The simple fact is that I couldnt afford to keep shelling out insurance deductibles over and over again every time something happened. This was after I had a semi-tire blow out and send the tread into the front of the car at 75 MPH (that was August, $1000 bucks gone of my share of a 2200 dollar repair) and before that after someone backed into the car and left it in a parking lot (again, $1000 of about 1900). That combined with new tires in Sept..I spent nearly $3000 in just repairs.
And yeah..I may regret this later, but oh well. Such is life, I had to do the right thing now.

Wouldn't you still be out over $3K if you had the Avenger? Sounds like it's insurance and not mechanical repairs so I don't understand why you trade a car in when you insurance deductible is to high?
Hate to see your Challenger go...I don't post lots here anymore but do read still and you seemed to have really liked that car! My wife wouldn't part with her SRT8 Challenger for nothing! It is nice...got to give it to Dodge!
Good luck with everything and hope to see you in a 392 down the road!
