OT: My new ride, Grocery Getter on Roids Options

[kckoch]

So back in 2002, I was at the Oralndo Car show, and Dodge had a couple of concept cars. One that knocked me on my feet was their station wagon with the hemi.

Today, we all know this as the Magnum, and although I enjoy driving my H1, I couldn't help but be drawn to the SRT line from Mopar. Packing 425hp out the door, a couple of enhancements and your screaming fast.

My birthday was Friday, and after about a year of concentrated full tachtical discussions with my wife, I finally broke my wife's spell, walked into a dealer, and purchased the Dodge Magnum SRT-8.

I'm sure I will get flack for buying a Dodge, and even more for buying a station wagon, but this car is fun. I drove across the state over the weekend, and got caught behind 9 cars driving 55 in a 60. One tap of the pedal, and "whoosh" passed all 9 and hit 140mph without waking up my wife sleeping in the passenger seat.

Magnums have not done well on the lot's, in-fact you can still find 0 mile 2006 Magnum SRT-8s at dealers. Aside from my 914/6, everyday cars are typically a losing investment, so who cares about re-sale value, this car is fun!

Let the teasing commence!
