I think that is being misread to interpret it as an AWD Challenger. Sounds like we’re getting a widebody Challenger. Hopefully this gives them some ideas though! Less weight would be awesome too. The Challenger is a pig compared to the Mustang and Camaro.

You’re spot on with the idea about using LED’s as reverse light bulbs. I did that in my car and I actually have light back there now for when I’m backing up at night. With the factory bulbs I couldn’t even tell if they were on.

I don’t even like any of that info stored in my own car. After working with used cars for a while it’s amazing how much of people’s lives you can find hidden in their old car.

Good luck. I think that’s a better choice than an old Cherokee. The last 4Runner I worked on of that generation wasn’t fun though. With everything I fixed I found two more projects. I gave up after dropping a few hundred in parts into the front end. The friend I was fixing it for ended up trading it in a few months…

I second the other comments. Good choice on parts. I also hate drum brakes. I’ve done a pair of rotors and pads in 30 minutes in my driveway, but I’ve spent that much time getting one drum off before.

Yup. Sounds the same. One of my friends rode it for a few minutes then wouldn’t get back on it, nobody else wanted to ride it. I however, was wearing my ‘NO FEAR’ t-shirt.

It was about ten years ago. It was heavily modified and took race gas. I said ‘supposedly’ because I don’t know if anyone ever put it on a dyno. It was owned by someone who competed professionally on PWC’s. None of the gauges worked but I know I could run circles around the boat when that had an indicated speed of 50…

I’ve driven a number of them and one of the first I drove supposedly had 300 hp and was a two-seater. It was definitely the fastest thing I’ve ever driven. I can see 100 hp being a good entry level. I’ve driven a few slower ones since, and while they’re still fun, the 300 hp one definitely spoiled me. I think I’d get…

I visited the farm of a family member a few years ago and was amazed at all the stuff that was already automated. There were sensors in the ground that told the irrigation system when to run and what places needed water. This is just the next logical step. Crazy how far things are coming!

I understand where you’re coming from here, but after giving people financial advice for years, almost everyone thinks they’re responsible with their money. That is, until they’re up to $15k in credit card debt making $30k a year.

You’re definitely in the minority on that. I’m a big Chevy fan and I hated those trucks.

Oh the sacrifices of owning a car in the city. I brought my lunch to work in a plastic shopping bag. Although for me it’s to afford my four cars in the suburbs....

Wouldn’t it be nice to put thousands of miles on it, trash the underbody, turn it back in to Lexus, and not worry about your job?

I have a D3200 for work and although my personal cameras are Canons, I really like it. I could go either way for my next personal camera.

I have an older one from the 60's and if I wear it all day it will stay wound overnight. I would say I get roughly 12 ours out of it from when I put it down. I’ve heard the newer ones are much better.

This reminds me of when I lost my brakes on the freeway because the dealership left a bleeder screw open. I was coming down for an off-ramp at 65 or 70, tested the brakes early and the pedal went to the floor. I had plenty of time to downshift and ease on the parking brake to get it to stop before I needed to.

The issue with this ignition switch problem is that the key bounces out of the ‘On’ position, and therefore enables the steering wheel lock. You have to switch it back to ‘On’ before you can use the steering wheel again.

The insurance is cheaper, and even then most of these claims aren’t enough to cover the deductible. Most issues get paid out of pocket by the dealer, and cases like this are extremely rare.

If it’s in Center City, you’ll be fine. There’re plenty of garages there, although expensive. The train is the easiest way to travel to almost any East Coast city though.

Sounds nice. I’ll contact you somehow the next time I’m down in that area.
