Thread: Out with the old, in with the older?

On November 5th of this year I was in an accident in my beloved 2006 Dodge Magnum SXT. The driver that hit me fled the scene as the vehicle I was pushed into and I were moving off of the freeway towards the median. So here is what damage my car sustained:

Farmer's Insurance declared it as totaled since it would cost more to repair than the car was worth. 8(

So I began my search for a new to me vehicle. Used was the only option as we are trying to work our way out of debt. So I found a few decent cars , then I happen upon a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT - in my favourite colour - Silver. It has 85k miles on it, which was 50k less than my SXT. Now I get to reap the benefits of what I wanted in the first place: HEMI power , leather , sun roof , HEMI power , Dual climate control w/ heated seats , HEMI power ...... and it already had an aftermarket exhaust.

So with a new K&N CAI , oil catch can & a DiabloSport inTune tuner I am having a blast driving this beast. I still miss my 2006, but I think I will get over it quickly.

Good job making lemonade from lemons friend
