Either a Stingray or a Manatee, I'm not sure which............

I've gone well above that 15% in my '98 Cherokee via splash blending during the winter with the only issue being where I choose to do so at and how it has to be done at that location. Needless to say, I'm not worried in the least. If we had stations that would sell E15-E25 straight from the pump, I'd run that in it all the time. I'm actually more concerned about the Toluene that is present in gasoline and it's affects on my Jeep's plastic gas tank and any other plastics in the fuel system, since that is like blending Testors' Red Tube model cement into the gas.

Looks too good to be Palmer.

Nice score there Nick, those have to be my favorite style of stamped steel rims, don't care if they're GM, Chrysler, or AMC!

It was for me, I think the one in my Jeep was around $45-$50 and is a similar in filtering surface area and I was able to easily find it. Then again, being a Cherokee, it can be a struggle not finding parts for it!

Thanks, I've had one in my Jeep for around 100k miles, been nice to have in it just for the cost reasons alone. That's not going to be a problem, Chrysler uses Speed-Density systems that use MAP sensors instead. We're all good there

$40! When I was trying to find one after the dealer's service department told me "it needed to be replaced", I found nobody local carried one (which also fits the Avenger and Journey with the Pentastar V-6), but they could order one. $60 for the filter and all but one place also wanted another $12-$15 to have it shipped to their store! Summit had them for only $40 and another $10 for shipping, just never got around to ordering one. When talking to a buddy who's working on De-FUBARing a 5.0 GT Hatch, he told me he was planning on ordering stuff from Summit and would order one for me since his order was going to be big enough to get free shipping no matter what. Had him add it to his order, and the mountain of boxes showed up before he came to work yesterday...........apparently, that K&N was one of the smaller items he ordered

Drop in K&N filter for my 200!

Sounds like here, luckily most of what I saw was more just flurries.

Found this on the 200 owners forum I joined a couple years back, if Chrysler continues with the 200 convertable on the new chassis, I hope it looks like this!

Neat build, road looks like it has to be a whole lot of fun too!

I had a customer tell me last week that he was in a store that wouldn't take cash or check, debit or credit only?! After he found out, the told the owner or manager that the store lost his sale because of that policy the walked out leaving everything behind.

We already have a skim layer here, if this keeps up, I may have to at least break out the shovel, if not the snow blower.

Could be the alloy it's made out of, there are some pretty stout alloys out there, but it has to be expensive.

That's something that they will have to adapt to, maybe some clever body man will open a shop to repair aluminum bodied vehicles exclusively since there will be more and more being built in years to come.

I like the 200 from the "leaked" pics and info I've seen, if I were in a position to buy a second one or something happened to cause me a loss of my current car, I would definately look at that. Maybe a similary trimmed '16 but with the Jeep AWD added to the mix I just hope they add better tires to the mix too, mine has the factory 18's (which are the optional size.on the Touring model, stock is 17"), and those come with 225/50TR18 Goodyear Eagle LS2. They would probably be ok on the 4 cylinder/4-speed rentaslugs, but aren't really enough for the 4 cylinder/6-speed cars and you can believe me when I say that those are nearly useless on then V-6/6-Speed cars like mine that make 100hp more than the 4's do. Dry pavement is marginal, wet pavement more or less requires, then the few times I've driven it in snowy conditions instead of my Jeep, the traction control light looks like it's trying to send morse code at the slightest throttle use!

I refuse to get a debit card, actually had somebody give me a hard time about that and about a week or so later he had somebody snag his debit account info while buying R/C parts on line! Actually, one of my reasons for liking to buy fuel from Woodmans is that they will take personal checks at the gas station!

Mom is in the hospital (CDH for the locals) and as I pulled into the underground parking I found this 4-Runner parked in the entrance lane last night. For reference, here's a pic I shot today.

I actually find tht more believable!

I know it's not of at the cost, performance, or rarity level of that Camaro, but I would be furious if that happened to my 200. Probably to the point that I'd demand it's replaced with something comparable (maybe a similar 200 or Avenger program car off the lot or comp me on a similarly optioned 2015 200 once available) and that if they didn't press grand theft charges, I would be!

I thought was a take on Badonkadonk, since the true full sized Chevy's had a huge aaa...............err...trunk.

We were a day off like what happens during holidays.

Hey Harry, was your garbage pick up delayed this week to?

Lol, Harry! I ran Rt. 38 from West Chicago to St. Charles going to work today and there were some pretty healthy ones from where it meets Washington St./Fabian Parkway all the way through Geneva to the strip mall we're in. It was bad enough I sent my sister a text telling her to watch out for them while she was out today. My Jeep is still rolling on 15's wearing 235/75R15 Wranglers, but her Charger and my 200 have 18's with very short sidewall tires! That is kinda funny, It's the same here. We would have to go to school in the cold we had, a well as when the snow was severe, but they aren't doing that any more. I remember one year in high school that our van slid amost as much as it drove due to the road conditions around my school. I'm kinda wondering if it's wussification of the younger generations, fear of lawyers, or now senior staffers as well as teachers my age that remember going to work/school in really sketchy conditions and not allowing that to continue.

Isaw something on the news about that, supposedly Chicago is already starting on putting cold patches into the ones that have since appeared.
