Bingo, they are not even expensive or rare cars, plus they are made to be driven

Good point

Also i just throw some winter tires on my car personally and im good to go. Prefer being in my car then some few hundred dollar beater

Thats like saying " Dog **** doesnt look as bad as cat ****" or something in that effect. I still respect that its somewhat quick stock but i still think dodge has made some of the worse cars of the decade

Oh, so you posted an article from today yesterday? Awesome. What are tonight's powerball numbers? lol

He was posting the update to the article. Yesterdays article that you posted was the initial sighting, todays was a follow up mentioning the second sighting from the LS1tech member and posting his story. Although, maybe the other person didn't see the article you posted, but I was going to post it just for the LS1tech shout out to the OP haha.

Ahhh, for some reason his link took me back to the original link. I didnt see the shoutout until I went on AB on my own. Pretty funny though.

I would like to point out also that the I4 base Journey weighs 3800lbs...

I'm sure anything is possible, but it sounds pretty damn lame.

Exclamation

if no one's going to do it, i'm throwing the flag in.


pics of said 12.90 car...

no offense to the OP or anything, but none of his posts are related to his FBody and he seems like a chryco. fanboy, at least for the challenger.

I hope the multiples of $1000.00 dollar bills are worth a 10th of a second. (The caddy costs significantly more and has done much worse in long term quality tests ((go figure)) )

Life is good, being a civilian is a lot better than I thought it would be. We don't get much snow on this side of Washington so mine doesn't see it often and if it does its parked.

I, unfortunately, am responsible for that article: I'm Tracy, as in: "Thanks for the tip, Tracy!" Wish I would have known he was a troll beforehand... I just assumed his Blizzacks against a hopped up AWD explained it- assuming it was hopped up enough. Sorry fellas, but at least I got the forum a bunch of hits from outsiders! ... some of which are already posting Camaro verse Ferrari kills. lol

I don't know if the OP is a troll, but I don't buy for a second that a pre-production, hopped up mini-van, beat a 12 second car with little effort.

to those comments about some people say their ride has never seen rain...lol i find that funny. I used to work for a dealership, and rain or shine those transfer trucks deliver...whether its your vette, T/A, Camaro whatever...i used to laugh my *** off at the soon to be owners of brand new vettes that would have sticker marks that would be dirty from rain and dust that just came brand new off a truck.

For sure. Well that's good life is treatin' ya well. I would maybe drive mine if it wasn't -30* all winter and tons of snow. But my car would be **** in more than an inch of snow haha. Hell with my tires when it's 40* i can't keep them from spinnin' until after 80mph.
