Wow that looks great in black and white. I've always liked the look of the Charger better than the Challenger. Hopefully you can keep piling on the trouble-free miles.

Originally Posted by Lolvoguy Congrats on going V8. Once you do, you'll never want to go back to a V6 Unless you go from a 5.3L Ecotec to a 3.5L Ecoboost.

I had a 2001 S60 (bought new) with the inline 5. Sold it at 150k miles. The body and drive-train held up incredibly well. The only thing I had to replace was a water pump at 90k miles and shocks at 130k miles.

The best seat covers I've ever found are Wet Okole. They're not cheap but I think they're the best in the after market seat cover business.

I have Line-X Premium and it's great. I prefer spray in bedliners because I think they look better and they don't trap dirt/moisture. One thing to note is that Line-X prices are set by the installer so it's worth it to call around. I called all of the shops within an hour of me (a half dozen)...

Originally Posted by Black_Thunder I myself bought a new S240 John Deere last year. I made a compromise between the e-series and the x-series. I wanted a mower better then the e-series but I didn't want the briggs engine that the x330 has the S240 has the Kawasaki v-twin engine which is...

Out of curiosity, what kind of discounts does Jeep offer on Wranglers? $58k seems like a lot of dough for a Wrangler.

Nissan only made the Cummins powered Titan XD for a few years. It may become difficult to find parts. I don't own a Titan, but Car and Driver didn't particularly like their Cummins powered Titan: "We had a poor experience with a Cummins-equipped Titan XD during our long-term evaluation. Our...

Originally Posted by fsdork I've also had a Fenix PD35 for several years, and it's been great. I have the same light and have no complaints. It's bright, it works, and most importantly it has separate buttons for changing mode and on/off. I don't like lights that you have to cycle through all...

My F-150 is the first car I've owned with start/stop and I don't mind it at all. I took a trip to Germany 5 years ago and even all of the taxi cabs had start/stop. I think it's pretty reliable technology at this point.
