And if you live in the salt belt and k10 burb's don't exist without serious cancer, I highly recommend a GMT400 platform truck/burb/hoe.
Why didn't it merge

Yeah Ontario is known to salt cars to death. I had rust murder 2 cars of mine.
[QUOTE=Del91;51463143]If you're walking across the highway at night and get hit by a car it might as well be considered suicide. There should be zero pedestrians on the highway.
Like 6 months ago, some poor bastard hit a jogger on the freeway at like 2am. That same poor bastard had hit another pedestrian on the freeway under the same circumstances like 2 years ago. Both times he was not at fault.[/QUOTE]Well I agree but at the same time it they're doing it frequently on that freeway, the council needs to look into a pedestrian bridge.

Ah, what could have been. I don't know if this is photoshopped or if there's a real 2 door charger concept kicking around somewhere but I like it and would have loved to see these on the road. Over time I've come to like the 4 door Chargers but it still feels weird to not even [I]offer[/I] a 2 door version of a car bearing the name of arguably the most famous 2 door muscle car of all time.[/QUOTE]If it's fake, it would be likely to be a 3D render than photoshop as the lighting looks right.
Reminds me of Coupe 60, a holden concept:

Never went into production, but that prototype is definitely real.
This one isn't:

sill cool though
There seems to be a reluctance for car companies to produce coupes these days, not sure why.

Coupe Charger would eat into the Challenger's market, it's really that simple. If people could have got a Challenger with less ugly styling with a functional rear seat and interior it would have ruined it. Not to mention aren't Chargers cheaper than a Challenger too?

How would I, who knows nothing about the technical things of cars, tell if something is on a GMT400 chassis? Is there a list?
[QUOTE=butre;51462845]generally nothing but you should do some preventative maintenance like changing the spark plugs, belts, air filter, fuel filter, maybe the pcv, and timing belt if it's got one. it's a good time to go ahead and inspect the suspension and replace any worn shocks or ball joints, replace the tires and brake pads, and do an alignment too.
also top off all the fluids and maybe do a full coolant flush if your coolant isn't the color its supposed to be
doing it all at home should cost you like $400 by US prices not including brake pads and tires because those vary massively and may have been recently replaced anyway.[/QUOTE]Doesn't sound too bad. I was considering buying something like this:

the average driver has a declining interest in sports cars/coupes, especially with low gas prices and the recently depressed economy. that's not even mentioning the fact that younger people aren't interested in cars at all (record amounts of unlicensed people)

the reason charger hellcats are so popular is because it's a 4 door hoon machine.
they'd also have never come out with the new challenger if they did a 2 door charger

But what made people in the '60s '70s and '80s willing to buy them?
Honestly, spending the ~$20,000 I did on my Cruze was hard to swallow for me. I've been looking at a Camaro SS or a Scat Pack/TA next but these prices hurt my head for these cars.

New or not I just can never see the justification on spending $20000 on a vehicle that'll be worth $5000 in 7 years or so. Higher end cars are always a better investment.
Maybe look at older SRT8 chargers/300C/grand cherokee because they'll be in the same price area instead of a brand new one

In my opinion it depends on how you treat the car, if it's well taken care of people will pay the price. I'm not sure wht you mean by 'High end', I don't thing any normal people like us could afford a Ferrari or Lambo in our lifetime, they're built for Kanye to crash.

Sprinter van? Or import a Mitsubishi van from Europe?

I'll probably only have the car for at max 18 months, and I need it asa I have an 80 mile round trip commute currently. If I can cut that down to a better commute I'll get a truck again or a muscle car. Also really interested in a M2, but dem maintenance costs tho... :v:

I assume that's one of the antenna cables, and that it's a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable"]coaxial cable[/URL].
It's definitely fixable by someone who knows their way around a soldering iron and heat-shrink tubing, so it's not the end of the world (or the transmitter) but still a bummer if you're not well versed with soldering cables together.

You're right about it being a antenna cable
I wouldn't mind much if I got it second hand of a site that sells second hand stuff, Now I paid full price for a broken product thats supposed to be mint and that makes me quite sad/mad
And I waited all week to install it and now I cant :(
Same thing happened to me, first was DOA. Bought a similar item from a different seller and it was fine. Such is Chinese wholesale.

I did a 104 mile round trip commute to work during the summer in my 1986 S-Class, and I had no issues aside from wallet lightness after visiting the gas pump 2-3 times a week. With that being said, I think just about any properly maintained car can go as far as you want, when you want. At the end of the day I don't necessarily see why you 'need' a car that you will have for "at max 18 months", but that's just my personal opinion. More power to you if you found having a car payment to be more viable than driving an older car.
