Hey guys.......
Some of you know that in March my '00 Dodge Intrepid (my daily driver) had a surprise engine failure (it appears that some gunk, chunk of gasket, who knows...) clogged an oil passage to the main bearings and the engine seized up.
)
Of course it happend at a bad time (no time & no money and a heavy work load at the office) so I was rushed into replacing the car. My wife partially talked me into a low-mileage Pontiac G6 GT, fully loaded including leather, sunroof, and "Monsoon Stereo".
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time so I went for it only to realize later that the seats have no lower back support, the stereo sounds like dog
and the brake system has some typical GM quirks.
Well I seriously missed my Intrepid even though the G6 was faster and handled better. I missed the size, comfort, and trunk space not to mention the 130,000 mile intrepid had NO squeeks or rattles and the G6 already had developed a few!
So I sought out a replacement! Almost bought a Charger R/T but with gas costs climbing and the high cost of insurance on the R/T...I picked THE BEST alternative! A Chrysler 300M Special! Essentially a factory built 300M hot rod! It has dual exhaust, 18" wheels w/Vette tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 245/45/ZR18 front and 255/45/ZR18 Rear) plus a host of other upgrades in the suspension, trans, engine, interior, stereo system, and exterior.
