Sounds terrible.


It's not really that bad since I'm not a big guy. It fits me just fine. I'm not really concerned with comfort for the folks that ride in the back. :shrug: Shouldn't have gotten themselves there in the first place.

The more I drive it the more I get used to the different view. I haven't made my final decision on whether or not I like it yet. Maybe another month or so. But it won't matter because I'm stuck in it regardless. I'll make due.

I wonder how tough the Chargers are when they take them through the medians, that has to be tough on the cars.

Guilford County in NC just purchased 39 Chargers to replace their Crown Vics.

Good vids, the only thing throwing me off is the 3.7 V6 in the Explorers? Either the police versions get a better motor, or that's a typo because I'm 100% certain they are only available with the 3.5 V6 and later a 2.0 I4 Ecoboost motor?

It was implied. If you are going to attempt to back peddle you should offer an explanation of your original statement. :shrug:

his charger was in the shop getting a centri blower(dont ask me what one idk) and i was in canada without my car.. he needed a car because he likes to patrol an old wwII govt highway runway that kids like to race on. he asked to borrow mine for a week.. he retired from his original department then became chief of another.. now hes thinking about going to a bigger department..

And just where does all this take place? I'd love to see a police Charger with an aftermarket blower on it paid for by a government agency with a small dept. that has this extra money to spend when most agencies can't even afford to pay salaries or buy new cars. That's a drive I'd be willing to make in a heartbeat! :bs:

Monster Mach...it would be in your best interest to quietly step away from the thread.

Someone needs to take away his shovel. His BS hole is big enough already.

I've noticed that since the BS meter started to hit the "uh oh, I'm getting called out " mark, he hasn't posted back in this thread.
