Bitter/Sweet

Well, I sold my magnum yesterday. I was sad to see it go but happy to get my new vehicle. As some of you know, my wife is pregnant with our third child (it's a boy by the way) and the magnum's rear seat was not wide enough to fit a booster seat, car seat, and baby seat. So I had to get a new vehicle and my wife let me get this (I hope you don't mind me crashing some of the get togethers. It's still mopar muscle

)

Congrats on yer boy!

Sweet ride man! I've always liked those. Arent the magnum's just as wide as these Jeeps? of course not as high but I always thought the magnum was pretty spacious in the back? Or does this have a third row?

No, they don't have a third row but the "hip room" of the rear seat in the magnum is 55" and the GCSRT8 is 62". That 7" makes a big difference when you try to put 3 car seats back there.

Thanks Junior. I may put a supercharger on it later but for the mean time I have a few small mods that I will probably do first that should hold me over for a little while.

Great ride. Good luck with it. You wouldn't need 3 car seats if you'd quit foolin' around...

LOL. That's what others have been telling us. We are going to make sure that 3 is the final number.

Nice Jeep, I'm sure your wife is younger than I was when our 3rd was born, but I gotta tell ya, that reaching the center seat in a Jeep around another car seat is not a piece of cake... I got so tired of hitting my head on the door frame that we had to sell ours and pick up a Suburban.... Now there's some headroom. Jeeps are great and I would give my husbands left nut for a GSRT8 LOL! Hopefully you and your wife will be smart enough to learn to duck.... (sometimes I am a VERY Slow learner) LOL!

Congratulations on the new baby, and the Jeep, It's a beauty! (Dang it I'm jealous!)
