Price ‘em so high as to shut off many potential buyers from popping for the EVs...such “genius” on Dodge’s part.

Oh look! Donald’s Bitch goes for a photo op while he’s not whining about Walz’s military service record—a man who put in 24 years with the National Guard and was mustered out due to hearing issues. Such “genius” on Vance’s part.

A loud exhaust on the Charger.

This is an April Fools’ joke on August 8th, right?  Right?

Given how many cars nowadays have nothing but oppressive black or (stand back for this radical choice!) charcoal grey, colorful interiors becoming a trend is A-OK with me. My everyday car’s interior is charcoal grey, so the first mod I did to it was a set of red semi-custom seat covers. They practically make the seats

Cost-effectiveness needs to take into account the ancillary effects of the fire: damage to the garage structure, injuries to residents exposed to acrid smoke inhalation, firemen tied up so can’t respond to other blazes, so yeah—these blankets are looking better and better.

The Autopian points out how fire blankets aren’t perfect, but they go a long ways towards making the EV fire much easier to manage as the firemen extinguish the flames:

If you want a reliable bang-for-the-buck engine swapped into an NC Miata, you want to use a Ford Fusion 2.5L 4-banger:

“...recently enjoyed a spate of minor but wildly expensive maintenance work.”

Again I come back to the Hornet example. (God I hate that commercial with the tattooed brat behind the wheel of that 4-banger box.) With the Hornets stacking deep on the lots, you’d think they’d sell ‘em cheap. But apparently not—just let them rot on the lots.

Since the 4-door has exactly the same profile as the 2-door, it’s a completely great looking sedan. But a price in the 40s where they do the right thing and go for maximum sales instead of much fewer big margins? Don’t hold your breath.

You and I are on the same sheet of music—Dodge could well be shooting themselves in the foot with their pricing. It’ll be interesting seeing where the 6-banger ICE-V Chargers stack up from a pricing standpoint next year when they’re released.

I’m assuming when car companies price their products, they’re going for the maximum money that they can extort from customers while they still won’t balk and walk. Fair statement? Course you’d expect Dodge to squeeze First Edition buyers—those men who just have to have one right now—and due to its strong homage to the

My choice could also be considered one of the best, since its ancestor helped win World War 2—the M151A2 Jeep from when I was stationed in Germany as NATO headcount:

I was there at Dodge Speed Week held in Vegas last year when the Charger concept was slowly driven around the grandstands making its artificial noises. As I understand it, that version was 2.0 since 1.0 was laughed at so much by Dodge boys that they quickly bailed on it and came up with 2.0. On one hand, the faked

Some cars are too far gone and too ordinary to make themselves worth the trouble to restore—this Vette is one of them. If I was a C4 nut with several ramshackle C4s littering my property, I could see adding another parts car to the mix making it worthwhile to get it hauled there.  But not me--ND.

Repubs scamming voters--what else is new?  Did the Sun rise in the East this morning?  I know: equally “shocking”.

When you’re talking about a half century-plus old 2nd gen Charger with a solid rear axle with torsion bars and recirculating ball power steering up front for that truly “dead” feel—not much. The handling is basically nonexistent.

I still can’t believe that gravel-voiced POS is serious about running for prez. You point to a schmuck who only got where he is in life due to riding the coat tails of his father, RFK Jr. is the perfect example.

Remember, Donald The Felon only cares about one thing: money in his pocket so he can (ugh) win the election to keep his fat ass out of prison—period. Self-serving hypocrisy are the words that he lives by.
