This is the new hotness...2006 Dodge Charger srt8 ! 425 hp & 420 lbs of torque!
I was thinking of getting a new mustang next year sometime, but couldn't justify it not being a sedan (cuz I have kids you know) but this is a waaaaaay better option for me plus I just couldn't bring myself to stray into the ford arena...I do have to wait and see what my settlement check will look like after my lawyers get done with it...but this car is the new plan! Black and fully loaded! (they don't really come un-loaded though! (and no my kids won't be allowed inside it at all, that's what the mini-van is for!) oh yeah it goed 0-100-0 in 16 seconds...

It's my midlife crisis!

American Muscle will pwn all ricers!

i think dodge has been onto something for a while! Their cars really stand out and this car is just damn sexy though like the z4 could be considered ugly by people. Its very edgy.

Thats the first thing my wife asked..."is it a porsche?"

Chrysler is owned by Daimler now isn't it? so there's been a lot of european influence on chryslers these days...I like the 05 mustangs stylings, but ford is usually behind in the "stock" power dept...this is a good balance of both I think.

I even like the 300 It's a sedan with a few "apocolyptic tank" stylings...the damn thing looks bulletproof...lol!

I <3 you now.
I've been waiting for the new charger for since I heard they were making a new one.

I'm excited. A new charger is like a dream car to me.

Besides, no matter how cool the New Mustang is, it's still a Ford.

This is not a pity-party-feel sorry for me thing... I don't want this to sound whiny, cause it's not...L&I just really chaps my ass! :)

Not to go into gory details but approx 2 years ago I hurt my back pretty bad at work...It affects my syatic (sp?) nerve clusters in my legs, and all areas in my pelvic region... which makes my legs hard to move at times, and I have to piss 30-40 times a day& night. I am in some various form of pain at all times...ranging from mild discomfort to blinding hot pokers in my back. (not fun!) I've seen every specialist in the area (I never knew before this, how many medical innovations are researched on in the pacific NW) and I have regular Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Acupressure, and physical therapy sessions every week. needless to say these things are compounding themselves into other problems... I'm a mess, I've gained alot of weight even though I don't eat more than normal, or particularly un-healthy, I'm depressed because I can't do a lot of things I used to, i.e. give my youngest horsey back rides, ride a bike, skateboard... etc. etc.
I do have to work really hard to not let all of that get to me...If I give up my life is over. as a result I continue to carry in the groceries from the car, and horse around with my kids. Pain I am learning to live with, but I don't think I can learn to give up quality memories for my family or myself.

BTW the department of Labor and Industries is pure EVIL. It was created to protect injured employees from vengeful employers, but has somewhere turned a complete 180 degrees. Thus the lawyer, I have to fight for the most basic care constantly...they think everyone is faking it even when you have medical proof (which I do) and now they want to settle for a paltry amount. Oh and they convinently "forgot" to keep my families insurance active after my injury so now I have to go through the state for my kids insurance and I have none...(outside of it being related to my work injuries)

The also don't pay for school.
