Damn. I was hoping to get a ride in that Shelby someday. We live what? 3 hours apart??
Oh- don’t worry.   I still got you covered.  😉😎

Got any twisty roads near you Badge?

I am needing to travel around the state, more on business, and occasionally make it over near you.  Perhaps you’d like to sample the black wing on a twisty road or the SQ8which is well over 700 hp, but handles like a sports car, because both axles are motorized and the rear wheels also steer

I'm already saying I don't want even the base Dodge V8 and you jackwagons are recommending a $96,000 6.2L supercharged V8 with 668 HP?  For the sake of "handling?"

What the hell is wrong with you?
I have a disease.  I admit it.  

many men have a weakness. For some, it’s gambling. Others drinking. Perhaps women, or travel.  Mine is cars.

I'm not much for gambling, or international travel

I like cars a lot but they're definitely not my "thing." I'm just as happy driving my F150 as I ever was driving the sportier cars I had in high school/college. 

But I do still have my dream of owning a '65 Mustang convertible.  It doesn't have to be special, I don't need a Shelby or anything.  I guess I'd prefer the 289 but honestly I won't be driving it expecting any kind of performance.  I just think it's a beautiful car and I've wanted one since the first day I really understood what car ownership could mean.

Yeah I think the most likely car for my son is still the Dodge Challenger, and it will NOT be the V8 kind.  The other day he asked me, "Which is faster, Hellcat or Demon?" And I replied, "Neither one of us will ever know."

It'll be something like this-- looks tough, but just a 6-banger.

plenty tough enough



I passed a truck last week in western Nebraska with my 6-banger Impala
ran it up to about 125mph............was kinda surprised
Instead of mashing the pedal sometime in the future I decided to google the top speed of the 2017 Impala


 149 mph

Geeezzz!

Pretty much all straight roads over here.

I'd have a RED one but the nearest Mercedes shop is 90 miles away.   Just inconvenient

Under $100,000 MSRP, what's your best new sporty car available today?

"Best" is however you define it, track time, acceleration, fun to drive, nice combination of comfort and sportiness ...

(Oh, and you can't take a $30 K car and $70 K, no fair...)
