Hey, it is other peoples money, who cares. /sarc.
Drunk Driving was much more prevalent back then, the days before MADD. I don’t blame the cars for that.
I said the same thing.
:D
Oddly, the Magnum was geared towards men but I fell stupid-faced in love with them.
Couldn’t afford one new but got a used one as soon as I could.
I can haul groceries, haul lumber, haul dogs and haul ass.
It’s perfect.
:)
You would love the Velocity Channel (Motor Trend) featuring ‘Grave Yard Cars’. Exclusively MOPAR muscle. Watching it now instead of Fox.
Amen to that.
In the time I’ve had it, all the suspension has been replaced, new cat, new exhaust, new windshield, a rebuilt motor dropped in and a low mileage tranny.
I need new headlights because the little clip thing fell off inside the sealed assembly and the right headlight shines up crazy in the fog.
They’re kinda pricey though so will have to wait.
I like that show
You can get very low priced Chinese knock offs from Amazon.
Ducking out now....
“They came up with a way to put a stop to the fun.
First, they made insuring a muscle car unaffordable. Then as now, it didn’t matter whether you – the specific individual – had ever wrecked your muscle car. All that mattered, premium-wise, was that someone else did.
You got the presumptive blame – and the actual bill.”
Ditto for the 2nd generation Chrysler Hemi engine. 426 cubic inches of dual quad, hemispherical combustion chambered goodness! Rated at 425 HP and 490 ft. lbs. of torque when it debuted in 1966, it was improved each and every year until it died in 1971...with not a single extra HP being added to its rating.
BTW, Pontiac engineers who were a bit ticked off that their invention, the GTO, was no longer top of the heap in performance devised the Ram Air V engine. Due to the equivalent of RINOs in GM management, it never saw a sale to the general public for use on the road, but was incredibly effective in drag racing. It was to be rated at 375 HP but, in reality, had over 500 gross HP! Note that the patents are all expired on this engine, and several companies make improved versions of this magnificent engine right now - and it is one of my bucket list items to buy a ‘69 GTO and do a resto-mod with a Ram Air V engine under the hood.
They don’t write songs about Volvos.
That’s about right.
Ford and Chevy are like McCain and Romney. Dodge is Trump.
Off-the-line performance......it’s not even close.....
Try some of the high-performance Tesla’s...The fastest production car in the world with 620 miles on a single charge...0-50 in 1.9s, 0-100 in 4.2 and 250+mph top speed.....

That’s the high-end performance Tesla but the sedans are damn fast as well...
Charging time has improved as well plus you can charge at home anytime you like.....Many gas stations, business parks, and retail locations have charging stations as well.....Charging time has shortened as well, to 1/2 charge is under an hour.....
Haha, love it!
Pardon, dual feed. It gets called a double pumper so often I just call it that myself.
The 390ci replaced the original 352 back in 2005-2006 and visually it’s identical to the original as it’s an FE block.
Wow, so sad......
I’ll pass this along! Thank you!
Myself, I never paid attention to the Magnum until my friend bought one late last year.
In a small northern Michigan town, that was pretty much the only night time entertainment on weekends.......
Find someone old enough to buy us alcohol then go party out in the woods someplace or the beach or just drive around.....
Okay, Volvos don’t deserve to have songs written about them. :>)
It was awful.
The less drunk one killed the drunker one.
I never knew what happened to the survivor.
None of us knew them.
It’s all about the “woo”.
[I’m not allowed to “woo” very often because you can watch the gas gauge drop like a rock...but it’s so much fun]
