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. |

Chop the top of your new Dodge Viper for $35,000
Mon, 21 Jul 2014We have good news, and we have bad news. First, the good: It's now possible to get a brand-new Dodge Viper roadster, which is nice, considering we're in the dead of summer and many of us like wind-in-the-hair motoring. Now, the bad: This is not a factory option from the automaker, instead coming courtesy of an aftermarket company called Prefix Performance, and that means it's going to cost you some serious coin.
Called Medusa, this drop-top Viper was created without the knowledge or consent of Dodge, but that's probably fine because Prefix works with the automaker already for the final preparation of the American supercar, including paint. According to the company, the current, fifth-gen Viper was built with a convertible version in mind, so no chassis strengthening is required. From the looks of the somewhat grainy photos available, the conversion appears of very high quality.
Want one? Well, that means you're going to need to procure a Viper - Prefix has 10 units ready for transformation as it stands - and that's going to cost at the very least $102,485. Then, you'll need to write a check for an additional $35,000 for Prefix to surgically remove the car's roof. Thing is, for that kind of cash, a prospective owner could buy, among other very nice options, a Viper hardtop and a loaded Miata, or a Corvette Stingray convertible and several pockets full of change. Or, perhaps a new Viper hardtop and a used, first-gen Viper convertible?
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k
Wed, 16 Jul 2014We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.
