2005 Dodge Grand Caravan Sxt Mini Passenger Van 4-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
McCordsville, Indiana, United States
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. |

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
