So my 73 yr old mom was looking for a new car. She's owned Cadi De Villes for 20+ yrs. She has been all over the board with what she wants to replace the 2000 DeVille she left here in NY since she moved out to Phoenix. Sebring Convertible(I had one and loved it), a 6 cylinder Stang(talked her out of that one), BMW M4, Jaguar XK, Chrysler 200(she hated that when she drove it). Keep in mind that she wants to be able to pick people up at the airport and it needs a back seat...a hint to her children to visit often.
Today she "settled" on a Chrysler 300 SRT8(Do I hear Frank cheering out there?). "Mom, you know that has about 100 hp more than mine?", "Yep", "ah". Now I can't wait to head out and break it in for her.
Dave C..........My mantra: I can not be bought!! Long and short term leases available.
In the words of Zora Arkus-Duntov "Is your seat belt fastened? Alright, Let's go"
Yeah, I know, Shut up Dave.

I'm sure my "more sensible" brother will say why the heck did you buy THAT? I'm thrilled for her.
She called when I was typing this. I asked if she sped on the way home. She said "No, not really. I got it up to 80 or so."
