... I traded in the Dakota last night. It broke my heart, but I had to with the price of gas getting ready to soar.

I did keep it in the Dodge family though. I bought a 2007 Charger, SXT. I wouldn't go less than the 3.5L, unless I got the Caliber R/T. The Charger is a bit on the base line though. It has the "hub capped" wheels, which I'll probably change in the near future. It's a very nice car and it rides very comfortably and very punchy. It has 9800 miles on it.

I've got plans on changing things on it next Spring, so I'll be up there with the Hemi as far as power goes.

Anyway, I'll still be around, I'll even probably hangout here since I'm still a Mod, unless they change that and make me a mod in the Chargers section.

Catch you later,

Todd

 

It's sad to see ya leave the family of Dakota's, but congrats on the new toy! Got any pics...I, for one, would love to see it!

 

what a bummer, should have kept the truck and just bought a beater to drive back and forth to work in

 

Sad that you had to trade in the Dak but at least you stayed in the family The charger's a pretty nice ride, definitely a better choice than the Caliber. So get some pics up so we can see your new ride!

 

x2 but you gotta do what you gotta do. its sad, a lot of full size trucks with 100 more hp plus get better gas mileage than i do.

 

Don't remind me, my friend has an 07 silverado and loves rubbing it in my face that he gets 22mpg...

 

You are the second Todd I know that traded in their Dodge truck for a Dodge Charger. Enjoy it!

 

It happens to us all Todd. I traded in my Dakota for a Dodge Stratus R/T coupe....and then upgraded to my Grand Prix GTP....so I understand your pain. Back when Katrina drove gas prices thru the roof, I traded out of my truck faster then a crackhead goes after loose rocks.....

Enjoy the new ride and you can always get another truck - maybe a diesel Dakota in the future!

 

Todd, enjoy your new ride and be sure to post photos of it soon!!
