  1. Recently had my car detailed.

     

    I was initially satisfied with the work, but unfortunately soon realized that the guy had waxed over the (less than a week old) vinyl stripes on the car, leaving a dull waxy film on them, complete with swirl marks from the buffer on the hood stripe.

     

    Anyone have any ideas what might work to remove the wax from the stripes?

  2. Been there. 8 years ago my sister, yeah my sister, screwed me out of $250K. I let it slide but our relationship was never the same. Sometimes you have to say fuck money and try to move past it.

     

    You have the ability to let a quarter of a million dollars "slide"? You must make Gandhi look like Mike Tyson.

     

    I salute your inner chill, Dude.

  3. The Challengers are big cars. Whether that is an asset or not depends on your perspective.

     

    I've actually had 2 grown adults in the back seat, comfortably for more than 20 minutes. Granted they're vegetarians, but still, I don't think that can happen in a GT or SS. Also, The trunk is positively cavernous. Which comes in handy when hauling groceries or the occasional dead hooker.

     

    Some people like big. Khufu wasn't concerned with weight, and his project turned out OK.

     

    For me, I can sleep soundly knowing Mopar now looks down from atop Mount Muscle Car Olympus.

  4. Pavement weight warning. I'm pretty sure 2 lenox parking spots side by side have a combined weight limit of 8,000lbs. You'll need to separate those 2 vehicles...

     

    I took the spare and jack out of the trunk. We're good.

  5. Ok I finally got a Saturday off. What is the best time to get there? Look forward to meeting everyone.

     

    I'll park right beside you bro. And I won't mention to anyone that mine's faster.

     

    OK, almost nobody. I might mention it a few times.

  6. Let's just say it's gonna take a deep 4 to beat the sonoma. Not that I know anything. or that I'd be on the 614 list.

     

    Running a twin turbo set-up won't get it done, apparently. Dude should rename his car "Murdered Nova". Guy gets beaten more often than The French Army.

     

    That truck is crazy fast.

  7. Jersey shore, Kardashians, & Miley Cyrus's twerk attention campaign were also overwhelmingly popular.

    Not hating on the car, but popular vote hardly indicates it's a great product.

     

    Perhaps not, but it does indicate popularity itself. I would imagine most automobile manufacturers strive for popularity.

     

    I'm sure they will sell every last one at a serious markup.

     

    Insha'Allah.

  8. Anyone watch the season premier? That's one fast GTO.

     

    I use the term "GTO" in its loosest possible connotation. Not much original to that car, I would think. The kid with the older race Camaro that got beaten by the daily driver 5.0 came across as a punk.

  9. I saved for almost 4 years to pay cash for my Challenger. I had the money to purchase a GT, SS, was even looking at a used Shelby convertible.

     

    In the end, I purchased the Challenger because it was a bigger car, and Dodge absolutely nailed it in the looks area for these cars. Very evocative of the originals, yet still very high-tech (when optioned as such).

     

    Is it heavy? Yes. Yes it is. Do guys in 5.0 Mustangs and SS Camaros drive faster and lighter cars? Yes. Yes they do. But I don't think they drive cooler cars. Now, that's just my personal opinion.

     

    Anyhow, I weigh like 290. So weight to power ratio wasn't tops on my list. Drove it two summers bone stock, never felt it was underpowered.

     

    Always going to be faster cars out there. I stopped into Dyno Tune Motorsports yesterday and watched a Victory Red ZL1 Camaro 'vert put over 550 HP to the rear wheels. And it was stock except for a CAI. And a tune, of course. Sounded like a shuttle launch.

     

    If they wouldn't rape me like Justin Bieber in Lucasville on the trade in, I would consider it.

     

    But they would.
