    300C & Charger R/T ragtops

    Drove thru my dealers lot today (Spring Dodge, Spring, TX) --
    periodically check to see if an SRT8 might have come in
    (they have a 300 SRT8 on the showroom floor).
    I'm really interested to see a Jeep SRT8.

    Anyway, they have 2 convertibles: a 300C and a Charger R/T.

    Just for grins I asked what they're asking
    (the Charger looks pretty damn nice in SILVER)

    $59,000.

    Have a nice day. . .

    How could you not take pictures of a Charger convertible?

    Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you.

    That's funny, RIO -- I thought, man where's my camera.
    They're real close so I'll go get a shot or two.

    Here you go -- SILVER Charger ragtop -- $59K












    Sorry -- only took pics of the Charger -- if you look real close in picture 1 behind/under the speed limit sign, there's a BLACK 300C ragtop.

    Ok, I know it's different and super expensive (therefore cool because anything expensive is cool....right?) but this looks horrible IMHO. I don't like it at all.

    To me, it looks like the charger was involved in an accident and rolled. Rather than replace the roof they decided to "make" a ragtop. I really, really don't like it.

    Sorry guys :(

    And if you're going to install a strut grill, hack off your crosshairs :(

    EDIT: in all fairness I didn't like the 300 convertible I saw at the SoCal meet either. Sorry to whoever owned it :(

    Man's biggest mistake is to believe that he's working for someone else.

    Not crazy about the grill either, but in all fairness, my FLASH was on exacerbating the middle crosshair (which should have been removed).
    Without the flash, it wouldn't be AS NOTICEABLE.

    yeah, but the thing costs like $500. If I paid that much, I sure wouldn't want it to look like an overlay

    Hey, I'm with you -- for what they want the grill should be SILVER plated (and done right). The car is a bit BLINGY.

    They make the Challenger in a rag-top and I sell all my living relatives to an experimental lab for the down payment.
