thanks again for most of the comments that were positive ha. Have an open mind folks. Seriously, I thought this board was full of cool people, untill now. I realize now that there are car lovers and then there are those that think that whatever they got makes them the ****. Been there, done that , movin on.

See you at a red light flamers!

its hard to say good things on a car that looks like a Tank on wheels. if you would of traded your car for a z, s2k etc i would of been grats .
but i just cant see how you went from a 8 to calibur. You must see something in the car that i am not seeing. so grats and gl to you.

I'm just a little curious if it bothers you to have bought a car from a company that will most likely be out of business in a month or so? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I have been thinking of getting a chevy HHR for haulin' some small stuff around, and I was wondering if potential liquidation of the corporation entered into your analysis?

A while back when I first got my 8 I was driving with my ex-gf at the time and this silver caliper srt4 comes flying up next to me. This dude and all his goofy friends are infatuated with my ex (deff a hottie), they're all tryin to shout sexy at her and wave at her LOL

n e way this dude down shifts and takes this tight turn in the lane beside me with waay too much torque and starts fish tailing like a mother ****** and about crashes. I kept my distance.

We do have an open mind. We accept trades. Some people have other needs. But at some point it stops being open minded and starts accepting bad ideas. People are criticizing the fact that you chose the srt over cars that are honestly better choices and would fit your needs. If you said you wanted more space and decided to get a pinto, would you say we should still be open minded? Of course not. The only reason to choose that car over most the others would be if you like the look. I personally think it's kind of rice but in a sort of clean way. If you want to talk about open mindedness, then accept the fact that people wont like your car. There are people who hate on the 8 all the time, but I still justify owning it with my own reasons, I dont need to convince them to buy one too.

As for the red lights... would that be the red traffic light, or the red lights from the red and blue lights on the cop car once you get pulled over for trying to race me?

I highly doubt that.

Congrats on the car. Good straight line power and lots of interior space. I dont think I would go from rwd to fwd, but seems to suit your lifestyle better

No moving on... want more pics! Granted, I have pondered the idea of trading off my 8 but decided to just add another car later on and still keep it. When I traded off my first 7 I regretted it shortly after and don't want to make the same mistake again. When I saw the first ad for the Caliber SRT-4 (it was the burnt orange color) I was taken in by it. I have yet to see one in person and would like to see some shots of the interior and such. As for MS3... that was my other interest when buying the 8 and the 8's style and ride won out, but when comparing the MS3 to the SRT-4, I believe it is a close enough comparison to make a decision on style (or in this case, dealerships). The 3 and 4 are pretty good looking cars and you really could not go wrong with either one. Have fun w/ it and POST MORE PICS!

Even funnier. Its supposed to be a performance oriented car and it doesnt even have an LSD

Plus it handles like a boat, rattles horribly and it just plain ugly.

Like others I would have gone with a speed3 or a wrx, but good luck with all that.

I was gonna write something but this pretty much says it all. We understand changing needs or desires but when there are obviously better choices out there we are going to call you on it.

Something else to consider is that Dodge may well be in bankruptcy in about a month so I hope you plan on holding on to it for, well forever.
