We’ve done it. Gone bourgeoisie after an unfortunate traffic shunt totaled Kim’s ’09 Fusion.
Stopped for a school bus (evidently it’s hard to see bright flashing red lights on a big yellow bus) a young girl piled squarely into the back Kim’s car at a brisk clip without slowing down. Fortunately there was no one ahead of Kim, so she was shoved ahead without being driven into the back of someone else, but her car is shortened by several inches.
The truck that hit her, a newer Chevy half ton 4×4, is probably totaled too, but the cars did what they are supposed to do and soaked up the impact. No one was injured, and Kim was able to drive the wounded Fusion home.
Yesterday we bought a beautiful 2014 Chrysler 300c AWD. Yes, it has a Hemi. Not an SRT, but its smooth, tomb quiet and faster than anything we’ve owned. It’s a velvet hammer.
We love it, but I worry we will no longer want to take a rattling, drafty, noisy, rough riding station wagon or old truck across the country. There is something to this comfort thing…
I believe a class 3 2″ hitch receiver should be available for this car! No, it won’t be the same, but something to consider.
Once you go MOPAR, you’ll never go back to anything else. MOPAR or NO CAR, my friend.
