It's good to see that you stayed Domestic with your choice. Needs interior pictures, and a comparison to the 'Vette.

Very nice, your neighbours must be wondering if you guys won the lottery or something with all the renos and new cars pulling into your driveway!

If you had followed his earlier thread, you would know he was thinking about it.
Why do you quote my post on your signature? I sent you a pm about it

Wow, that was fast.

Since Chrysler is a customer of mine and I spend a lot of time at Chrysler facilities, I thought I should drive a Chrysler product. The real motivation is not having to walk an extra 1/2 mile to my car (Chrysler makes competitive vehicles park out in the boonies). In the summer with the Corvette, I deal with that. But in the Winter it would BLOW.

Man congrats. I have been thinking about taking my wife's HHR, geting her a commander, perhaps in 2012

Winter car, spring car, fall car, summer car! Car for every season!

Just kidding. Congratulations!

Very nice.

Is that a dent in the front fender?

The second is Remote Start. All I need is the Hood Switch and Hood Switch Bracket, the harness is already there. The rest of the stuff for it I can get at work. I don't know the cost of the Switch and Bracket.

You're kidding. Remote start (key fob) came with my lowly $30,000 Impala.

Remote Start comes on every Grand Cherokee except the VERY BASE model. Had I got the "Popular Equipment Package" I would have gotten it. They don't even change the wiring harness to eliminate the wire for the hood switch.

BTW none of the 2008.75 Challengers have Remote Start, the 2009's do however, and those cost $40k.

I don't think so, just the light reflecting funny.

Very nice, I like it in Black!

I think you may just have a bit of a door ding in your wheel arch (look straight up from the center of your front wheel)

If you can get the wheel well liner off easily, you can just get up behind the ding rub it out with the handle of a screwdriver

That's how I get rid of mine!
