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.

Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries

Tue, Oct 19 2021

SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann Â— who will chair the new group Â— said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
