Default Never thought I'd own a Hemi powered vehicle

Never thought I'd own a Hemi powered vehicle but I picked one up last night. My lil Jeep Cherokee Classic was just too uncomfortable & way too small compared to my Duramax crew cab dually I had before it. Getting another truck just didn't make much sense for me, and while I was really close to getting a Yukon, this is what I ended up with.

Actually, my birthday is coming up, I'll probably be throwing down pretty soon if you are interested in an invite, but it will likely be in Midtown. Maybe at Vintage if it's not too cold since my friend is head of security there & they always take good care of us, but we'll see where it goes down. Maybe at my friend Scott's in the Heights if he's up for hosting.

*edit* and yes, it's quite possibly one of my favorite shades of gray...I dig it! Rides smooth!

Just traded it in. If I kept it, it would be a $$ pit because I'd start lifting it, lol.

Yea, so the credit union didn't want to finance the note long enough for me to get my payments where I wanted them on the 300C, so my friend since junior high that works at Spring Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep started running the numbers on a new truck just to see what all the incentives would do for me....so, I ended up with a different Hemi powered vehicle. If you are interested, PM me, they have some good deals on the trucks, some pretty good incentives.

Best I could do shooting at night:







I love the way they french in the exhaust

Awesome! I think that truck is a WAY better vehicle to have than the 300C.

I've seen Spring Dodge advertising 45% off 09's. I drove my old 06 1500 off that lot for $10k under sticker price.

I like the truck MUCH better. Those new Dodges are nice, that is the truck to get if you are wanting a gasser.

Yes, I'm really digging the new body style. I thought the new Chevy's might grow on me, but i really don't care for them much. Plus Dodge finally made a decent cloth interior. I only have the 40/20/40 bench, but I think I like it more because it still has the arm rest, and has the under seat storage. And there were times when I had my crew cab Duramax that I had a fold up center front seat when trying to carry 6 people.

Plus, I grew up in trucks, that 300 would have looked funny loaded down going camping, or with a trailer hitch on the back for a bike rack, lol.

Sounds like you are wrong. I love the 300C's & 300 SRT8's which Will, the sales guy up there, used to have & I've driven on occasion. That's why I like them. But for me, a guy that goes camping, already has a fast car, likes to go ride my mountain bike, and do other stuff that requires hauling....the truck makes a lot more sense. They are totally different, but I never said I didn't like it. I just wish he worked at a Cadi dealership so I could get good deals on off lease CTS-V's lol. Ah well, I'm set for a while now, no more new cars unless someone wants to pay a pretty penny for my Trans Am, lol.
