    What are you currently driving

    Looking to REPLACE a vehicle with a Magnum? What are you currently driving and why do you want to REPLACE it with this new Dodge?

    Me: 2000 Ford Expedition, gas is starting to cost too much and this thing drinks it like crazy. I love my Expedition, but the time has come for it to move on, of course the magnum is a great motivation for this change!

    I am driving a 2000 Land Rover Discovery. Changing because I want to keep the utility/hauling side, but hate the gas guzzling/slow side. It's been an excellent SUV with absolutely no problems though. Hopefully the Dodge will be the same. I've never owned one before.

    Sold my 2002 BMW 330i. Now I'm getting lots of exercise walking around, waiting for my RT to be built.

    Sigh, splitting the difference between my Volvo (198K miles) and my LeMans (117K miles). Hey, I'm 18, cut me some slack! :P
    Why a Magnum? Only vehicle I'd ever need!

    I have a 2001 Stratus R/T (coupe) and I love the sportiness of it, but I'll be nearing 100K miles this December and I really need something that I can haul stuff in. I was 25 when I bought my Stratus and still in that spirited youth frame of mind. These days, I own a house and make frequent trips to the Home Depot, and I'm also a computer consultant, so I am frequently hauling computers and monitors around. Last but not least, I'm a bass player for a band and I need to be able to cart around my amp without stealin my girlfriends car.

    So, what kind of car would give me enough space to haul all of that and still be sporty? The Magnum. There are so many details in the R/T that amaze and excite me. I can't wait until December to buy a Magnu,. It will be like HAVING my cake and eating it!

    Replacing my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I hate it! I get 15 miles to the gallon in both my truck and my E55, however, the 15 miles are fun miles with heavy accelaration and fast driving in E55. There is no fun in the 15 miles FROM the Sport Trac. I want something that is more fun to drive, sporty and on the ground. I hate the unconnected road feel and a Roll-Over would just ruin my day. The Truck actually lifts and floats off the road when the road gets bumpy.:(

    I'm replacing a red 2000 R/T Durango. Lease is up & timing is everything. The 10-11mpgs doesn't help much either.

    The wife's 96 Caddy STS Seville and/or my 93 Typhoon - we'll miss them both but it's time for a newer vehicle.

    Does it matter if I'm ordering a 300C or a Magnum (this is the Magnum thread!) ? :lol:

    I had 3 cars, I'm whittling that down to 2. I've sold my 03 Mitsubishi EVO, I'm working on selling my 02 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 (or I'll just trade it in on the 300). My other car is a 03 Civic EX (40MPG!) which my fiancee drives.

    This car will technically be replacing my EVO, since the truck just sat in the garage until I needed mulch or to pick up some furniture!
