I have been shopping for a car for several months and just this evening signed the papers on a 2014 Dodge Charger SXT with the 3.5L V-6 and 8-Speed transmission.

I wasn't prepared to like the Charger as much as I do, but it suits my needs well; it's a fast, roomy long-distance cruiser that can seat four clients/co-workers/strippers with enough trunk room for their luggage/sales kits/dead hookers. It gets reasonable gas mileage and is about $5000 - $7000 less than an comparable Impala. Plus, a little bird told me the dealers were in a sales war and trying to move as much inventory off the lot as possible., so I got a good price (almost $8000.00 off sticker.)

My friend's daughter is a painter and she hand-painted the Led Zeppelin IV logos on the rear side windows of her father's truck as part of his father's day present. I though about adding a similar touch to the Charger as a tribute to the Charger's past.

I was thinking about having her paint either a small Fratzog (Dodge's symbol in the '60s and '70s) or the Charger "Vector" emblem (used until the mid-70s) on the rear quarter windows.

This, for those of you unfamiliar with car emblems from 40 years ago, is the Charger 'vector' or 'arrowhead'

and THIS is a Fratzog:

What say ye, Opponauts?

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > The Old Man from Scene 24 07/09/2014 at 00:44

I don't think I could bring myself to buying a V6 Charger (especially knowing the Hellcat will be in that thing soon) but it's a nice car. Pictures are always welcome.

go with the Vector. Classy, stylish and understated, yet noticeable. One thing though, you have the 3.6L not 3.5L. they switched to the pentastar motor with the new body style. Should be closer to 300 HP, compared to mY pedestrian 250HP in my 10MY.

I say arrowhead, and instead of the window, do it on the D-pillar if you can!
