Update/New Car

[MastuhWaffles]

Wow I'm still alive and kicking around however I suppose its time for an update.
I do the jet things, they give me the money and finally I make enough to actually afford something cool.
And well I present to you:

A hellcat. 707HP with a manual and man it rips.
So I drove it all the way from MD-TX 1366 miles, it averaged 20MPG and even with premium it costs less to operate than my truck.
I still have my truck, its going on the backburner and is kinda my reserve vehicle for driving on bad weather days.

Well, if I was going to own a Dodge made in the last 30 or so years, that would be the one..l

My cousin has one. He mostly lets it sit in the garage and watches it appreciate in value.
He moved a couple weeks ago and that's probably the only time it's been driven all year.

700+HP and 20mpg...not bad...although if you drive with the skinny pedal pegged to the floor its a completely different story of course, but its funny how terrible the fuel economy is on a large HP vehicle, or rather how good it is if you drive conservatively....yeah we know that hardly happens when you got a toy like that....the manual transmission has to be one of the best features of a car like that though, gives you so much control and much more fun than the regular trashomatic that you are stuck with in most of today's vehicles.

I have a couple of friends that recently bought challengers. They seems to really like them.

I’ve always been a fan of driving a slow car too fast. Can’t really stretch the legs on on something like that, at least not around here.

Would be on the short list for a new car nonetheless.

My wife and i saw a guy in one of those and a guy in a speed3 racing on the highway south of denver. They went around us, very fast, and around a bus ahead of us and to the left. Sudsenly the bus slams on the brakes and swerves, so we all slam on our brakes.

The dodge driver seemed to have lost control and hit the center median wall and hen bounced back into the bus. The speed3 and he must have been freinds because the speed3 had stopped snd was in the median with its flashers on, undamaged.

Lots of power for some people that might not be accustomed to it.

I like driving slow cars fast, too. Loved my karmann ghia

Well a slow car fast it is not.

It's bonkers fast. A note after spending 2 months with it, it's not an uncontrollable monster.

The manual has longer gears and a 3.79 differential so it actually is able to put the power down unlike the short geared autos.
It handles really good. Over 1g of lateral force in the corners. And when you drift it's such a long car it's predictable and stable.

Well I already have upgrades for it planned. I'm reinforcing a lot of components in prep for more power so cowabunga it is.
