(That sounds so wrong)
the car is "fixed", so to speak, had it towed and as usual, my tech inserted key, hit the button and it started right up.
There is definitely something wrong, but it is very intermitant, and kills the car at odd times - I suspect a problem with the wiring harness, but until I can get it to repeat, I'm not committing to the Dragon. I just couldin't take another week of sitting at a stealership, being ripped off, while y'all run the roads. So for the next couple of weeks, I'm ring out the car as a daily driver. Stranded 17 mile from home at work is preferable to being stranded halfway between PA and the Dragon. sincerely,

iNDEED! -
After a six month hiatus, I'm really feeling the S2K urge - got on I-80 this morning, and politely wound up my car to 9k, through the gears, by the time I hit 6th and reached what I thought was standard cruising speed, I glanced down at the speedo as it hit triple figures -
Had to back off fast and recalibrate my senses a little - It is just amazing how fast you get there with 354 horse tugging at the rear wheels. Now if I can keep it running the next couple of weeks, without major issues - I'll register and make the run through the Dragon with those horses for the first time.

Not sure, but it does look like the piece of Dodge crap I rented. Big heavy car with small disks, tall gears,, and loosey handling. I suspect the cop car version is much more road worthy, and it was nice having the slow moving cars pulling over to let me by.

Am I the only one who sees this?
Liking the avatar of the American Eagle though!
Have a nexting pair of eagles in the swamp a couple of hundred yards from my office. Our CEO has a telescope focused on the nest. Hope to see some young eaglets this spring!
