Bring Back Hood Mounted Directional Indicators

My Challenger has been great - though I must confess that I only drive it for recreation. I have no complaints except to say that there are gives and gets with such a sleek body style...and you have to take the bad with the good. My only suggestion is to please reintroduce something that's been missing for years from Dodge muscle cars - namely, the hood mounted directional signals. Yes, i know, they were a styling feature on the charger, but they made these cars so distinctively Dodge that they are always sought-after by buyers of old Chargers First, are they intact, and second....do they still work? Agreed, this feature adds nothing to the functionality or safety of the vehicle (similar to sequential directional signals offered by Ford), but they're so darn cool...and so darn Mopar! I swear, if they were offered on new Challengers, I'd trade my 2014 in on a new one. How shallow and immature is that? But then again, isn't that what's it's all about?

Beware of transmission recall "fix"...

2017 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

My 2017 Challenger SXT Plus that I recently bought used with 16,000 miles, I immediately took into the FCA dealership to "catch up" and ensure all recall work was done. The only one that wasn't was the cruise control where the control module had to be reprogrammed. Supposedly, the transmission issues (i.e. the vehicle still able to roll with the transmission selector in the "Park" position) which killed that Star Trek star was all fixed. But that obviously is not the case...even AFTER all this recall work! BEWARE! With a week after I was back from the dealer, I jacked the rear drivers tire up to do a tire rotation. I HAD IT IN PARK (but admittedly didn't have the parking brake on). With perhaps only a 10% grade on the street, the car after a few minutes ROLLED OFF THE JACK and onto the rear drum! (Luckily, I was not under the car - but beside it...and it happened slowly enough that I was able to get out of the way...). Anyway, was was EXTREMELY surprising to me (besides being the first car in 40 years I've ever had this happen to) was the fact that the car CONTINUED to roll down the street for about 10+ feet! This all with the transmission in Park!!! FCA has NOT apparently fixed this problem! So beware! Make sure your parking brake is well adjusted...that you ALWAYS use it...and never jack the car up on ANY incline - even a 10% one! If somehow FCA cannot fix this problem - just tell the owners and tell them (like I am here) on what to do and be aware of the serious, potential problem. Don't hide it until the NEXT owner is killed or maimed by their car falling on them! Mind you - I LOVE THE CAR. I just want to know what I'm getting for safety sake...

This is the car you wanted when you bought the 5.7

This is a whole new world of driving. Forget about gas mileage. You will automatically become 18 years old again. Drive this before you buy the 5.7. It's worth the extra money. Plenty of used ones around to save some cash. Dealer incentives if you want new. Sport Mode will probably turn this into an interstellar space ship, haven't tried it yet. I purchased a 1970 Dodge Dart 340 in 1970 which was fast. This car is faster. Exhaust rumble will wake you up. This is a mini Hellcat with more power than you will ever need. Crazy fast.
