I pulled the trigger on 2019 Scat Pack Charger

Well something new today.

The local police rang my doorbell today and said the neighbor 2 doors down has a problem with me starting the Charger up in the morning. He said it makes too much noise and wakes his wife up. I told the cops that they can kiss my ***! My car is 100% stock and 100% legal and I have a right to start my car anytime I want. No one says anything about his turbo diesel truck starting up everyday. The cops tried to de-escalate the situation because they realized this conversation was starting to irritate me by saying "Jeez, we saw that you have a Scat Pack. That is a really nice car!"

I took it down a notch and asked them if they wanted me to start the Scat Pack and they can hear it for themselves. They said no and the conversation ended.

Sorry, late to the party...

Plan "a"... wake up at 3am, brew coffee, start car, rev and shut down...4am, start car, one more rev, shut down... 5am, start car, rev and shut down... continue until your normal hours of operation. If you feel like answering when asked, the walk to the car is part f your medically recommended exercise and the rev is a reason to live.

Dirty looks or additional complaints... same as plan "a", but plan "b" involves backing into the parking space for optimal acoustics and window shaking.

Some body less restrained might just burn a patch in front of their property, but I've grown since those days (and more folks have video cameras).

I don't know whether to post this here because it's related, start it's own thread, or just not post it at all because it's largely non Mopar/FCA/whatever, related.
I'm researching deeply on how to get into a new passenger sedan with a stick.
There are only two choices left, a top level Mazda3 (try not to gag thank you)
which is a compact and a mid-sized Accord (less distasteful but still no).
I've ruled out Challengers, Mustangs, and Camaros completely.
So that leaves me with a Charger Scat Pack just like Bob's.

On the other hand, somehow, by the good graces of some entity out there, I'm turning 70 this week (hold your applause, thank you) , and although I still have enough knee action for a clutch today, what about tomorrow???

Think I'll keep the Lincoln and just enjoy it's 1,000 watt, 28 speaker "radio" which I'll figure out it's voice commands someday...

Stan, go take a Scat Pack Charger out for a test ride. The first 1/4 mile run on the on ramp of the interstate will sway you.

You can get a new one in the low $40's.

Stan: I know this car is not NEW, but it is cheap and it sure fits the bill:

It's that Boston Twang you have....it just doesn't understand you.

Actually had a case like this with a customer who was from South Britain. He had such a strong Cockney accent that the voice activated system could not understand his commands. He brought it in repeatedly saying it wasn't working and of course every time the tech tried it no fault found. He eventually ended up at my desk pissed off that no one believed that his Voice Activation was defective. I went for a drive with him and he showed me what he was doing. I immediately picked up that his accent was so strong the system couldn't make out what he was saying. I told him to pretend he was a Texan and speak cowboy...damn thing did exactly what he asked. So the fix was speaking "Merican" which he was terribly insulted by as he spoke the "Queen's English" not the rebel tongue...

BTW he never complained about his voice activation again....:poke:
