Intrepidation

I probably owe about $1,000 or so in medical expenses My girlfriend owes $1,100-$2,000 It's not horrible but until we've got meaningful income we can't pay it off...$500 a month in car insurance+$400 in misc. bills on crappy jobs makes that hard. My school debt is something to the tune of $40,000 The irony of college is that the entire point of it is to get a higher education so you get get a career that pays well enough so you can live a comfortable life...but as soon as you get out you're up to your neck in debt...mostly from the very institution went went to to be able to obtain a higher paying job. With the job market the way it is there's not even a guarantee that you'll get one right out of college, or anytime soon after.

That doesn't appeal to me either but I know what you're saying.

That's funny..they actually did less than I thought. I figured the rear quarter stampings had changed for the new tail lights, but the shape is exactly the same, the difference is just the plastic bumper comes up further to create the new tail light shape.

That's all well and good, but there's still something that kills it for me: the looks...namely the proportions.

Don't forget the H3 SUT, Challenger, or Ram...nothing interesting, exciting or important.

That's not saying much. Also, good luck when the road gets twisty.

Yeah, `cuz nothing important debuted.

it would make sense if the revised the Viper formula, made it higher volume and emulate the way the Corvette is marketed. Have a base model, a middle one, and an ultra high performance one. Combine that with extra volume from a Chrysler platform mate that could be marketed as a sporty (but not as hardcore) luxury GT, and I bet a better business case could be made for the Viper.

Damn straight

?

Yeah but if the Viper dies so does part of the spirit of Chrysler...it stands for so much, like the Vette does for GM. I guarantee if this was the Vette being canceled there would be 5 pages with OH T3H NOES!!!!11 on them. Perhaps is Chrysler change tit's product portfolio on track before 2011 they'll be able to fun a new Viper.

Hmm...Mazda called and wants its design language back..again.

Here's one of my very own

I'll say, I love the black one.

Looks like an MCE of the old one.

You can tell they were passionate about this car. Chrysler should put this kind of passion into all of its cars, including the midsizers, but forget them for now, behold, the Challenger in action And to quote edmunds:

Oh I'll always stand by Mopar, but when they do something stupid I have no problem pointing it out (just like I have no problem pointing out GM, Ford, any Imports' stupid moves) I really can't wait for the EMCEs of the Avenger/Sebring...I hope they go all out and prove they can make great interiors (besides the Ram, which looks to have a very nice interior). Hope they work on the exteriors some too.

There's a video somewhere where one of those pwnz a Camaro. Anyway, here's a few interior shots:

Problem is, even with the Nav on teh top the controls for it are still at the bottom..it's not touchscrreen.

My favorite Nav setup was the one in the Pacifica.

I got home around 1):15 and listened to it off and on while my girlfriend watched and I worked on homework. I don't like these awards shows much and this further proves it. Most of the music they played was rap (that I heard) and also there was that guy Kanye West who is a douchebag.

VS I think that's the main reason why they never made much headway in the segment.

Nope, cuz I keep my cars. There are so many memories that are forged between us and our cars, I just can't see sending one off to some stranger or sending it off to th crusher, especially after years of faithful service. But I do miss the cars we did get rod of. We had a Dodge Aspen (we called it the "Green Bomber") I loved as a kid even though now I know they were crappy cars. It was a menacing machine. Someone tried to steal it once and ended up cutting themselves on the metal steering column and got blood all over it. After we sold it we later found out it was used in a bank robber. Wonder whatever happened to it. Von: if you guys miss it so much go and buy it back.

It's got 145,xxx miles on it. It runs very smoothly and seems to shift well, although we go easy with the tranny since they are pretty delicate (Besides, it's a big minvan, what would we do? Drag race? )...parking brake is on all the time since we live on a hill. I've snagged a couple of interior photos I'll post later tonight. I'll get more after I'm done cleaning it. The previous owner probably never cleaned the surfaces, so it's got years of dust and dirt on the surfaces. I went through 8 wipes of ArmorAll just cleaning the upper dash and top of the center console!

Not even the Challenger? Shame on you!
