I had a regular Challenger as a rental. The things feel like they are a whole size above a Mustang or Camaro to me. And those are the car’s natural competition, no?

I’ve got a couple of cars with steering wheel controls, and a couple that are old, and the wheel only turns the car. But, even after putting 90K miles on my Volvo, I still routinely change the radio station when I was to go up or down in volume. In my F-150, I’m still very likely to reset my fuel consumption display…
I’m not a fan of steering wheel-based controls. Too small, too identical between different functions (radio, phone, cruise control). Give me a knob, in a fixed location, for volume please.
Then he got bored and launched his 1st gen roadster in to a trans-Martian solar orbit.
Elon!
I think the 964 generation Porsche 911 had a 2-valve/twin plug set up as well. For them, they had a tough time with an aircooled, 4-valve head.
You forgot to black out the wheels, too. I’m sorry, I meant “rimz.”
Former retail Competitive Intelligence guy. And, unfortunately, you can’t understand retail in the US without knowing Walmart.
Well, ideally we wouldn’t have needed to play games to get the additional rebate. But, that’s what you get when you buy new.
We did exactly this to get a FoMoCo rebate of $2,500 if we used Ford financing at 3.7%. The $450 in interest paid still netted us $2,000 to the positive.
No kidding... Sheesh, these people are still bent out of shape about it not having pop-up headlights either.
I feel your pain... We, too, have random steering faults and an odd vibration.
Fun fact: while not Batmobile-related, the red/white Ford truck at the very end of the spot is actually Sam Walton’s. I know waaaaaaay too much about Walmart history.
We did those, too. We were lucky to have a BMW Tech friend who did our valve stem seals as a side-job for $800, and that was after we stripped everything down ourselves.
Ah yes, the reliable simplicity of just welding two M20 sixes together! :)
I feel you... we believe our active anti-roll bars might be going, too. It’s painful.
Oh, trust me, I know how lucky I am. Like when other guys complain about getting their wives to “let” them race. My wife usually drives the stint after me on our Lemons/Champcar races.
My wife has a 545i. Manual, RWD. That’s why we bought it. It had 120K miles on it, is up to 165K now.
I was waiting for something along the lines of “the car can self-initiate a Tachyon pulse if needed.”
I remember meeting Alex at a couple of CART races prior to his accident. He was the only driver who gave the tour of the pits/paddock for sponsors. Everyone else had a press person or the right rear tire guy do it. Once, he did it while wearing a Jimmy Vassar T-shirt, his teammate at the time (the shirt was signed:…
