Maybe you’ve seen the craigslist ads for “MANly” trucks and Jeeps. Don’t fall for them!!! Anyone can throw down some hard earned cash for a vehicle. It takes a real MAN to drive around with a minivan-load of kids. You know who you are… you are not only endowed with the body parts to create offspring, but you have the MANliness to be a great dad who spends time with his family.

This MANly machine has been thoroughly tested by a whole flock of rugrats, and survived mostly unscathed for 133,000 miles. It is dark blue – a MANly color. No baby blue for you, my MAN.

It has a 3.8 Liter V-6. Any engine with a “V” is MANly. It runs just fine.

Speaking letters, this is an “SXT” version of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan… honestly I have no idea what “SXT” stands for but it sure sounds MANly. And a “caravan” is manly too… reminds me of a few rugged, enterprising families travelling westward in conestoga wagons. Picture yourself heading west in this modern-day conestoga wagon!

All windows, locks, and the rear and sliding doors are all POWER. Power is MANly, and YOU are in control of it! There is a thermometer so you can educate the kids about how cold or hot it is; and a compass so you don’t have to ask anyone for directions.

The stereo has a CD player AND a cassette deck. Impress the kids with your MANly 80’s heavy metal cassettes!

It has top-secret cargo bins. Some people call that Stow-n-go. I call it top-secret cargo bins. You can stash all your cool stuff on trips so nobody sees it or messes with it. You could probably stash a kid in there but that didn’t come from me. It’s amazing how those MANly engineers created all that space.

Or you can stash all five back seats in those top-secret cargo bins and have a cavernous space to haul all kinds of MANly things, like bunk beds for the kids, or a foosball or air hockey table. Foosball and air hockey are MANly.

You can also tow a pop-up camper with this machine; it’s equipped with a hitch, brake controller, and 7-pin and 4-pin wire connector. Because camping is MANly. You can have campfires when you go camping.

We’re only selling this MANly machine because my MANliness has outgrown it, requiring the ultimate… a FULL SIZE “SUPER DUTY” van! Maybe this Dodge will be the stepping stone you need to reach full-blown ultimate MANliness too.

I’ll take the MANLY price of $4321 - or negotiate with me, like a MAN.

FCA adds 88k Dodge Challengers to Takata inflator recall

Mon, Jul 13 2015

The Takata airbag inflator recall from FCA US is growing 88,346 vehicles larger in the US after the company's discovery of the faulty parts in the 2008-2010 Dodge Challenger. The affected examples have production dates between September 19, 2007, and October 29, 2010, and the coupes need the replacement components on the driver's side. According to chronology posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), the automaker was auditing the models covered under the campaign in July and "identified a population of vehicles that was inadvertently excluded." Initially, FCA believed these cars were using an unrecalled Takata inflator. The audit revealed that the affected cars indeed used a recalled version. As with the rest of the faulty parts, exposure to moisture can cause them to ignite too quickly during an airbag deployment and spray shrapnel at occupants. The problem has been linked to at least eight deaths worldwide and a vehicle fire in Japan. The Challenger wasn't previously part of FCA's 3.3-million unit national campaign or the subsequent expansion. According to FCA US the parts to complete the repairs in these Challengers aren't currently available. However, owners will be notified of the issue by mail starting August 14. They will receive a second notice when the parts become available.

The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture. CONSEQUENCE: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. Parts to remedy the vehicles are not currently available. Interim notices will be mailed to owners beginning August 14, 2015.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
