Speaking of foreign cars, my best sleeper was an MGB that looked completely stock, except for tires and wheels. It had been on a diet, so with a 310 hp aluminum V8 moving 2,000 lbs. it ran really well. But while its power to weight ratio was better than that of my girlfriend's 911 Turbo S...

I wish. For whatever reason, my 'Cat has been quite loud since day one. I like the sound, but it's not exactly stealthy. My girlfriend's Redeye is much quieter, and the 'Hawk is very sedate...until you step on it. Of the three, the 'Hawk is definitely the best sleeper. A chubby little taxi...

They're just as red when sitting on a shelf in the garage. Really. And the car is still every bit as quick.

They won't hear anything out of the ordinary until I'm already half a car length past them. And by then it's too late. Besides, most poseurs have the stereo on, and loudly, so until I step on it they may think it's a V6. And that's exactly how I like it.

A tad slower than the already porky Trackhawk is my guess.

I hope it's not the case, but it could be that it hasn't made it to the body vendor yet. On the other hand, our severely delayed '19 never made it to a body vendor, but had chassis damage. Which could've gone unnoticed.

I know that I could call my favorite dealer, order one, and get it for about invoice. If wandering onto a dealer lot and looking at existing inventory, anything is possible I suppose.

And that's what makes them so appealing to me. After a debadging, even most of those who do have a clue can mistake them for a lame version.

Okay, there are indeed options that don't add any weight. Delete options would fall in that category. When ordering my Ram 3500, for example, I opted for no third brake light. And did not order TPMS. Does that make a noticeable difference on a vehicle that weighs close to 9,500 lbs.? Nope. But...

I bought a Limited badge for my 'Hawk, to replace the Trackhawk badge. Of all the Jeeps I've had, and have, the 'Hawk is by far the most limited. Lots of sport, not much utility.

Limited 1500? That should be in the dictionary as the definition of redundancy.

Not even her?

I will have to test that theory. Trust me, I have all kinds of crap laying around that I could have visible in the background. Now, my crap is nowhere near as nice as ChargerChallenger's cars, but with some luck it could be seen as artsy.

I thought we were supposed to not worry about the backgrounds, because it's about the car not the photo.

I haven't removed that dead weight from my 'Hawk yet, so I don't know.

Think about how many apparently manage to curb their wheels on a low car. Now imagine them in a taller pickup and the matching spare wheel makes sense. Then again, ""Matching spare wheel" may only meant that it's the same diameter.

Oh I did, but didn't want to get too deep into the subject of slush boxes...so to speak.

Speaking of dinner, I'm about to have mine so please carry on in my temporary absence.

Ah, the driveshaft wore out from being rubbed against the ground, between the weight of the extra doors and obese passengers?

Did the meter stop running, or why the sale?
