EPA regulations "GONE"???

[1971demon]

Much like my car with a bed on it (what you refer to as trucks) then. The '21 1500 has about 2,800 miles on it as I recall.

With as many miles as I've logged in commercial vehicles in my lifetime...(over a million)..any truck,,(car with a bed) that I own...will never have more than 4 wheels...or a diesel....

 

[Jimmy N.]

Maybe it's because I don't need to keep a log that I'm getting another Peterbilt?

Yes, it's a diesel and has six wheels, but it's a tractor, not a truck.

Maybe now we can get a more powerful hybrid and burn more rubber with it? I’m in.

I am warming to a hybrid setup, not saying I am going to run out and buy one if they offer it tomorrow, but it's a better option than it was a few years ago... I almost like the idea of a nicely powered V8 with some sort of electric acceleration assist? Lol
The Hellcat isn't going anywhere, but the hybrid approach sounds better than it used to. I need the actual (real) V8 sounds and power though.

I agree. The current C8 E-Ray is very interesting IMO.

 

[Unholy707]

No way I'm layin out that kinda scratch for a HC Durango...hell my Demon didn't cost that much

You have a demon?

 

[BULL]

You have a demon?

No, he does not...


He has two.


Lol

Thats what I am talking about!
Thats an application of a hybrid technology I can embrace!

The ERay is very cool.

It has the AWD EV launch characteristics but then the big V8 takes over once it is rolling.
It is quicker down the 1320 than the Z06 as well.

This is what the Zora will be. AWD ZR1 and probably 1200ish hp.

That car will be bonkers.


A Hellcat with a similar setup would be killer. 900hp awd in that new Charger body. I just don't think there is any room for the electric motors up front

@Jimmy N. you really gotta get the TRX on the road a little more!

@Jimmy N. you really gotta get the TRX on the road a little more!

Well, in my defense, it was bought as a get-through-the-snow-drifts vehicle. Since we haven't had a winter this season and last winter wasn't much better, there's been no real reason to drive it.

Meanwhile, the new-to-me Durango is getting some miles on it, and the GT AWD Challenger will have about 1,700 added to it in a few weeks.

And what I really should drive more is the Challenger. Just not quite yet. We keep getting these "snowfalls" with maybe 3/32" resulting.

Meanwhile I just rolled over 40,000 miles on my truck. I think your fleet is larger and more diverse. We just have the TRX and a Colorado ZR2 in our garage.

 

[Jimmy N.]

I wouldn't call it a fleet, but it's certainly diverse. At this point we have seven registered vehicles each.

Between me not driving much and spreading it thin between them, there's just not all that many miles added. The exception is the 3500, used for dropping off and picking up vehicles.

When it gets driven it's between 600 and 2,600 miles or so at a time. Still, it's just under 33,000 since early '17.

 

[vortecd]

The Durango (in any trim or price) is just not a vehicle that fits ANY of my needs...a friend of mine has one and it's a great vehicle...but with my trucks,,and cars (and my wife's)...it would never get driven...

Me neither but I want 3 rows of seating for our family of 2

You can have my third and second row of seats. I have no use for them.

 

[1971demon]

No, he does not...


He has two.
^^^^yeah..what He said^^^^

Uhhh just how "BIG"...is yer family of 2

 

[Jimmy N.]

Walmart size?

When we first got here in '91, it was still by county. I forget when, but now it is state wide as far as I know.

It's basically the Front Range minus Colorado Springs and Pueblo. There are parts of Weld County that are also exempt. One of the biggest wastes of time and money there is. There are better ways to enforce emissions regulations.

 

[EricG]

The biggest joke about emissions testing is that they mainly just check newer cars with warranties intact and typically good working emissions systems, not the old jalopies with 20-30+ year old catalytic converters and burning a ton of oil. Here in New Mexico there is only one county where emissions testing is mandatory, granted it's the biggest and most populated, but so many people live outside of it but travel into the city every day.
