So this guy escaped from jail in NC last week. Dangerous fellow.... I think he shot a cop. Anyway he broke into a house and stole the owner's car. A blue magnum. Advantage is that he can drive real fast because I think it is a hemi. Bad news is that I have yet to see any other Magnums on the road here in NC. Should be easy to spot.
More information on the stolen blue Magnum wagon. Apparently it was found at the bottom of a pond in rural NC. Did the escapee ditch it on purpose or was he hampered by its poor visibility. Guess we will find out when and if he is captured.
Sounds like you have Magnum Envy! What's the deal, can't afford one?
I miss not having a wagon.... right now I have 2 sedans. And would love the hemi. But I am concerned about what is going to happen to gas prices in the next few years.
Dude,
First you knock the visibility, I responded that based on my personal experience of owning a Durango, a 69 Mustang, and a Magnum RT, that the visibility in the RT is exceptional. Then you move to the gas issue.
In my 2005 Dodge Magnum RT (Hemi Engine), I get 23-24 mpg on the freeway if it's long distance and I don't exceed 72 mph. In the city/combined, the worst I've gotten even when I hot rod it, is 17.9 mpg. Not bad for a 2 ton wagon with 340 hp, 390 lbs of torque.
Now instead of constantly complaining about the Magnum, why don't you go buy a standard transmission PT Cruiser Wagon, or an econobox like the Hyundai Santa Fe, or some other fuel efficient 4 banger.
Please don't get me wrong, the only reason I respond is not to shut you up, or any of that flaming type non sense, I respond only because I think you are sincerely deliberating over buying a vehicle and that you needed that final nudge to shit or get off the pot! If I'm wrong, please forgive me.
