I flew into Denver to escort my father in law back home after medical procedure. I booked a full size and they want to “upgrade” me into a Ford Expedition which is he size of a battleship. So I went back and got myself into this: Dodge Charger r/t with a hemi.

How is the zoom-zoom?

Don’t forget that at 5200ft, there’s about a 15% power loss already. So less zoom-zoom than you’d have at sea level.

Colorado has red plates? Or do they just turn red when the driver is high?

Why does the spoiler look like it was put on an inch and a half forward of where its supposed to be?

FLT on the left means its a fleet plate.

our plates are typically white/green

Or...*insert overwhelming number of options here*. I know to steer well clear of anyone with Broncos Country plates.

Got a plate for the GS today. Genuinely surprised how damn many niche interest plates Colorado offers.

I’ve got the “Visit your state parks” plate on the Taco. Then went to a state park and conveniently forgot to pay the entrance fee. Oops.

Charger R/T ? So will you be taking it on both the Road and the Track?

Let me guess: It’s got the motor and virtually nothing else, right? Not even a backup camera.

Just making sure I’m not going red/green colorblind. I’ve never seen a CO tag that wasn’t green/white. A lot of states have 100+ designs to choose from.

It’s still not bad. A lot of grunt and go. Very deep growl.

Nope. No camera no sunroof. Got uconnect for my CarPlay though and for something that I am renting for less than a day it’s pretty good.

I have no idea and I wouldn’t even think of that until you pointed it out.

Yeah we got the purple “Adopt a Greyhound” plates on the Caddy because A: purple and B: adopt a fucking Greyhound

The truck has Support the Horse because there aren’t any Westernaires plates available

Kinda disappointed at the options that Washington has. Poo.

Fucking Chargers get CarPlay but my 2017 Ram (with the 8.4) is incomfuckingpatible

Nah, just FCA heritage at work. Great things happen when you marry American manufacturing morale with an Italian mentality for quality control.

Basic spec = Hertz?

I am surprised they still do the rental car plate thing, seems like it would make people targets.

The car dealers I work for love buying all these ex rental Mopars. The Challengers and Ram 1500s without backup cameras make me nervous as all hell.
