on January 2, and that it won't take over four months to make it from the factory to the dealer (like the Redeye did).

Yep, I'm finding quite a few new '18s still for sale out there. Oddly enough, the asking prices aren't all that much lower than for '19s...which aren't much less than ordering a new one. So far in my search it has been hard to find one without the things I don't want (primarily the sunroof) so...
