2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

[Nitro Express]

We keep K-cars in Hell just for the sheer torment value. AMC Pacers & Gremlins too.

Couldn't keep the Ford Pintos around.... much too flammable for this climate.

Would you believe Pacers and Gremlins now have a bit of a collectors following?

[Nitro Express]

Oh man! The K-Car! What a mid-80's shitbox that was! Not a bright spot in automotive history..

Some people loved them. I guess they actually were reliable and easy to fix. Iacocca said he asked the comptroller how much cash Chrysler had. One million dollars. The payroll a week was $2 million. He didn't have much to work with. When he went to repay the government back on it's loan he was told it would take 30 days to figure out who to write the check to. He gave President Reagan a fake check in the Oval Office for a photo Op. When he told Regean it was going to take a month to find out who to write the real check out to. Reagan just laughed. Iaccoca said he made a few million extra just leaving that money in the bank drawing interest while Ronny laughed.

Hell someone probably just pocketed the money. I think $3 Trillion went missing out of the Pentagon budget when Rumsfeld was in charge.

[Seshmeister]

When my nephew bought a Jaguar XJ6 I just laughed at him. Yeah it looks great but if you want that as a daily driver you might want to find a bigger sucker now. He ended up dumping $3,000 into it and unloaded it for $1500.

This was quite a long time ago I'm guessing...

[Nitro Express]

This was quite a long time ago I'm guessing...

It was a used car. I forgot the year but it was the older body style. The leather was in great shape. He thought he made a deal at $1,000. I used to have a Range Rover Classic. It was fine off road when it ran. LOL! No complaints about the off road handling but the differentials would break and the cheap ass Lucas binnacle drove me nuts. The speedometer was always breaking. I unloaded off on some guy in Utah who proceeded to beat the shit out of it in Moab. Jeremy Clarkson was right. It was ahead of it's time in 1970 and was a great design but the shitty attention to details foiled the vehicle reaching it's full potential. Oh well. I had my fun with it.

[Nitro Express]

Ha! Ha! A K Car collectors meet. Hell. I'm going to buy one and join the club!

[Kristy]

How's that shitty plastic GM interior treating you?

Good. Real good. Until it gets recalled.

[DONNIEP]

To hell with a K Car. I want one of these:

[Kristy]

Of course. It's a lot better than the view from Smellvis' tricycle.

[DONNIEP]

Of course. It's a lot better than the view from Smellvis' tricycle.

Wow. It can fly?

[Nitro Express]

You fly on legal Colorado weed. There's probably a hooka pipe that pulls from the dash.

[Kristy]

Well, it certainty can't get great gas mileage.

[Nitro Express]

Of course. It's a lot better than the view from Smellvis' tricycle.

Rednecks are more into four wheelers.

[Nitro Express]

To hell with a K Car. I want one of these:

I wonder if all eight headlights stay on when you select the high beams? With those lights and that big ass grill. That car was made for tailgating intimidation.

[DONNIEP]

I wonder if all eight headlights stay on when you select the high beams? With those lights and that big ass grill. That car was made for tailgating intimidation.

If I had one of those I swear I would drive it all the damn time. Especially to the Walmart.

[Kristy]

What Smellvis currently drives.

[Von Halen]

I wouldn't drive a Generic Motors piece of shit if they gave it to me for free. That is the most corrupt company in America. They fucking stole our money, and then I'm going to willingly give them more? I don't think so. Only a fucking idiot would do that.

Of course, Kris-ty doesn't pay taxes, because he doesn't work, so his money never got stolen by Generic Motors. Him buying a GM product is just one welfare recipient giving back to another welfare recipient.

[Kristy]

If I had one of those I swear I would drive it all the damn time. Especially to the Walmart.

Yeah, you and ZahZoo both.

[Nitro Express]

Lieutenant I need a new ride!

Are you and Smellvis er...close...?

[Nitro Express]

Walmart car show! Hey. Beats a tricycle.

I hear ya! Ford didn't take any money. They sold Land Rover and Jaguar to raise some cash and adjusted to the situation. GM bond holders were ripped off. Their assets were just plain stolen.

I just read that 90% of all GM auto loans are sub prime, so that explains the Malibu Krusty Edition...

[Seshmeister]

It was a used car. I forgot the year but it was the older body style.

Those old XJ6's were absolutely notorious.

I've made lots of heart over head decisions over the years but even I wouldn't have touched one of them.

For the last 10 years I've really fallen out of love with the 'car as a statement of who you are' thing.

If you don't have unlimited money it seems not only a waste of money but an unoriginal way to spend your cash. Maybe doesn't work so well in the US but I heard a bit of fiscal advice which is very true at least for people in their 20s/30s that you should buy the most expensive home you can afford and the cheapest car. Property goes up in value cars fucking divebomb at least here.

I've never bought a new car. I may one day just to see what it's like but I would rather buy a 3 year old car at 50% of the price and spend the difference on living and doing stuff.

Nothing worse in this world than the guy with the expensive car that means he can't afford to live...

Plus the second scratch doesn't hurt.

The not having to give a shit is a huge freedom.

I leave it anywhere and literally don't care much if it's there when I go back a day later in a taxi to pick it up. That's a great feeling.

I'd much rather have a big taxi budget than a brand new Merc but I realise that's not an option for a lot of people in the US. If I go out in the city here it costs me about $15 to get home in a cab.

[ZahZoo]

I got my drivers license driving mom's 69 Olds Vista Cruiser...

[Von Halen]

I got my drivers license driving mom's 69 Olds Vista Cruiser...

Love it!

What mini-van has that kind of character?

[Seshmeister]

I got my drivers license driving mom's 69 Olds Vista Cruiser...

It's very unusual for an American to wait until their 40th birthday to get their license.

[ZahZoo]

Love it!

What mini-van has that kind of character?

Exactly... and a 455 V8...

[Kristy]

I have a V-8

[ELVIS]

They don't make V8 Maliboos...

[Nitro Express]

Love it!

Brings back memories of going to the movies in one. The windows in the roof were cool. I loved the ones that had the back facing seat.

The older XJ6's were good looking cars. They are just money pits. New cars are poor investments. Always have been. Older cars with some collectors value is a different story. Some of us would have done well if we sat on our late 60's muscle cars for a few decades. LOL!

Real estate can be a lousy investment. The problem with real estate is it sometimes can be difficult to sell and there are the costs of taxes and insurance. You don't buy the home you buy the neighborhood so in general buying the cheapest house in the best neighborhood you can afford is good advice. Big houses can be hard to sell but a smaller, well maintained home in a great neighborhood usually move.

Car culture is just not in the US. In places like China and Russia what people want as soon as they have some extra money is a new car. You wouldn't dare ride a bicycle in Bejing today. Your ass would get ran over!

If nobody bought new cars there wouldn't be any used ones to buy. It's always nice to have someone else take the depreciation hit and if they kept it on the maintenance schedule that's the one you want to snag.

You can get by without a car in New York City. Where you have denser populations you have better public transportation. Where you need a car is where that isn't available or doesn't work for where you want to go. Where I live you have to not only have a car but something that can get around in lots of snow in the winter. Some days I'm driving 300 plus miles just going places for work.

So Chrysler has released HP figures and the base price for the awesome SRT Hellcat pictured below:



707HP !!

Base price $59,000

That's awesome...

[DONNIEP]

That's not gonna make the tree huggers happy...

[ELVIS]

And in other news, my wife and I stumbled onto this beautiful SRT Super Bee a few days ago...

And today God has trusted us enough with our finances to allow it to reside in our driveway !!

Thank you, Father...

In Jesus' mighty name...

Amen !!

[twonabomber]

I'm waiting for the Charger. I think I'm ready for a practical car.

Haven't seen if they are going to make a Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat.

[ELVIS]

I'm waiting for the Charger.

See above...

[twonabomber]

Nice! I like that color.

Our cuntinuous improvement guy worked at Alcoa, where those wheels were made.

[ELVIS]

Dude, it's nice...

Garage kept, new tires, new exhaust, 30,000 miles...

[Kristy]

A fabled penis extender car only Dumbellvis sees as having any value.

[ELVIS]

No, a Maliboo has no value...

It's just throw away transportation...

A Super Bee has both style and class, as well as superior power and comfort...

It's also a collector car, with real value...
