Sorry, it still has the same 18 miles on it as when I picked it up. And it would have to be trailered to Florida, too. I just know it wouldn't go there voluntarily.

Umm, don't you have some other not so great weather attributes there? And that you can't see your neighbors could be because it's dark, and they're black?

Exactly why my cars aren't going to Florida. Aside from the risk of theft, I don't want them flooded, blown away by some hurricane, or gnawed on by alligators. If I wanted damage (hail) I'd go visit BULL. At least there the climate would be tolerable and the scenery nice.

That's what grooving irons are for.

Okay, here are some numbers for you, as listed on the registrations/titles. GT AWD: 4,088, with the optional spare tire. 'Cat: 4.353, with the dumb stereo where the spare should be. Redeye: 4.357, w/o anything extra in the trunk. All three are very similarly optioned, except as noted above...

Unless they get infected.

Keep in mind, DGatzby, that first I'll have to drive a long ways to get to a city block. But with a modest 49.1 hp it should get decent mileage.

I realize that you want your car to resemble a taxi, but like Jroc, I think you should consider an RS6 Avant. If nothing else, an alligator and a python would fit comfortably in the back.

Oops, shouldn't have called the 'Cat "fat". Opening today's mail and there was the MSO for the Durango. Friggin' 5,489 lbs. it says. Then again, maybe it's not completely accurate since the "H.P. (SAE)" states a whopping 49.1.

I dunno. Got the title for the GT AWD the other day, but don't remember what it states. Certainly less than the fat 'Cat, especially since mine has 325 lbs. of useless stereo stuff where the spare should live. Now you made me curious. I'll check them tomorrow.

Considering the weights those scales are made to weigh, I wouldn't out too much faith in what they read at such low numbers. Besides, like with gravel pits and such, they're really only interested in the difference between loaded and empty so the calibration is often off by quite a bit. Be...

Makes sense. If they have nothing new to sell, why not concentrate on used cars?

Well, yes. But with gravel on top. Mostly.

Maybe so, but the rainwater is nice and clean and won't leave any spots when it dries. That can't be said for our tap water, which makes it near impossible to wash a car without God's help.

I guess it helps if the rainwater is clean. Which ours is.

I beg to differ when it comes to safety and small cars. Having driven plenty of them, including the original Fiat 500s and various small sports cars, my safety depended on my ability to drive. Their much lower weight allowed maneuvers that just aren't possible with heavy vehicles. Sure, if...

Alright, you crave math. Here's some. Let's pretend that an EV would indeed be functional here, and someone gave me one. Since it'd be a relatively inexpensive car I'm guessing it'd cost me about $40 per month to insure. For the purpose of this discussion, that will be the only cost associated...

Somebody please refresh my memory here. Didn't ChargerChallenger, who owns a crap load of bitchin' vehicles, try an EV? A Lighting I think. As I recall, he gave up on that one in a few weeks, despite living in a populated area and driving on major routes.

You peg my dislike (based on perfectly logical reasons) as hate. Okay, that's probably the woke thing to do. But now that you mention it...I don't know my standing here. As far as I know I'm merely an unpaid member who speaks my mind, and hasn't been banned yet. Then again, I also know that I...

No, I hate flying and would never have any kind of aircraft. And we're down to one residence. And thankfully it's far from the areas where the EV fanatics could be encountered. But as an aside, this happens to be "Hellcat Forum Org.", not some greenie site, so maybe you should have expected a...
