It scares me how well some of the lousy American cars sell.

Just for the curiosity, I did a build on one of these and the price tag shot up into the upper 30s for one of these boats. Now, being a long time Mopar fan, I can attest that this vehicle is impressive in person more so than any picture can show. The red one looked VERY sharp as it pulled up next to me a couple days ago. He looked at me, I looked at him and we went our seperate ways. What I really noticed about him more than anything was his huge wheels and tires. Thy just looked bigger than they actually were. I traded in a Dodge Dakota Pickup and if they had these before I did, I may have had a problem deciding on which way to go....nah, I would have still bought the 8, who am I kidding.... LOL

Oh yeah, Ike? You stated you don't make a big deal out of interiors? No wonder, take a look at your's, now you can see why. :D

I don't care for fluff like some people ^^^^ :p

Really though, if it's got a good seat, good pedal placement, a decent stereo, and a nice feeling steeringwheel is really all it takes to make me happy.

I followed this car pretty heavily for a while and almost snagged one, but then when I saw how BIG they are I got turned off, still a sweet ride though, there's already one riding around slammed check this link http://www.streetsourcemag.com/viewo...rofileid=29024

Ike, your old man has a great car. I am contemplating turning my lease over. I got hurt and find it difficult to use the clutch and need more room. I test drove this car the other day with the Hemi and it is sweet. For as big as it is, the handling is excellent and the interior looks great and has all the room you need for 5 or maybe 6 in a squeeze. The ride is very smooth and the noise subdued until you floor it. Ahh hemi...hemi...hemi. I found it to be a great car.

I think it is a little overboard. I just want to know one thing does she come with the car.

people buy used montanas . Its a pretty decent minivan. Its on its 2nd trans already and its still under 60Kmiles if I remember correctly. It does get used to haul boats around and just a whole bunch of tools, parts, and other crap.

How is it a pretty decent minivan if it's on its 2nd tranny at under 60k miles? That's terrible!

Ike -that's probably the best looking WRX I've seen-most of the ones around here are blue or silver. I like the bug eyes better than the current headlight arrangement.

About the Magnum - I've seen several red/burgundy ones around here, and the styling is still a little confusing to me. However, I do love the sound and torque of a V8, and I'm certain this one pulls like a team of Clydesdales. However, for looks alone, I'll keep my 8.

Thanks VR, that's the main reason I got the white, just too many blue and silver ones around. Also I got the 03 right as the 04s were being released because I wanted to snap one up because I didn't like the new headlights as well as the bugeyes.
