Default Quick, Funny story

I'm at the Ford dealership this morning getting new wheels on the wife's EDGE.

A nice black challenger pulls up to the service bay... I hear the service rep talking to the wife as the husband stays inside the car. Went something like...

"We understand you think the car feels sluggish... we checked the air flow, fuel pressure..." (sounded like they didnt have a solution)

Theres a very good chance its legit. I just thought it was funny and had a lot of sarcastic thoughts I wanted to say. e.g. "Should've bought a real HEMI."

I'd like to see others sarcastic comments...

Ha. I've never heard that one.

I'm not sure which version it was. I just saw "HEMI" decal on hood.

Why is a Challenger at a Ford dealership, and as it sounds, for service?

Agreed that it was odd for a Challenger to be at a Ford dealership....but onto the sluggish car. I've driven an SRT-8 Challanger 6 speed a few times now. It does "feel" sluggish, but I know better and understand that it's moving pretty good. My stock '98 "feels" faster, but I know it's not. It's hard to explain, but it's just a newer, more solid car and you don't feel the speed like in our cars.
