      The Pontiac Aztec 2000-2005 (circa Breaking Bad) haz a center console that holds a 6 pack and ice, has a tray to de-seed your pot and a top tray to cut 'lines' on. The whole nit is removeable, so if your pulled over by the authorities (a.k.a. the man) the driver can claim that 'it not mine, somebody lift it here man'.

A close friend has the 6.4 Hemi Challenger, which goes like hell. Two other acquaintances each have 6.1 Hemi 300C's, both with over 300,000 kms on them. These vehicles go a long time, granted they aren't ratbagged and abused like the car in the video.

Yes I have had to work in it just the same as the men did before me with the chargers in the 60's and 70's with v8's over 300 horsepower. I don't mind it because its extremely simple to tune and wrench on. It rides amazing an easy to get the kids in and out of. Had it for over a year and enjoy it alot.

    Since everyone is talking mileage, I have a 13 v6 with 160k miles on it. Runs like a dream still and being 6'4", this car is great for bigger guys. Other than maintenance I had to change the fuel pump at 140k miles (it's under the back seat and took 15 minutes). P.S. That is a lot of city miles because I am a rideshare driver with 1,500+ trips all in this car.

The only thing I've had to do, other than oil changes is the front ball joints and the oil filter assembly leaking; which seemed to be a problem this model has. Nothing major thank God, only had 63,000 when I purchased it and I've put about 30,000 in 3 1/2 years still going strong think I got blessed with this vehicle seeking as it will probably be the last one I own.

    Great review Scotty. I own a 2019 Charger RT Plus. I bought the Charger because I purchased a 16 Caravan for work and now with 105k, it has had the least problems of any vehicle I've owned. If you treat them right, they treat you right. You drive them into the ground, you have issues. I don't expect to put endless miles on a car and not having to service it. I also realize that you need to do more than oil changes. I address issues early. Previously I was a Volvo, VW and Ford driver. I was always at the dealer with one failure after another. I have 3k on the Charger and I must admit, I love the thing. The sound and feel when driving are awesome. It looks great, and I can fit three golf bags in the trunk without putting the seats down in the back! Can't do that in a Mustang.

      @@umerthemagnificent8672 No I’m not the first owner, my aunt used the car before me as a commuter back then. For one don’t race it like it’s a sport car, and just make sure to change the fluids ie engine/transmission. How many miles is yours? As far as the engine goes, it’s pretty solid. Dodge cars have a problem with the shifter, there’s a plastic piece that will break overtime which allows you to take your car from park into gear. You can replace the plastic assembly piece with a metal one or get a new shifter module. I just opened the assembly and manually pressed the safety button to take it out of park, that works too. And for the chain assembly I guess it depends on how many miles you got in order for it to wear down. You can replace that with the metal one.

Needs break pads that I plan to get replaced, Napa got racing spec pads ready for me. Other than that, she have good wheels, paint on her is great. She was made in "Canada" , that we do agree on. Sometimes it the owner who is the issue i.e used soda can, the interior is begging for Armorall, and yea it hurts to see that
    She is definitely a beautiful, spacious ride, solid ride. Only paid 8K for the old DA's car. As for bottom of the line, Camaro I believe has that slot answering a few comments below. At least for me.

      Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?

      It's because Chargers and Challengers are actually pretty good cars considering. Chrysler puts all their money into them since they are pretty much their flagship vehicles.

    Try the 3.6 Pentastar in an Avenger...similar power in a smaller package, it is downright GTO-esque (as long as you can forgive the fwd). 👍 Have loved every minute driving my '13.
