Its a cheap winter beater so it doesnt deserve a good fuel pump right?
The BIG Hole in that logic showed up Friday.
Pulled into DD for an ice coffee in the 90deg morning heat.
FP decided THAT was a good time to........quit.
So.......is this just a BIG lie?
It couldnt.....could it?

.....no.....I wouldnt buy a 300C...it was the hemi tho.
Well....MAYBE an SRT8....but odds are it'd be a Challenger long before a 300C
Wasnt very fast. Or maybe the refined power made it seem slower.
As an AWD vehicle it handles pretty good, didnt really torture test it tho.
Had this sciatic nerve thing going on in my right hip / butt cheek so I was a little uncomfortable.
I think it happens everytime 2 of my vehicles develop problems at the same time...
Bump shift is fun...nice option for when your bored. Seats sucked....boy did I feel THAT pain.
Open the front door all the way & try to grab it to close when your in the car....
I was at full extension....almost falling out to reach a part of the door panel to pull....strange design.
Did get a kick out of the license plate tho.

Sooooo why on a 90 degree day were you driving the winter beater when you have a sh!tload of other nice cars? Or they all put away to avoid sunburn? Them all being jet black and all.

Unfortunately....2 reasons: 1) the DD needs transmission attention 2) Wagon is a parts hauler
I DID make the mistake of saying to myself on the way into work...funny, THIS is the car that doesnt let me down
Went right from my mouth to the FP gods ear...
PS: ALL my vehicles have ice cold AC....

The Chrysler isn't a bad car. I spent a week and a shitload of miles with one last summer.
