We finally sold that orange Charger

[ViPER1313]

A car that gets SUV mileage, requires premium and is slapped with a gas guzzler tax of 2100 dollars on top of the purchase price strikes me as retarded considering the inevitability of 4 dollar gas. The real kick in the balls is the auto only option which sucks when you have such a crazy ass engine to play with. For the price he paid, he could've gotten a new TL, E46 Bimmer, CTS, any number of vehicles. Even a 505 bhp corvette gets 26 miles to the gallon.

As of right now, it get 9-11 miles to the gallon. According to him, if he pussy foots it, he can get up to 15-16. Give me a break.

People who buy expensive powerful cars really don't care about gas mileage. My father's SUV gets 17mpg in straight highway driving with no AC usage. When I asked him why he doesn't get rid of it considering the price of gas (plus the fact its a slow ugly POS) he said "you don't buy a yacht if you can't afford to put gas in it." He really couldn't give a shit that it gets 17mpg - he likes the car, and the price of gas doesn't dip into his life style in the least.

Besides that, the Charger is a very unique looking modern V8 muscle car - people looking at buying one really don't cross shop Acura and BMW. A CTS and a Vette also cost way more than a charger.

Glad you finally sold it Jeff 8)
