Shuff great Truck!.  I keep my daily drivers for a long time.  They keep my Hellcat in the garage.  It isn't driven in rain or during the winter.  Drag radials just don't make it in either rain or snow.

I had a 2004 Chevy Impala I had to put some money into of course, New intake manifold and gasket, new water pump, new front struts etc.  After 205K miles it was time to go when a head gasket went.

It had a 3800 V6 outstanding engine but when the firewall side head gasket went south it was time to replace my daily driver.  I have a friend at the MoPar Dealership call me and tell me a 2016 Jeep Trailhawk came in for service with 50K miles and was in brand new condition that would be my daily driver I went to look at it.  The older couple while there traded in their Trailhawk and purchased a new vehicle.  It was as advertised!  Granite in color with a satin black hood stripe and black leather and every option one could have including Sirius (which I have in my Hellcat)  It was like showroom quality.

I picked up my Buddy from High School days and went to drive it.  2.4 cyl 4 cylinder, 9 speed auto transmission.

I purchased it on the spot. The Hellcat is the last new car I will ever purchase.  It's my forever play toy.  The Trailhawk is gorgeous and perfect for what I want.
