Sirius is five or six bucks per month, and works. A separate cell plan and a smart phone (the latter a one time cost) would probably be 10 times as much per month. Sirius works, cell signals not so much. Hmm, which one should I go with?

Come to think of it, using a cell phone as the source for music would be an excellent way of finding out just how many stretches of roads around here has no cell service. On the other hand, satellite (Sirius) doesn't work in tunnels or parking garages, neither of which we have anywhere near here.

Hmm. Not that I drive all that much on interstates, but find them very easy to drive on. Effortless passing etc., but quite boring. That's where people who don't actually drive should be, I think. If there's a need for special licenses it should be for driving on curvy 2-laners. Although, it...

By the way, the Audi didn't get traded in. They offered some $6K below KKB trade-in value. In other words, here's your chance to get a different white station wagon, and at less than 40% of the cost of the Durango. It gets twice the mileage, too, but has noticeably less power.

Then I'd have to get a "smart" phone, which if also used as a cell phone might last me a day or two. Maybe. My current Kyocera Dura XE has stayed functional for almost a year now, which is a record. And the volume knob in the Challenger works just fine, even with the performance pages on the...

Only the first time.

If they weren't Fat Fenders I'd almost be tempted to trade the Dunago for the white one.

Ask him to go on a 400 mile drive with you. And on that subject, on the news today they said that 0.8% of vehicles in this state are EVs. And they have decided that it should be 43% within a couple of years. Sure. Oh, and a whopping 4% were hybrids. Did I mention that I like it here in the...

Maybe, maybe not. But could be just as exhausting. And expensive.

We had ritual killings in gravel pits of our $50 (or so) winter cars in Europe...especially if they still ran when the registration expired in the spring. And if they didn't, it was fun to open both doors (yes, they were mostly multi-door cars) and then run into them with the Jeeps. Sometimes...

Ah, motorcycles. Yeah, some guy just about took me out when stopped at a light...and he didn't, doing maybe 50. As soon as the light turned green I gave the Wide Glide all it had, caught up with him and proceeded to kick in the sheet metal, starting with the rear fender and working my way...

I would feel pretty crappy if such a move resulted in them swerving, then crashing. And possibly taking out innocent cars in the process.

It won't have to. I'll limit it even more. I treat every new car as if I'll keep it forever. Then some lucky soul ends up with a vehicle with 700 to 1,800 miles on it that has been treated better than some treat their better half. Myself included.

Sorry, but I have no idea yet. The odo still shows the same 13 miles as it did when I picked the V6 up the other day. Spent some quality time pushing buttons yesterday, getting rid of as many nannies and automated features as the system allows. Oh, and removed the one tiny badge on the...

And they will likely be in pristine condition. Nobody reads the manuals anymore. Not when the real truth can be found on You Tube and on forums.

Are you insinuating that building back better isn't?

I doubt that it has active damping, but either way, accessing the performance pages is as easy as on a real Challenger. It's keeping the channel selector functional that is the issue. I'm starting to wonder if it has to do with if the radio has nav or not. The '18 and '19 may have it, I dunno...

One way to learn is to get one with the dial-a-gear "shifter" on the dash. That way you may get Reverse instead of a lower volume, or vice versa.

Those buttons kept me from buckling up while going past the garage and steering with my leg. Then they did work, just not as intended. When driving, not so much. We don't have any stoplights nearby, and not a lot of straight sections of road. It's one thing to reach over to a knob that's always...

Oh, great. Engines (and cars) built by ex Furd employees. What could possibly go wrong?
