We had many good times, may you provide as much enjoyment to the next guy.

I sold the Charger yesterday and feel a little better about not having 3 car payments but overall, I will miss that awesome piece of budget-power. I had forgotten just how much power that thing had until I went to drive it to the meetup and tapped the gas pedal just a little too much and sent the tires spinning. And of course immediately sent it into Stability Control (limp) mode. It’s almost comedic how Chrysler decided to treat traction control before. If any wheel spin is noticed while turning, the car cuts all throttle. It makes for a very long winter lol. But for all of the little nuances, there will be more times where it put a smile on my face, or the other 4 passengers when on that road trip to Florida, or during my Wife and I’s Anniversary trip to South Carolina.

It was always a smooth ride, with all the amenities of a luxury car and the cheap plastic of a Saturn. Such a quirky car that I will always remember fondly.

So long, good friend.

My wife has a Synergy Green Camaro and I still believe my C250 to be pretty awesome. My garage is RWD coupes with one being NA and the other Turbo charged, I can get a feel for whatever I want. The C250 is light and nimble in the corners, and the Camaro will surprise anyone who underestimates it.

I love that colour. Though that's not particularly good light and I prefer the matte stripes.

Yeah it's a beautiful color in person, but hard to capture the tri-coat with my phone lol

Isn’t there a fuse or a hack you can do to turn that T/C off?

Oh there is, but I always wanted that in the cabin of the car just for the fact that this thing got unruly with it active and I was a little too scared to drive this one with it completely deactivated. And there’s a button that says it turns it off but truly it only turns it to 50%. If you can tell, I never got really crazy with this one.

Ah! Toyota’s do that as well. My fathers Tacoma has the off button, but you have to click it for 10 seconds so it really is off.

Don’t ask me how I know. Or why the wheels arches are full of beach sand. Or why I am still giggling.
