Do you like to street race? 

Do you like the feeling of revving your engine at a stop light and squeezing the steering so hard that your knuckles go white? 

How about channeling your inner Paul Walker as you e-brake turn right through the Buckhead on your way to the Ivy... If you're unfamiliar with atlanta, forgive me. 

Well, if that's you this car certainly isn't. This car projects you as a responsible adult. It says you like American muscle but you're also practical and understand that you're far too old to be living your life "one 1/4 mile at a time". This car says you have a great deal of Patriotism and support for the American way, but that you're not about to waste your time, gas or anybody else's safety trying to prove that you're billy bad ass. 

Upon first glance of this quintessential piece of American engineering you'll notice several nice customizations. You'll see a fantastic contrast in the premier metallic paint with the beautiful black rims. They're wrapped in some fancy run flat tire that is supposed to make the car ride smoother and grip the road better. My dad always said to spend money on the things that come between me and the ground... That's why I have immaculate taste shoes, I never skimp on crappy off brand tires, and I have a budget set aside just for sheets that make me sleep like a baby. 

I digress, but the car gets even better when you fall into the driver seat and notice you're not getting beat down by the sun. It's hot as hell in the south but thanks to the UV protecting deep tint and an automatic dual climate controlled environment you'll be cool as the other side of my restoration hardware pillow. Besides worrying about SPF while you're cruising the open road is unAmerican. Thank God that's not an issue here.

Back to interior... Sink right into that perfectly upholstered seat and you'll find there is a certain satisfaction once you turn the key and witness the subtle growl of over 300 ponies. Yes that's right, and those ponies come from a v6 power plant and it's more than capable. You should enjoy knowing that you could dust most of the common cars out on the road but revel more in the fact that you're mature enough not to. It's like the car version of an upscale tuxedo t-shirt. It reads, I have a cool fast car but I'm not dumb enough to wrap it around a light pole. 

See I'm assuming you're secure enough in yourself that you don't need to waste your money for the negligible power gain and decreased efficiency that the V8 brings. You're flooded with testosterone and everyone gets it. If the V6 is an issue I have a question... well really several questions: What are two cylinders going to prove and who are you trying to impress with a less efficient machine? I've got news for you man, chicks dig the smart guy... And driving a V8 with Obama and his gas prices just isn't going to cut it. I'm not pointing fingers, but you don't have truck nuts do you? 

Yeah, this car is plenty fast and it's been meticulously maintained. It's got a perfect title, never been in an accident and it's going to turn as many heads as Kate Upton's Terry Richardson shoot...Do yourself a favor and google it if you haven't already. Okay slight exaggeration, well huge exaggeration. None the less you'll notice as your right foot gets heavy on the gas pedal there is plenty of linear acceleration, angular momentum, g force and whatever else you want to feel. 

You'll also notice that as you see red lights and have to apply the brakes you'll experience what is known as an inertia if you hit them too hard. That my friend is a great thing because that means these brakes are actually in great condition and you wont have to worry about them for quite some time. I don't want to upset you but by being the proud owner of this car you're not going to turn into Jeff Gordan anytime soon. Nascar probably isn't in your cards but this is still a fun ride and a great daily driver. 

Please feel free to make all the nascar noises that you want while you drive... You can even imagine that you're getting your tires changed by a professional pit crew when you goto NTB. By all means use your imagination if that is what you're into. 

Ultimately you have the power. You have power seats, power locks, power windows and plenty of light bodied, all engine, rear wheel drive American power. In terms of buying power you wont really need much. There's no way you'll find a better deal out there for a vehicle with under 30k miles, fresh performance tires, and that has been garaged almost every day of its life. 

If you want to posses something that you can look at in the garage of your condo and feel satisfaction about the choice you made to not drive a prop car from the fast and the furious feel free to contact me for any and all info I neglected to mention. Selling a car is not rocket science so I didn't feel the need to mention any drag coefficients or aerodynamic impacts that the rear spoiler enhances but if you'd like to discuss them over some American beer I'd be happy to entertain. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Playing in the snow | 2017 Dodge Challenger GT First Drive

Sat, Jan 28 2017

The previous day was miserable. An icy rain fell over Portland, Maine, coating the pavement and making even walking a chore. Driving a muscle car like the Dodge Challenger seems ill-advised. But this is exactly the weather Dodge hoped for, because we're here to test the new all-wheel-drive 2017 Challenger GT. The morning of our test drive dawns sunny and cold. The remnants of a late January nor'easter now past, we nonetheless steel ourselves for a day of unruly roads. Stepping into an inch of slush, we open the huge door, climb inside, and nestle into the heavily bolstered driver's seat. Immediately comfortable, we know the Challenger well. It's an old friend. Late in life, it's finally finding stability. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Heading onto the Maine turnpike, we're struck by the Challenger's poise. All-wheel drive civilizes the coupe's brutish nature. We confidently navigate the first on-ramp – still wet from the storm – and merge onto the highway. A rear-wheel-drive car would come unsettled here, yet this Challenger's 19-inch wheels wrapped in all-season Michelin rubber are not disturbed. At the very least, the specter of tire spin would have made us overcautious. All-wheel drive doesn't morph the Challenger into a Subaru Outback, but it does make the Mopar a realistic year-round option for buyers north of the Mason-Dixon line. Dodge arrived at this conclusion after some introspection. The Challenger and its sibling the Charger sedan are usually cross-shopped with each other, and design is often the deciding factor. With Charger AWD sales remaining strong (in 17 Northern states at least 50 percent of Chargers are sold with the system), not offering an all-wheel Challenger leaves money on the table. Ben Lyon, Challenger brand manager, says the common refrain was, "I would have bought a Challenger, or I would have bought a two-door muscle coupe, if it was available with all-wheel drive." View 50 Photos Naturally, the Dodges share an AWD system, which has an active transfer case and the ability to disengage the front axle, making the Challenger a rear-wheel-drive car in certain conditions to help save fuel. Ambient temperature, wheel slip, Sport mode, passing situations, and the driver's behavior can trigger the all-wheel capability.

How good would this look as a Dodge? New Peugeot 408 is a cool EV crossover coupe

Wed, Jun 22 2022

Americans have long lusted after the forbidden fruits of the automotive markets: Vehicles offered elsewhere but not sold here in the United States. When Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, former parent to Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and others, joined forces with PSA (Peugeot and others), there was hope that Americans could get hold of some quirky French cars as part of the deal. That hasn’t happened, at least not yet. As it turns out, Europeans get just as many boring crossovers as we do, though Peugeot thinks it has a solution with the new 408, an aerodynamic compact crossover with style for days. While we seriously doubt a rebadged 408 would ever show up on our shores, it's easy to imagine how a vehicle looking something like this on the same electrified platform could spawn a viable product for the American market. Squint a bit and "new electric Dodge Intrepid" comes to mind.  Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that France would come out with a new vehicle that seems well-matched to the American market. Utility vehicles made up 46% of new vehicle sales in France in May, matching the sales numbers of sedans in the country. PeugeotÂ’s banking on the fact that many people want the space and usability of a compact SUV but tire of the styling and ubiquity of the vehicle type. The fastback shape provides a more dramatic design look without completely sacrificing the characteristics that make SUVs so popular.  Peugeot offers a traditional SUV in the 3008, but the 408 is sleeker and more aerodynamic. The automaker says that the 408 “offers a feline stance and unique allure, engineering excellence focused on efficiency and intelligent electrification, as well as the emotions provided by cutting-edge technologies dedicated to driving pleasure and instinctive use." Two plug-in hybrid powertrains will be offered first, producing 180 and 225 horsepower. A standard gas model will also be available with a 130-horsepower engine. All variants get an eight-speed gearbox, and Peugeot says an electric model will come later. No Stellantis brand in the United States currently offers a purely electric vehicle.  Peugeot will build the 408 at its plant in Mulhouse, France, for the European market. The vehicle will go on sale early in 2023 and will later become available in China. Related video: Featured Gallery 2023 Peugeot 408 Green Green Dodge Citroen Crossover Future Vehicles
