Swapped For a Charger
 
1 Attachment(s)
This morning I handed over the FRS keys and drove away in a slightly used 15 Charger SXT.
Could have had white or black but chose the black one.
Let me tell you, this thing commands respect on the highway. Whenever I pull out to pass everybody in front of me moves over and slows down and not one single car went past me on the highway (they all stayed about a 1/4 mile back).

Now I just have to find a good Mopar forum to hang out in.

That's because everyone thinks you're law enforcement lol.

I am sure the short hair, mustache and dark blue shirt didn't help change that thought even when I passed them and they saw me.

Didn't rent a car for vacation. Was in Vegas and if you think I was driving there you are nuts.

Ontario plate pic taken at the highway rest stop on the way to work (at Tilbury to be precise for those that know the region).

Ya, it could be read that way!

I rented one of the new Chargers for a company trip. Not a bad highway cruiser at all. My buddy owns one from before the refresh, 2012 I think.

I'm pretty sure we're still going to be seeing Mr. Flanders on this forum though.

The thing drives like you are in your living room. So soft and squishy and quiet.

JellyForSale 06-29-2015 11:51 AM

2 door to 4 door? Do I sense a baby Flanders on the way?

tyrantcf 06-29-2015 11:51 AM

Is this real life?

Very true. I was going 80-85mph keeping up with traffic leaving Houston, and it was very smooth and quiet. It drove me nuts with how squishy felt around town, but that's the trade-off.

strat61caster 06-29-2015 12:12 PM

I can't even come up with anything mildly amusing for fear of this actually being true.

Jond63 06-29-2015 12:13 PM

Nice! You got the two year itch just like me, huh? :)

soulreapersteve 06-29-2015 12:26 PM

I thought you were going to give the FRS to one of your family members in a few years, unless I'm mistaking you for another forum member.

This is either one of the best troll posts I've seen or it's truly legit.

Damn you, Tcoat! *shakes fist angrily*

jamies31 06-29-2015 12:36 PM

I dunno the lack of tire shine and no dealer plate frames looks to much like it just came out of a quick rental car clean up to go to the next customer,
Not all candles burn as bright as others but I sure as hell hope yours isn't burning that dim and this is a troll post haha

WhiteFRS69 06-29-2015 12:37 PM

Ahhhh but what about the lack of the big no smoking stickers that rental places slap all over the cars?

Hey not a troll! Just can't stand the lack of power that those weak engines have anymore. Was looking for a nice Civic but they didn't have one. You fan boys just don't know a good car when you see one.

Actually yes some of us do. But not in the Charger it is just too nice.

drewbot 06-29-2015 12:53 PM

so who wants to start up a fund so we can buy @Tcoat's FR-S and keep it in some FT86club museum?

I'll drive to London

torqdork 06-29-2015 01:05 PM

@Tcoat, I understand. Everyone should own at least one Italian car.

Reality check, I can't troll about driving a grocery getter having flogged this through twisty, scenic back roads in NorCal the past few weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed being stealth while using the V-6 torque and surprising every sporty car encountered. Except while searching out back roads when I stumbled into a 20-mile dirt stretch connecting 93 to 49, designated for high-clearance vehicles only and got surprised looks from a couple of CJ trail blazers. The car managed it well but was prolly 20 lbs. heavier afterward from dirt crust.

Oh sure, now you throw that out as an option.

RockRoll 06-29-2015 01:55 PM

Tcoat,

Did you get an 8 cyl with AWD?
