Dealer name? Mark Dodge? My parents are in the market for a 2500 diesel for towing around their camperas their 2006 1500 w/5.7 is about maxed out. They’re definitely patient shoppers who are willing to wait but have the money to buy when a good deal appears. 

I feel like those wheels are a bit of a swing and a miss. Too big, much too big. And not gold.

Tuning is also very broken. You can completely sabotage a cars PP value with gearbox tuning leading to cars that are absurdly fast for their PP rating. Adjusting camber and gearing shouldnt affect these values. Also, the complete lack of feedback on what your tuning is doing, aside from changing PP which we have…

My family is definitely Chrysler centric. I grew up with uncles having 80s turbo Dodge stuff, a cool Plymouth Scamp, and some other odds and ends. My parents bought an 88 Dakota Sport brand new, a 96 Intrepid, I had several Neons, they have a 98 Dakota Sport, an 06 Ram, 18 Durango, I’ve got a 21 Compass. Thats what I…

I’m intrigued just because its called “pear”

It actually reminds me of the cars from MRC on N64.

I’d say the grill isnt terrible, it just looks awkward as heck with those horrible gaping headlight holes. It needs something like Jaguar F-Pace headlights. I honestly think that would save the car. 

Um, I’d rather an AMC Eagle with a rotted body were used. 

For anyone wondering, this is caused by an extreme wheel speed differential with the ground. Vipers have very tall gears, first goes to 60, 2nd goes to about 100. That means if you were only going 30, spinning your tires and grabbed 2nd, still spinning, your wheels are going about 100 while the car goes 30. Its the…

I’ve been having fun with the 650pp street cars. I’ve found that to be a nice sweet spot between handling and power monsters. 

I believe as common carriers airlines cant ban customers, which is why they’re trying to get a No-Fly list created so they can actually ban them for bad behavior.

I think a 5 year ban at a minimum for offenses is a good place to start. Go up from there depending on the severity of the actions. Like if its so bad the plan has to be rerouted and youre arrested off the plane, thats probably a lifetime ban, short of proving it was a psychotic break, you got medication, therapy,…

I’d argue it isnt about recidivism but the threat of the ban up front is enough to keep people in line. If you know there arent any real lasting impacts from acting out, youre more likely to do so. Now there can be consequences for those actions. 

Honestly, I like factory nav for long road trips. It was really nice in my moms Durango (2018) when we drove it from MN to AZ. It shows a little picture on the screen of arrows, what the freeway sign will look like, what lane to be in, etc. Google Maps doesnt do that. I have the “same” big radio and same “full LCD…

When I listed my IS300 (manual, 190k, owned it for 14+ years) for sale a year and a half ago, I listed it up for $5500, which was the cheapest one in the country by about $1500 as far as I could tell. Eventually I talked to a guy who wanted to have a nice long conversation about the car. He was from Virginia and the…

Because the really bad ones are like those crazy, but hot gals you know. They’re a heck of a hoot to drive but you really dont want it kicking around terribly long. The MKV GTI is the safe, boring, choice...therefor the worst.

Character is fun. Not all character has to be dangerously bad. Its like the fun sociable guy you like to have a couple beers with vs a straight forward person who gets to the point with no fanfare, they can both tell you the same story but its way more entertaining from one person than the other.

I’m going to say a MKV VW GTI. On paper it has everything a hot hatch should have, good power, understated sporty looks, functionality, and good numbers on a skid pad.

Except, when you actually drive one, its so robotic and soulless, an engine that feels perfectly linear with no personality. It really is the washing…
