    Yeah, that would have to go. Luckily, the whole thing isn't cheetah print, so maybe I could just buy seat covers? Eventually, I'd remove it all. I'd keep the wheels and exhaust, though. Maybe lower it a little bit.

    I'm glad it still sorta looks like a Charger and not a generic modern sedan. You can still see the Charger elements in the bodylines and the grille.

    The look of the whole car screams "i have not be tendered by someone who cares". Now i dont know your work or financial situation, but trust me, that is not a car i would trust to go very far from a workshop. You'll need some money for it is what im saying. Find a car that hasn't had cheap and nasty accessories added... Or at least one with a more open engine bay. Now hows work going on the wagon?

    Yeah that happens, my friend's Impreza is also magnetic and one time it got attracted toward a guardrail while he was drifting in the snow, it totally wasn't driver error since he's basically a rally driver /s

    I was just typing out the description from the listing. I don't have a son.

    Yeah, I guess.
    I finished the carburetor for the Eagle (it probably works, haven't tested it yet), and now I need to work on the transmission and starter solenoid. I'd like to lift it about an inch, too, but it may seem low because the suspension is blown. I'd fix that first.

    Definitely the strangest passenger i've had, he was oddly enough very quiet

    So what's the weirdest passenger(s) any of you ever had?

    For a second I was wondering why you put him in the driver seat, then I remembered that you live in NZ. :rolleyes:

    Chrysler was bought by Fiat which became FCA Group, then they merged with PSA Group (Citroën, Peugeot, Opel/Vauxhall) and are now called Stellantis

    And now they're putting their headquarters in Amsterdam, Netherlands. You know, the place known for heavily limiting car use in favor of bikes or walking? Yeah, and keep in mind Stellantis owns one of the most obnoxiously American car companies out there. They're deliberately trying to kill off Dodge!

    Stellantis is possibly one of the worst things to happen in the car world. I mean, I don't want a Dodge that is actually a Fiat!

    As if Fiat is reliable. If you've watched King of the Hill you'd know that Fiat stands for Fix It Again Tony.
