Thats an impressive amount of damage hahahaha

I sent it to my Dad.  He used to flat tow a JK Wrangler behind his RV.  His response:

Quote
Final step in flat towing set-up:  CHECK!!! With the transer case in neutral, and the transmission in gear, start the engine and slowly release the clutch; nothing happens?  It's all good.  This simple check would have prevented this incident

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Rod Bearings!
It's not "if" with these cars. It's when.
You own one long enough, you're doing rod bearings.

A buddy of mine has a BMW M3 V8 block as a coffee table base, it has a hole in the side of it.

That is my favorite M3....but not only does it have that V8, its got BMWs DCT. You have to be ok with just setting piles of hundreds on fire to own this car

Back in 2004 when we needed 3 child seats in each car, we needed a bigger 2nd car and I was bonkers about these - an Inferno Red R/T would have done the job. The Mrs would not hear of it, and we got the new E-Z-Rust Mazda MPV - also a complete lemon - a van that we ditched after 3 years. Sigh.

I prefer the 300C clip as well.  The Dodge one reminds me too much of the Caliber.
