Alright, drag racer, it's time. You'd be the owner of the lowest priced Durango Hellcat Plus ever. But don't procrastinate. I don't want to haul it when there's salt on the roads.

Why not? The tricky part is to get the oil up to temp when it's cold out I've noticed. At least on the open road. This is where stop and go traffic seems to help, but we don't have any of that. Thankfully.

No, sure don't. Cars you put things in. Like a Challenger or Durango, railroad cars, etc. Just like vans. Trucks you put things on. That's why they come with a bed of some sort, or just a little shelf, like a hand truck (aka dolly). Not that those simple facts keep the authorities from wanting...

Umm, does the Durango come with a pickup bed now?? If not, they're both cars.

It wouldn't surprise me if an older air cooled 911 would beat a Hellcat through an intersection. Especially if it's cold.

That it is. Don't know about this one yet (not broken in) but the '21 I had took the curves better than the 'Cat, I think. Being less nose heavy probably helps, but it could also be that I would feel a lot less bad about wrapping the GT AWD around a tree, or tumbling down a 300-foot slope, and...

No, I wish. Stayed at the homestead since I could hear that the road was wet (and probably salted). They tend to do our road somewhat late, understandably prioritizing the main roads. Next time we get a decent snowfall I'll definitely be out there going as sideways as possible.

Would you believe that gas stations are also somewhat few and far in between here? This is an alligator free zone, remember?

I dunno. There aren't any EVs around here. Much like with E85.

I'm sure glad mine runs on normal gas. Otherwise I'd have to tow a trailer with a tank of E85 around if wanting to go somewhere.

Okay, so it's not a Hellcat, and it was yesterday. Took the "little Challenger" for a test drive in snow. First something in the rear was leaving tracks, then the entire undercarriage, but it kept going...on OE summer performance tires. I'm impressed. As the splitter shows, it was about eight...

Picked up a Ram 3500 (Cummins, Aisin, air suspension, etc.) earlier this week. It was 10% off the sticker. Plus, they paid a couple of hundred more for the traded in '19 3500 gasser than we'd paid for it. Although, it was really the free 43" Toshiba TV that made it a good deal.

I peeled some of the tread off on a couple of the eight drive tires on my Pete after it had been sitting for a while in humid SoCal. Plenty of torque to overcome the stuck brake shoes, apparently. Can't really not set the parking brake on those things. Either do it when stopping, or they'll...

Apparently. Or they wouldn't steal crew cab cars.

Look at the positive side of it, DavidKFla. Those kids are helping beautify the USA, one stolen taxi at a time.

It's interesting that the Charger shows up so often. Is Uber a crime syndicate of some sort?

Desperation. Why else would anyone want to steal a KIA or Hyundai?

Took a quick peak and it looks like the air springs and mounts can be had for $330 (-20%, today anyway). Also, there seems to be more or less complete kits ranging from a bit under $1,000 to almost $3000.

I'm not surprised. It's not exactly their market. When needing air springs for something I generally peruse what Firestone has to offer. Their web site has hundreds of springs to pick from, so it's really only a matter of finding the ones that have the correct measurements and load carrying...

I dunno, "...all the extra forces..." are no different than when grabbing the handles of a wheelbarrow, really. And once adjusted, it's two levers to pull to tension or remove the spring bars. Not a lot of work for much added safety (handling and braking, mainly.
