My wife had a ‘13 Chrysler 200 (I know, but it was decent on gas). She (really I) got a letter from the Chrysler Dealership that we bought it from...it had 3 coupons. One coupon was for a guaranteed trade-in value, one was for 20% off of the MSRP of a new car, and the other was for a ridiculously long low-interest…

to carry his lunch?

My cousin was actually one of the lead engineers (more or less in charge of the design team) of the PT...in fact, he brought the first one back from Mexico as a mule and drove it to work everyday from Warren to the Tech Center. He showed me pictures of the camo’d PT sitting in his garage...he loved toying with spy…

Brings back memories...my first brand new car (third overall) was a ‘99 Cavalier Coupe (not a Z24). It was fast enough for those runs to the CD/Music store with my friends. I had to have the engine replaced at 33,000 miles because of a huge crack in the lower part of the block. It never ran as good after that. My mom…

They may have been revolutionary back then, but I don’t believe they will last much longer. Most people, including kids, have smart phones that have .mp3 built in. I used to have a dedicated iPod for my car, but got rid of it when I bought a new phone with more memory. Now the car just connects with my phone an…

I can’t watch these political pissing contests...They are a monumental waste of taxpayer dollars focused on old issues (usually for the fourth or fifth time). She composed herself better than I expected and better than I could. I would have unleashed a Trump-like tirade the first time one of those “congressmen”…

So passing two cars at a very high rate of speed in a double yellow isn’t being a douchebag?

I actually support cops driving in unmarked civilian cars to look for speeders and violators as long as they use a marked car to pull you over with.

I bought a ‘15 Charger for me and a ‘15 Durango for the wife over the summer from the same Michigan dealer...I did not see this form (or sign it, of course) with either purchase. This must be coming from a single dealer or group of dealers, because it doesn’t seem to be commonplace.

I have been very happy with my ‘15 Charger...its the 4th FCA car that my wife and I have owned and have never had a major problem with any of them.

My wife and I had a 2013 Explorer XLT 4WD with the 3.5L V6. We took it on a road trip to Florida (from Michigan) and averaged 23.5mpg over 3400 miles. It road nice and had plenty of room...then the problems started about 18 months after leasing it (had about 19,000 miles on it). It mysteriously overheated (not just an…

My father-in-law had a ‘99 Plymouth Prowler in Millennium Red (he joked that it was bought with the money he saved by not sending my wife to college before we got married). He let me drive it a couple of times...it was quick. His neighbor had a 2000 or 2001 Mustang GT that I embarrassed at the stoplight in town. It…

I had a ‘14 Fusion with the 2.0L EcoBoost...it was a great engine that had a lot of power for a small 4 cyl. I never got anywhere near the MPG ratings on the window sticker, but that was probably more a problem with my foot than then engine.

Actually saw that in real life...I bought a Ford Flex back in 2009 from a Ford Dealer in Wisconsin. I bought an AWD SEL that was red with a white roof. When we went to pick up the truck, my 4 year old daughter at the time didn’t know what to think about it. The service manager had taken a picture earlier that day with…

God Dammit, that’s twice!!

I looked at an Impala this summer...I wanted a large sedan. The Taurus was out, the interior was barely bigger than the ‘14 Fusion I was trading in. So, it was between the Impala and the Charger.

I have been very happy with my Charger...I bought a ‘15 Charger SXT AWD with the Rallye package. I originally wanted an R/T, but because I live in Michigan, I wanted AWD (which sadly doesn’t come on the V-8’s). Everything else is great...the Beats Audio package sounds great, there is plenty of room for all passengers,…

I was actually looking at a 2015 200C AWD this summer...sticker price was just under $35,000. It had every conceivable option and looked like a really nice car...it also drove pretty nice with the 3.6L Pentastar. But then I got to looking around the lot and found that the dealer ordered several 2015 Dodge Charger…

I was looking at a Taurus last month, but opted for an AWD Charger Rallye...300HP, 8 spd, and plenty of room on the inside. Plus my Charger was sticker’ed at $36K while a comparable Taurus with AWD was about $38K and the engine had almost 50 less HP (unless I picked up an SHO). I traded in a Fusion which seemed to…

I had progressive for a number of years and the rate went up consistently over the last 2-3 years. I called to inquire why to which they couldn’t provide an answer. They offered me a rate discount if I plugged in that car computer thing, but that is all they could do. I called Geico and they offered me insurance…
