Mach 5 (http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=31&article_id=6466)

I may need to re-work the family budget a bit to buy it, though.

Actually perfect for a bike rack on the back. I don't think it would work on JB's

I dunno - with a bike rack on the back, you're limited to light CF bikes. A heavy one might just tip it over!

It's only 100k or so.
Funny thing when you "build your own" on dodge website there is "gas guzzler tax". Hilarious!

You make a good point, maybe with the water bottles in the front glove compartment might balance it out?

Junior leaves for college in 15 years... Then I'm all over one o' them Teslas. They'll be affordable by then too.

Side note: You know you can't reach the radio volume knob when the thing accelerates? It's that fast off the line. :eek:
