So you're speaking for everybody now? Interesting. When the Dodge Charger came out as a four-door in 2006 I thought it wouldn't sell for crap, seeing as I grew up with Chargers being two-door...

Beautiful SS. Love the color. Congrats on the purchase. My 2016 1SS M6 is the most reliable car I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot, and it's an awesome sports car. Put a smile on my face every...

Interesting article from 2025 about GM from Forbes that dives into GM killing it in sales and profits, and even dives into EV stats.

But it is Forbes, and it's probably "fake news." :doh:

Yeah, it is really worth it with the complexity of vehicles today. I keep my cars a long time, and this last time it paid off luckily, with no issues whatsoever on my claims. Great company.

I had around, I think it was, in the low 80,000 miles on my 2016 M6 1SS and wanted to extend it to be safe. The dealer wanted almost $5,000. I took a hard pass. But it was my daily and no garage...

But, obviously, not the post of the "political commentary" I actually replied to, which is quite telling, seeing as my post was deleted.

I got rid of my 2016 SS with around 115k miles, but I went through my credit union. It was Route 66. I think I put it on at around 80k, but it only cost me if memory serves around 2300k. It was...

Sure thing. That was one thing that surprised me is when the turbo kicks in at low speeds it gets up quick. It drops off fast, though, at 40. Would be a great car for winter, even without the AWD...
