Title: Things are getting totally plum crazy around my house!
Post by: GrandpaKevin on May 18, 2021, 06:52:20 PM
Proud papa here.

My youngest daughter is busting her butt staying on the dean's list in college and working a busy job on the side.

She been saving her money and just bought her first car and although I tried to talk her into something more...practical.... the plum crazy Mopar urge was just too strong.

She is so very proud of her new plum crazy R/T Challenger.

Now we have 3 purple R/T Challenger....the insanity has to end. :drunk:

Time for grandpa to sell his Challenger and have his baby girl chauffeur him around in her's  :thinking:

Wow, that's a great FIRST car :twothumbsup:  Is it a V6 or Hemi ? My son was finding a huge difference in insurance cost for young people...

The wheels are telling me it's an R/T, so it has the 5.7 Hemi.

What a great car for a deserving daughter !   :veryexcited:

Yea, he mentioned R/T so I figured a  HEMI, but around here...a young kid can forget about insuring it  :bigmoney: :looney: it would cost more then the car.

Yes it's an R/T classic with the 5.7 Hemi engine and automatic transmission.

The original owner removed the R/T stripes, I kind of like it without them.

Real nice car, drives excellent, 43k miles, lots options and leather.

The 5.7 actually has quite a bit of power and the car scoots pretty good which does scare me a bit being a dad.

I didn't price insurance on a V6 but we added the car to our family policy and it was $280 for 6 months full coverage, nobody in our family has any tickets or accidents.
We will drop the insurance to comprehensive when we store it for the winter.

My 18 year old son was quoted on a 2011 Charger w/Hemi  approximately $280 for two weeks insurance....YES you read that correct...$550 per month...over $6.6K year...extremely clean driving record and driver training courses as well... :dunno: That's $18/day :tired:

Beautiful car for a beautiful young lady....You and your wife must be so proud... :drinkingbud:
