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...

Wow! I think I saw 6,000 something made for '18 and thought that it was a low number. Guess if I order a '20 it could be a collectors item of sorts...one of 500 built, or something.

Matt, I have a bone to pick with you. This thread got me thinking about buying a car, and nothing wrong with that. Except now it's looking like I'll end up ordering a Trackhawk. And I wish it was only a 3rd car. I already have far too many. Please don't start any more threads like this.

I have almost recuperated after the last two ordering episodes, so not to get too comfortable again I'm considering ordering a Trackhawk. It should arrive by early spring, right?

Excellent choice on color, Pierre.

Ah, yes. I forgot about the Bentleys. While they uglyfied the new ones, the "old" ones look good, I think.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've been told "You need to come in and we can talk about it". My response is usually that it shouldn't matter if I drive 150 miles (one way) or not, the price should be what it is. Financing with the dealer wouldn't bother me, as long as there's no prepayment...

The driving season was already over (the first one should've made it in time, barely) so there was no rush anymore. Of course, the second one arrived very quickly, while I had hoped for a spring delivery.

Well, we weren't willing, either. When it became obvious that the car was "stranded", and the likelihood for damage (and numerous cold starts) was somewhat certain, we ordered a new one. Sure enough, when the first one eventually arrived it was damaged.

In the Rockies, so not exactly next door to the factory, but it could be farther, too. Actually, once it finally got on a train it went somewhat quickly. But for whatever reason, after it was built, it just kept getting moved between different yards for months.
