Thank Goodness Mopar Provided Me This Holiday Gift Guide-September 2024

Buying gifts is hard, especially when it’s socially mandated that you do so, like during the holidays. What do my family members want for the holidays? I don’t know. I could probably find out if I asked them, but I’m not going to ask them, because that may ruin the surprise despite it being no surprise that the holidays are coming up and we’re all getting each other gifts. Ugh!

That’s why I’m so thankful for Mopar, which, without me even asking, provided the only I could ever need. Thank you, Mopar.

See, I was just sitting here at work, thinking about how it’ll be 2020 in less than three weeksand how I’ve made no progress on the actual buying of holiday gifts, only progress on stressing myself out about buying holiday gifts. That’s when, like a holiday-themed angel falling from the sky, Mopar arrived to save the day with this handy little guide:

At first, I wasn’t convinced. Mopar suggested things like “T-shirts” that begin at $13.95,or a $309.95 “Mopar guitar.” It offered Jeep performance parts for the “off-roader who’s been extra nice this year,” or “peace of mind” with a Mopar Vehicle Protection warranty. (Who wants a warranty for the holidays?)

I was beginning to feel hopeless. This did not look like it would have my ever-elusive answers to what everyone wants for the holidays, which I, again, could get by simply asking. I would be a holiday failure once again this year.

But that’s when I saw it: the final entry on the Mopar gift guide, which was well worth the wait. They truly did save the best for last.

That! That was it! The answer I was looking for—a Hellcat crate engine, capable of giving each person in my family a standalone Hemi with 707 horsepower and worlds of possibilities for only $20,215! Why didn’t I think of it before? This was in front of me all along.

How could I have been so naive?

A Hellcat crate engine for each parent and sibling. A Hellcat crate engine for my uncle, who always tells me I’m smarter than he is even if I’ll never be nearly as successful. (Smarts are what counts!) A Hellcat crate engine for my estranged aunt, who was always kind of a bitch anyway. Hellcat crate engines for the in-laws, who will surely make use of them immediately. (Who wouldn’t?) Hellcat crate engines for little Jimmy and Timmy and Jane, who can swap out their Barbie Jeeps for big-kid Jeeps. A Hellcat crate engine for the White Elephant office party, since I misread that the limit is $20 instead of $20,000. Hellcat crate engines without gift tags for the stockings, in case I missed anyone.

Where would I be without these plans Mopar gave me? Fretting, in a corner, about how to explain to my entire family that I wasn’t sure what they wanted for the holidays, to which they would all respond, “Why didn’t you just ask?”

I have been saved from annual damnation, all thanks to the Mopar gift guide. And to think, I only had to spend $20,000 per person to do it.

For $950, Could This 1974 Mazda RX4 Wagon Be The Barn Find Of The Century?
The seller of today’s Mazda RX4 says it has been in storage since all the way back in 1982. Let’s see if its present condition and price are enough to warrant waking up Rip Van Wankel. Peas in your carrots are okay, right? Just as is peanut butter in your...

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...

The 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Is A Supercar-Slaying Parts Bin Special Daily Driver
I’ve always had a love hate relationship with the . Long before I was old enough to start a 911, let alone drive one, I had dreams about racing them, the monster 935 slant nose turbo ones being my favorite. Years later, driving license in hand, I got a chance...

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 $40,000, Could This 1987 Lada VFTS Rally The Troops?
It sure seems like Russia has been winning a lot of late. If you want to get on that winning team then maybe today’s Lada VFTS will be the way to go. That is, if its price isn’t a loser. That’s what I’m talking about! Yesterday’s may have been down,...

Lynk & Co Won't Do Model Years, Dealers, Or Maybe Even Sell Cars At All
Lynk & Co’s philosophy is, in many ways, the diametrical opposite of gearheadom: they feel that people who will want their cars won’t care about what’s under the hood, how fast it will go, or even if they’ll actually own the car or not. , so there won’t be, say,...
