Chargers are such beauties, as lomg as they're not heavily cosmetic modded. I wish they had fallen in budget whem I was looking for a car.
does it have the racetrack taillights? those things are beautiful.

Looks great Jeff. I'm assuming it's the V6 and the 8 speed auto?

Congrats on the promotion and the degree as well!

Love those things. And I will admit, I have purposely followed one at night time just to gawk at the taillights...they're gorgeous and like nothing else on the road, lol. And that new 3.6L is impressive....how many other cars of that size offer nearly 300 hp and 31 mpg?

Very nice!

I obviously didn't base my purchase on gas mileage! :lol:

The V6 Chargers are supposed to be pretty good too though!

I like! I love the taillights on those! Normally I would say it needed the factory spoiler, but for some reason I don't mind the lack thereof on your car.

Yeah, I'm still not sure if i like it better with or without the spoiler.

Clearly. and honestly i havent seen particularly good gas mileage on this vehicle. better than the ssei, but nowhere close to the impala (which makes sense, given the difference in hp...)

My first thought when I saw this car was 'NCIS'!

Great looking cars these. I prefer the current model Charger to the 2006 shape.
