As you know, I'm not interested in being handed any slips. So since the cop cars (and everybody else) are down on power, too, I don't care one bit.

Hmm. Living the low life or sacrificing some performance? I know which one I prefer.

It's not just cars. I searched for a Can-Am UTV nationwide for days. "Pre-order now" it said on just about every dealer's site. Non-refundable $1,500 deposit. Delivery date? Maybe April or June. Maybe. John Deere was even worse. Found a Can-Am about to arrive at a dealer in Corpus Christi, TX...

You may be onto something there, 'trooper. Those roof signs must be installed somewhere along the process.

KZP is supposed to be "body vendor", but it seems like it could really be JS (storage) these days.

I have a set of Michelins, 285/45s as I recall, not dedicated winter tires but bought to be better for winter use. Ended up selling the 'Hawk with the OE tires soon afterwards, so not many miles on them if you're interested. Also have a set of stock size DWS06s with very few miles on them, on...

Hmm. Been around @Hellcatcfp much?

Okay, the DSL is working again. Allows me to point out that even the Rapid Transit Authority isn't interested.

That's not entirely untruthful, ChargerChallenger. A low regular cab with power like that would be great. But then there's real life. I wouldn't drive a Furd (or anything which looks even remotely like that) even with your driver's license. Makes me feel better about having a relatively slow...

Oh, I sure wouldn't want to make anything worse. But having been 'wheeling for most of my life, the TRX isn't even on the list of vehicles I'd like to go on trails with. It's capable of much more than I'd want to subject it to, and is really just a fun version of a boring 1500 to me. If you...

Meanwhile, just about any vehicle I buy, I try to make handle, stop, accelerate, or whatever, better. Besides, I have and have had so many "something else" that the TRX was the only vehicle that I was interested in buying. Can I make it handle better? Already did. Can I make it handle better...

Funny. Yesterday I thought "Wonder how hard it could be to lower it about two inches." Going to narrower (matching the rim width better) tires helped the handling quite a bit. The rear anti sway bar helps both in the corners and when accelerating hard. Obviously, lowering would be very...

Correct. It's not particularly good at anything. But where the TRX shines compared to a regular pickup seems to be its ability to go fast in the dirt. I have no desire to go fast in dirt, but do like the 702 hp. Its questionable handling is an acquired taste and can be fun, I think.

Maybe Greg Gutfeld had already trademarked "Redeye"?

I don't think they screwed up. They just didn't anticipate the Hellcat envy. And I know I must've posted a pic of the Limited badge I stuck on the rear lid of my 'Hawk, where the Trackhawk badge used to be.

Hmm. Was it better or worse when I stuck a left-over cat head on the fender of my 3500 (where the big "C" used to be)? I may have even posted a photo of that at some point.

It does have a Hellcat engine, but that doesn't make it a Hellcat, It makes it a TRX. Same situation with the 'Hawk. Dodge offers Charger, Challenger, and did the Durango. Those are Hellcats, as you well know. Sticking cat heads on something other than a Hellcat doesn't make it one. So there.

It's not a Dodge. And only Dodge has Hellcat models.

He does. And somehow Ram found out about his plans for the added cat skulls, which resulted in that his arrived at the dealer later than mine did. And rightfully so. Okay Magnified, your turn to sock it to 04Ram2500Hemi...so to speak.

Surely you know that people do that. Thankfully I have yet to see one of those huge cat head stickers plastered to the side of one. But give it time.
