Lol ..... In the current realm of fast street cars and racing in general the dodge demon isn't that fast or powerful ....

At the same time, the orange colored cheese flavored snacks Cheetos from Frito Lay is so inherently dangerous to the common safety of vending machine snacks that its registration as a sellable vending machine food should be banned.We don't reach this conclusion lightly. There are more orange, and even weirder shaped, snacks available from other snack food makers that are rightly street legal.But just as Chipotle is wrong to use consumers and the bathrooms to beta-test its toilet paper technologies, Frito Lay is wrong to offer a purpose-built chip-like snack as a mouth-legal enjoyment.From its barely legal foil bag technology to its monstrous head on one end, the Cheetos introduced while watching Matlock this month is the result of a sequence of misguided corporate choices that places bragging rights ahead of public safety.Laudably, the entire industry has made great strides toward improved health conscious choices in recent years, even as it dials up performance capabilities. But with the Cheeto, Frito Lay spits on that goal and irresponsibly moves in the opposite direction, knowingly placing fatties like me in danger in the process.Oddly enough, for a chip designed to be a purpose-built glowing orange dust holder, the Cheeto has already been banned from regulated schools by that school's sanctioning body, the National Anti-Child Association, allegedly for being "too fattening."These Cheetos may comply sufficiently with the letter of the USDA Safety Standards to legally be registered for gluttonous consumption, but in its current form it certainly doesn't fulfill the spirit of those standards.To borrow a phrase from Bones McCoy, Damn it, Jim, I’m a proctologist, not a gynecologist.

So many levels of wrong. If only they realized how many people are driving around on bald tires or bad brakes. They just sold the ENTIRE production quota for the next two years with that one editorial.....
And I still think Dodge makes shitty products.... case in point my Charger Blacktop edition. |

See, that is the thing. I have racked up a million miles on Dodges, yet come here and have a dilettante that has been driving just barely long enough to get in a crash with his first Prius, tell me that all Dodges are shit. I can't wait for the rifle advice. I am sure marital advice is right around the corner as well. Happy fucking birthday! We have owned 3 Dodge Ram 1500's and 2500's and a 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT which we still currently own. All 3 Ram trucks 2005, 2008, and 2009 have been trouble from the very start with check engine lights, electrical problems including the complete replacement of the fuse box and main harness, 2 rear differentials breaking (known Dodge issue), TPMS sensor breakage. The SRT in less than 50,000 miles has had the rear differential and drive shaft replaced, the power steering pump and steering rack replaced. The front Radar for the cruise control replaced. Our Mercedes Sprinters which replaced the Rams have had no issues so far and my 2008 Ford F-250 which I sold yesterday only needed a battery and an alternator in 120,000 miles. I would like to say I'll never buy another Dodge, Chrysler product for the rest of my life but I still would like a Jeep one day. |

Another editorial from that site...
This won’t be a popular stance, and people will be angry and disagree, but here goes: For FCA [Fiat Chrysler Automobiles] to build a car like this, one that can be legally driven off the dealer’s lot, is nothing short of irresponsible. It’s an act of desperation by a company whose cars are getting really old. Consider that the Challenger itself is 8 years old, and the platform it rides on is from well into the last century. I grew up in an era when more horsepower was always better. General Motors’ 455-cubic-inch performance V-8s from the early ’70s, Chrysler’s 426 Hemi and Ford’s 427, 428 and 429 V-8s were highly coveted. Before increasingly strict emissions standards choked off power and expensive gasoline dried up buyers’ thirst for more, the highest horsepower engines topped out at a sane and manageable 425 or so. FCA says there are no special requirements — no training at the dealership, no mandatory racing-school attendance — needed to buy a Challenger SRT Demon. Anyone can show up at the dealership with the money and drive it home. That is also irresponsible. You may email Staff Reporter Richard Truett at [email protected]. |

Couldn't get them insured so they just sat on the showroom.
