Is that the comedian with the puppets?

Yup. He's a big car guy, especially weird stuff.

^^^ Yes. Buds w/ Leno too

Hey, can someone dub in the ASPCA "In The Arms of the Angels" soundtrack to the Hornet commercial? It makes the Hornet leading the pack of Hellcats soooo much funnier. I would totally pay to watch that!!!!

The ASPCA has become a household name through its tear-jerking commercials showing images of abused dogs and cats in need of help with Sarah McLachlan singing a sad song in the background.

Like any charity, make sure you know who is getting your donation and what they are doing with it:

ASPCA gives 2% of budget to pet shelters while 'hoarding' millions: think tank (nypost.com)

Yeah. I hate those kinds of "charity thieves".

Yeah, that shit really pisses me off !!! I run a small rescue & ppl bitch all the time about our adoption fees (typically under $200), call us greedy etc. etc. Yet they'll donate to these big places where the officers have huge salaries (some over $1M) & 50% or more of the $$ donated go back into ads like that to raise more. We do pay the kennel staff, but officers & board members get zip !

Data from Strategic Vision shows that current Dodge Charger and Challenger owners are substantially more likely to reject EVs than the average car buyer. Its latest survey of some 350,000 car owners suggests that 16% of U.S. drivers intend for their next car purchase to be electric. For Challenger owners, it’s just 5%. Among Charger owners, it’s a paltry 4%.

I’m a hard no full stop. I got a survey from Dodge asking would I a consider buying an EV. Same response as above.

I just bought a v8 hemi. I’m pretty sure there’s hundreds of thousands of the 5.7 hemi produced. Will always be able to get parts. Can’t go to the you pull it and get an EV battery pack

I didnt know that, that’s cool

Had an interesting convo with Dodge and they'll let me test a Hornet R/T Hybrid for the week for an unbiased review. I've probably trashed the Hornet the most on YT over the past year and I just got stranded in D.C. last week on the side of the highway with the Pacifica Hybrid.

I'll give the Hornet R/T, the worst selling vehicle in America, a shot. I wish they had the GLH variant available but they said the government has the Hornet classified as a pickup truck and not SUV for some reason but need to get that resolved before the Hornet GLH is offered.

I believe he has an unrestored low mileage white Yugo!
Found the clip from Jay Lenos garage episode

I'd be happy to buy & drive a GLH like this if they fixed one up or started producing them again but they'll never get me into a Hornet (aka Alpha POS).

I mean I'll try it for the low cost free. I sat in a Hornet R/T at Barrett Jackson and it a very good interior. Not a lot of storage space and for some odd reason they decided to have this part of the window open with the door and I almost hit my face with it

 

[MikeD1]

A booby trap ? Durango's have one, the edge of the racetrack lights (the part attached to the Qtr panel) is like a damn knife & will take a chunk out of your arm if you're not careful !!

What is the thing in green, some sort of 'wingete' for the tacked on fender flairs ??

Oh, that's one of the new optional High Impact paint colors: HyperGlycemicCatPiss . You should see the SkidMarxBrown and RegurgiaGreen they have, too. What's the quote from Family Vacation about the Wagon Queen Family Truckster in Metallic Peat? "You think you hate it now, just wait til you drive it!"

I saw one at the dealer today, $42k+!!!!!

That's one of the lower priced ones! I had my wife's Charger in for warranty service a couple weeks ago (120,000 miles and it needed the oil filter/cooler housing on the 3.6 replaced) and they had a black Whorenet on the showroom floor with a $57,000 window sticker!!! Nuts!

Yeah, the one I saw had no options. I considered taking a pic of the sticker, but I didn't think it worthy.
