Here is my train of thought on my 5BW ownership. The car came "perfect" from the factory. (Except for no sunglass holder.) I don't need or want anymore power or performance. I have done some cosmetic changes to my liking. If you don't plan on tracking the car.....just leave well enough...
Its still better than leaving sit for 4-5 months. I take my collision off to save about 4-600$. I do usually just drive it down the long driveway and back. Been doing it for decades with my cars and never had a problem. Learned the hard way to keep a battery tender on them.
I have had Geolanders on my Suburban and now my Jeep Grand Cherokee. When it snows , they are great. This is the first substantial snow NY has had in 5-6 years.
I don't remember if I bought mine from Savage. I most likely did. There were 4 quarter inch strips of 3 M tape that you peel off and just press it on top of the existing shark fin. The thickness of the tape, although thin, does leave a small gap. I may even just let my pinstripe guy run a...
You can remove the shark fin by just dropping down the rear brake light housing and pulling down on the headliner. BUT !! It is a real tight squeeze to get your hands in there with a small open end wrench or socket. Best to use a small air ratchet. (I believe #10 socket.) My wrap guy is...
I went and black gloss wrapped my roof over the summer. I like the look. I need to re-wrap my trunk spoiler in carbon fiber. Its starting to bubble around the edges.
I brought my 2014 Challenger RT Plus, back to the dealership because they did not replace all 8 coil packs as was discussed. They only did 4 of them. They charge $180 for EACH coil pack and then have to pay installation labor on top of that. It will cost me about another $1200 on top of the...
I have the Fumoto valve installed in 2 of my cars. It just makes it easier/faster and less mess . You don't really need any tools to change your oil, other than maybe a filter wrench. I don't over tighten mine and can unscrew them with a little effort by hand. I believe a Gorilla installs...
My main criteria for a watch is.........you have to be able to actually, quickly tell what time it is ! These qtr. million Richard Mille watches are the worst.
I highly doubt my 5BW will EVER go thru a mechanical car wash. But its good to know that these issues could arise. Like my cellphone, I don't know half the capabilities of these cars today. I was always happy with power steering, power windows, air conditioning and rear defrosters. When...
My Challenger check up has now gone from almost $4000 to about $7000 in service. I believe this is AFTER my lifetime warranty work is completed. They are now telling me that I need two new valve covers and 4 coil coil packs. I told them to go ahead and replace all 8 coil packs. I was always...
At some point during my classes, it was brought up about tipping the instructors. There were about 15 of us and each put $20 on the podium just before the end of the course. There were about 6 instructors , so each got about $50 per. My Dad taught me that if someone provides good service...
I just brought my 2014 Dodge Challenger into the dealer for some work to be done on my power steering. I bought the MOPAR Lifetime Warranty back in 2014 and paid $2500 for it, $100 deductible. I told the dealer to go over the whole car and see if they find anything that is covered under...
