I really like my tiptronic. I use it more for downshifting though. I think the transmission knows the rpm upshift points better than I do.
I'm missing that Cummins motor already.

Well I got lucky. The previous owner traded for a new 300 and this was the first day on the lot(and the website) for mine. I just happened to get there right after they opened and made the deal quickly.

Props to her for wanting a manual(and to you for marrying a woman who wants a manual
).

Five years behind the wheel of a Dodge diesel it's tough driving something else.

Just saw your response.
I've lived in South Florida since 1952 and never knew until now that the north end of Haulover was a gay hang out.
It has always been a topless beach for the European tourists...
But, leave it to a 66 year old flute player from Dallas to educate OSO that the north end of Haulover was a gay hang out.
Wonders will never cease.

Yes they own a lot of those condos around the Inlet.
I played trumpet, French horn, Trombone and Baritone. No flute, or skin flute such as you played.

So, I guess you've spent time there, to be able to make such an astute observation. Why is that, Cat?
Is that why your handle is CATMANDO? Cat's are usually in the closet. CAT MAN DO. Makes a person wonder?
Food for thought.

Not what I was told. As to your instrument of choice.

Yes I've been to Haulover, more than once.
If you want to know how cats operate I suggest you go hunting for the Florida Panther. At night. With nothing but your own wits to defend yourself with. Let's see how long you survive...

You were lied to by some f*ckhead who wanted to bash me with lies.

AS to your hunting analogy. Here's one you can participate in. Two guys at opposite sides of a forest. Each armed and it's night. You enter at the same time and stalk your opponent. Whoever comes out is the winner. A lot of fun, you game?

Well I need to get it out on the road and run it on the four cylinder mode to see what that will get. In town here, running the a/c, it's probly 10-12. If he's getting 25-26 that gives me hope for mine.
No I have 18" wheels and Goodyear 225/60R18 tires. I just looked at Vredestein but the reviewer for the 18" tire said his would go maybe 25,000 miles. That sucks.
My ultimate goal is getting the Jetta TDI. I was working with Autobahn in Ft. Worth but they did NOT want my truck because they offered me rock bottom trade in price for it. So I went to a Dodge dealer thinking they would give me more and they did. Now when the 2011 TDIs come out I'll go back and see what I can get for the 300. If they try to screw me on that I'll just put it on Ebay and/or Craigs List and sell it that way.
This car is butter smooth and quiet. If I can figure out how to get over 20mpg on the hwy I might just keep it. I've gotten three compliments on it already at the gas stations.
The HemiC badge commands respect even with the young adults.
