Ask me about putting my house on the market & facing the prospect of either junking two torn apart, non-running cars worth $1,000 or dragging them to a storage unit & paying $250/mo until I get one of the parts off the donor and the second one running.

...maybe the fees will get me off my rear end?

There's six of my cars in the main yard or shed, the missus' don't count. Still plenty of room for rust magnets, so come and join! I parked one a little close to the main house while new roof was being put on so insurance are now paying for damage 'totally and fully caused by construction and or asbestos'

Why though? Legitimate question... I've had my 2007 5.7 for 3 and a half years, and it's been an excellent car. Comfortable, very reliable, quite quick in a straight line after a tune, hauls heaps of stuff, tows well, etc.

(I'm not much for the stick on chrome bling that other people tend to plaster all over theirs, though. Mine is almost completely stock on the outside, including the grille.)

Apes together strong. A non-domestic or JDM thing arrives and we whoop and holler.

To be real, it's mainly all the local example owners are absolute assholes with drug dealer/other nefarious ties that VIP tint and roll around town with seats lowered as far as can be and windows down, speed dealer sunnies glaring barely over the window sill.

And to be clear. I have a VE wagon lowered on 20s with great tint, intake, engine, exhaust and a few subwoofers. I'm part of that problem, but domestic! I can smell my kind.

Lol there's a Magnum for sale locally. Five grand for a 2007 with 100k miles... and a v6 and an interior like mk1 Skoda Fabia. A hemi might have some redeeming qualities but there's no reason to get this over a I6 BMW, Mercedes or even Opel wagon.

A friend of mine works for he city of Harrisburg and last year the city was selling a dozen Magnums that were previously government vehicles. He tried to buy ALL of them but the bids all shot up at the 11th hour and ruined his plans. He never did get around to telling me what he intended to do with them.

300Cs in general are regarded as a sad joke in Australia all round. Which if you compared one to the local Falcons or Commodores is understandable esp if one of them has a Barra I6 in it
