Nice gatz, congrats. Did you tell them not to wash it. Just saying they might not be as particular as you with cleaning method.

I am sending a man with a gun to do the final inspection before they send it to me. No shit. But you got my attention and I will ask some questions tomorrow. Thanks, I did not think of that.

Let's realize that the dealer is going to get some clown to wash it. I never want them to do anymore because you just have to correct it.
At least that's my experience.

When I got the Charger it had been sitting for a while. The stripes were full of wax and it had swirl marks from them washing it improperly. I told them not to touch it anymore.

“SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND” says Tony Montana ☠️

I hope your talking about a body light inspection gun

I‘m not going to pay a lot for this swirl mark.

You have a car washing business, DavidKFla?

No. I work washing cars at the Kia dealership. It's the best money in town and I can do a shitty job.

You're probably busy then. I hear those KIAs are a steal.

It's always busy. Mostly because I'm washing all the ones for warranty work.

That is really good. You mean when it arrives that won’t work for break-in? I already have my one legged buddy lined up to drive me around when it arrives. The wounded leading the half dead?

We can complete this thread. Just received a great looking new big sister for the Challenger. This should tow the car on its favorite 20’ footer just fine…

Well since I just looked and priced one as similar as I could with about the same power that still does not have the acceleration specs we do for about $140k, thanks!

It's the same platform as the ML and GL just like our hot rods are on the E class platform.

Can’t wait to drive it. I just can’t allow myself to go out and pit it bad the first time out. Tomorrow will bring dry enough streets to do that. It finally warmed up inside since I could turn up the heat in the garage. It was cold!!

I was out and programmed everything I could similar to my Challenger. Of course I don’t want to read instructions yet! But there are lots of other things and widgets to set-up. I did set up the Home Screen with the gauges. That is way better than the Challenger. As you all know to get the necessary gauges, we need to start the Performance Pages at least with my ancient 2019. Once the phone sync’ed wireless automatic CarPlay is a nice touch, along with a place to set it with the induction charging. Amazon Music sounds better than Sirius as it does in the Challenger. The tow package is kock it seems. Lots of options there that I have never seen anywhere. I bet it will rip that 20’ trailer along with its little sister in tow.

Bottom line, I like it after driving a doggy 2012 Tahoe for ten years as a DD. And I have only driven it for 100’. Definitely a step up.:ROFLMAO:

Sound system should be far superior to your Challenger.

Because of the larger interior space?

Our Ram is far better. Just seems like better components and more speakers. I don't know why.
