Nooo... Don't you have something else you could sell?

Yep, the maintenance has become a bit overwhelming. It's one thing to deal with machinery that wants an oil change every 400 or 500 hours, compared to cars that insist on an oil change because a year has passed (Audi with 800 miles on it). During a typical summer I fill a 55 gallon drum with...

Okay, but in my mind it makes more sense to drive vehicles that I want to drive, like the Challengers and the 1500. And it's not only that I like to drive them, they kinda need to be driven every now and then. At this point the Durango has been sitting in the garage for three weeks, while...

And why does that not surprise me? You just want me to go out and begin the dreadful break-in driving instead of being able to drive 100+ in something else, don't you?

It's still at 18, just like when I picked it up. And best I can tell, that's where it'll stay for the foreseeable future. I have no reason to drive it, so I haven't. If that makes any sense.

I suppose I could explain the situation a bit better. When the '23s became available to order, I figured that it would be un-American not to get one of the last 6.2s. That was in late November. Then it was uncertain if the order would actually go through, so I prepared myself for not getting a...

It could be an early prototype of the upcoming offerings from Dodge, going from 710 to 49.1 hp. If so, it would really boost their Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) ratings.

I think you did the right thing. The Challenger would be one of the last vehicles I'd get rid of. It's my favorite car.

You're not alone. Got insurance on the Durango today, and it was $74.01 per month. Not the $50 or so I had expected.

Maybe it's worth pointing out that not only is this the lowest mileage entry, it is also by far the least powerful. Ever. With a listed shipping weight of 5,489 lbs. it's quite heavy, and the 49.1 hp makes that a dismal 111.8 lbs./hp. Realistically, that means HFCOTM is the only thing it could...

Hmm, that's only 974 lbs. for the passengers and their luggage, not even counting the driver. I thought taxis needed more weight carrying capacity than that.

That's a good question, BULL. After having gone through it, fixed a few minor things, and getting more familiar with it, it has grown on me. But... Without screwing the dealer I can't really sell it until it's paid off, and that can't happen until the end of November. So for now the question...

But a Charger/taxi should be weighed with passengers, right? And their luggage, maybe?

Easy for you to say, Eric. I'm still trying to get to 300 break-in miles on the GT AWD, and have had that one for a couple three months.

Public service announcement: I can't sell this car quite yet. At least not before the end of the month, or it wouldn't be eligible to win Hellcat of the month. If nothing else, it's a good excuse not to sell it for a while. Also, once the strike begins it'll be worth even more.

Blue balls matter.

Could be proof of that blue cars are built with heavier matter.

Blue cars matter.

Jealousy will get you nowhere, gator boy.

With twice as many doors that might be unlocked, why not? Plus not many give a taxi a second glance in traffic.
