2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, Part Three
2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, Part Three-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

You love America and everything it stands for. You break out in hives at the thought of restoring an old '71 Challenger, but still want to live life looking good, moving fast and bleeding red, white and blue. Your nickname was "Super Soul" or your last name is "Kowalski."

You hate America and everything it stands for. You are content living your life in a drab, vanilla coma, never once yearning to break free to live life the way it should be lived. You know, like it was thirty years ago. Also, you're a red commie liberal hippie who smells vaguely French. Comprendez-vous?

The 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country Is The Lifted Wagon For People Who Dream Of Standing Out
The 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country Is The Lifted Wagon For People Who Dream Of Standing Out
I’ll let you in on a little secret you might not know about: around here, we loooove wagons. We love the styling, the utility, the quirkiness and—most of all—how they break away from the SUV and crossover craze that has consumed American roads. The new is a lovely wagon, but...

I'm A Lawyer Who Needs A Sleek And Classy Ride For $25,000! What Car Should I Buy?
Tony is an attorney from Philadelphia who has been slogging around in his 2003 Accord with 140,000 miles so he can get his student loans in check. Now it’s time for an upgrade. He needs a good “lawyer” car, but not something too expensive or over the top. What car...

For $3,500, Could This Crazy 1979 VW Rabbit Cabriolet Make Everything Okay?
For $3,500, Could This Crazy 1979 VW Rabbit Cabriolet Make Everything Okay?
Whether it’s rabbit season or duck season, today’s VW Rabbit is one loony car-toon. Let’s see if the price on this bold mashed-up mid-enginer could make you even carrot all. Ah yes, the good old days; back when Three’s Company asked us all to knock on their door; you could...

For $10,500, Could This 1977 Buick Regal Have You Feeling Like Royalty?
For $10,500, Could This 1977 Buick Regal Have You Feeling Like Royalty?
Today’s Buick Regal is described as a one-owner car, a pretty amazing feat for a 40-year old ride. Let’s see if you could be anywhere near as devoted to its modern-day price. The Ford, and in America Mercury, Capri was named for the Isle of Capri which lies in the...

The 2017 Lexus IS 200T Is Way Better Than Just A '3 Series Fighter'
The 2017 Lexus IS 200T Is Way Better Than Just A '3 Series Fighter'
Stop calling a compact luxury sports sedan that isn’t a BMW a “ fighter.” There really are such things as sports sedans that aren’t from Bavaria, and the current is one of them. Here’s why it’s more than just an also-ran, and why its new-for-2017 turbo four-cylinder engine makes it...

For $7,500, Could This 1985 ASC/McLaren Capri Get You To Go Topless?
For $7,500, Could This 1985 ASC/McLaren Capri Get You To Go Topless?
Today’s Mercury Capri is a McLaren, but not THAT McLaren. Still, it’s pretty unique and historically relevant, so let’s check it out and see if its price makes it the Mac Daddy. Yesterday’s looked like it could have been the subject of an old school Jethro Tull song—so rough and...
