AMEN. you should sell that seden and get yourself a real charger. just cause it says "charger" on the car doesnt mean its a real charger

[bull]

I'm sure that Thule and Yakima have fastener kits to install ski racks on the '06 Whatchamacallit.

It is a Hemi brother, I just didn't like the chrome grill so I changed it after an accident, I customized the exhaust, sounds nice, and put in a cold air system, it moves..

[A383Wing]

it's not a real Hemi either..has dog-dish pistons...just because plugs go through valve cover doesn't make it a Hemi

Well...let me explane a little.
This site is for dodge chargers,so why ask here

I don't believe I'm going to say this either but your writing above is quite nice. Everything is spelled correctly, proper puncutation and capitalization, etc. What the hell is going on around here?

[A383Wing]

spell check feature was possibly used...just a guess

I don't know about the ski rack, but at least you bought an american car instead of some foreign POS.  As for the rest of you guys...give him a break, huh? He is only 3 posts old!

I dont like the new chargers anymore than most of the people on this forum, but this is where the thread should have stopped.  Anybody think, or care about the image this guy has now about dodgecharger.com ?   WE GOT IT, you guys hate the new charger. I think it sucks that people get the "you aint work a $hit attitude because they think they can get help here.

And sometimes they come here just to push buttons. If that's the case he's probably smiling right now.

American car? Dodge has Mexico making the engine blocks and the rest is ALL assembled in Canada. There isn't many American cars made in America anymore..... sad....

[Hudson Hornet !]

Look, pal, At least it's better than something coming from a company that 60 years ago wanted us all dead.........

At least the profits from that Canadian made charger come back to the U.S.  Try doing that with your Indiana built camry.

If you meant "you ain't worth a $shit", You got it all wrong.... it's not the people making the post that everyone is talking about.

Profits go to investors all over the globe; wages go to people who spend money in the United States.

That may be true, but the company keeps a little as well you know.

No man, I aint talking about that response, all the other non needed down right mean responses is what i was talking about

I wonder how much of the Chrysler profits really stay in the US compared to the wages of US Toyota workers? It would be interesting to know for sure. It would certainly be sad to learn that Toyota actually put more dollars into the US economy than Chrysler.

At any rate, I'm sure both of us would be much happier if "American" cars were actually built in the US.

[Troy]

I'd be willing to bet that Toyota puts more money into the US economy than Chrysler.

Chrysler is owned by Fiat now right? None of their "profits" stay in the US - although, as far as I know, they aren't making a profit so how does that change things? The wages and money paid to suppliers still stays locally even if the company is bleeding money (unless they don't pay their suppliers and go bankrupt).

No matter, way to make the new guy feel welcome! I've made my feelings clear on this in the past so I guess I'm going to have to start giving "time outs" for rude behavior.

Man it can get brutal around here.

If I wanted to attach something to my car without putting a rack on the roof or trunk I would make something that mounts to the trailer hitch like my bike rack.



Just get some square tubing that goes in the hitch and then put a 90 deg bend in it or make a 90 weld with some supports so it does not break.

Then take a few of these and bolt them on (or weld a mount then bolt since they are aluminum).


Or something like it since I'm winging it here people.
Maybe a bottom plate to rest the ski on so it does not slide down and hit the ground and BAM your done. Might look like a flag pole going down the road but who cares. saves the car.

Patent the sucker and make a few bucks in the progress. "Trailer Hitch mounted ski rack"

[ChgrSteve67]

Oh hell what do you know they make one already.
I just needed to do a little more google searching.
