I have a Charger 392 and as it happens, I am a blue dot living in a red state. As one who doesn’t fit neatly into society’s boxes (live in the country, love cities, own guns, support stricter gun control, love cars, concerned about global warming, live in the south, hate confederate nonsense, etc.), I have people like

And since the article got somewhat political and many people commenting have assigned political leanings to people who own Challengers, I should mention that I am a liberal who is looking forward to cool electric cars/trucks in the future.  I commented to my wife that this was probably the last gas-powered car we

Here in South Carolina, I get far more folks of color stopping me to talk about my Charger 392 than I do white folks.

I can’t speak for the Challenger, but I have a Charger Scat Pack, and find it quite comfortable for cruising. I normally keep it in Eco mode, which reduces the tendency to drop several gears when I blip the throttle - Sport mode is there when I want that - and even get 25 mpg on the highway.

My wife and I name all our cars.  My daily driver (Charger 392 Scat Pack) is Mnementh.  My wife’s Avalon TRD is Ramoth.  We have an older Civic, Ruth.

OK, hackers, just try to hack mine:

“Ugh, if this is the tune apartment dwellers decide to sing here,I’ll just stay inside.

My vote would be split between Harris Teeter and Publix.   Unfortunately, I don’t have a Harris Teeter near me, but Publix is here and is awesome.

Matching numbers are WAY overrated unless you are using cars as investments.  Swap the parts into a better candidate and enjoy.

This is not exactly new;  the only time my father got arrested was in the early 60's for spectating at an illegal drag race in the Everglades just outside Miami.  As he described it, a Florida Highway Patrol officer came upon the scene while everyone was looking at the departing cars and caused much mayhem once

I can confirm they had them in the stalls of the men’s room at Narita.  My daughter (not with us on the trip) was 7 months old at the time and I thought: “THAT’S AWESOME!”  Why don’t we have these in the USA?

THIS!

I haven’t tried these, but anything that adds variability to the critical chocolate to peanut butter filling ratio is a good thing. This allows you to choose the one that you like the best. (I prefer the minis as there is more chocolate to peanut butter filling compared to the original.)

Same thing happened to my parent’s 1996 Accord.  It took Dad about 2 days to change out the key cylinder.  This was done in the parking lot where he works.

I grew up driving manuals. (My parents didn’t get an automatic until they were in their 70s.) When I finally drove a rental car in traffic, I could see someone wanting one for traffic, but I still prefer a manual. This includes by Ford F-250.

Perhaps it’s because I learned to drive on a manual. My parents didn’t own an automatic until they were in their 70s and I didn’t own one until I bought a Tundra in 2005. It was a great truck EXCEPT for the transmission. I don’t want a machine doing what it thinks it should do - it should do what I TELL it to do.  You

I bought one of the last Ford F-250s available with a manual. It’s a 2009 with a 6.4L Navistar and a 6-speed.  I will never part with this truck.

This article exemplifies why I read Michael Harriot.  Thank you.

Somebody should tell people that it is easier to back a large vehicle into a tight spot than pull it forward.  This will also make leaving the spot easier.  Of course this assumes that you know how to use your mirrors (or a backup camera, if equipped).

Maybe it’s an age thing.  I love old, mechanical watches.  The old-school feel and craftsmanship is something I love owning.  Same goes for fountain pens and high-end kitchen knives.
