Who's this guy? Well, just this past week, I decided to trade the ole' Dodge Ram in for a new whip...

Pimpin'!

2012 Chrysler 300 with the new Pentastar 3.6L V6 powerhouse... Yay!

Got some mods planned for the future, but nothing crazy. Definitely window tint, maybe some 18" or 20" chrome & black wheels, and HIDs for the OEM headlights.

fixed.

and also, i'm jelly. but please for the love of god don't do black rims..
i just noticed the other day how played out black rims are as i was
merging onto the highway into a wolf pack of 4 cars all with black
rims.. and from my experience they're just a pain to keep clean

Looks amazing...I really like the direction Chrysler vehicles are going.

Thanks, everyone! I love the car and the power that the new V6 offers is incredible! It would've given my previous Crown Vic Police Interceptor a run for its money. The truck was horrible for gas mileage and was starting to rot from the underside through so I had to get this done. Also, I figured some day (hopefully soon) I'll have a little one to tote around and he/she will look good in a car seat in this one.

I love the new designs of the 300 myself... I was originally looking at the new Chargers and I was really set on one until I drove this car. The ride was quite a bit nicer and you get more "bang for your buck" this route. I think Dodge's price tag on the Charger is more because it's a modern muscle car... Not a price tag based on its costs and features.

As for the 8 speed transmission, I pretty sure it's available, but mine didn't have that option.

Rawkbunny, sorry, I had it listed on Cars.com for about 3 days and then my new vehicle purchase started way quicker than originally anticipated. I even ordered die-cut vinyl FOR SALE decals for the truck and got them in the mail the day I traded it in. DAMMIT! lol

Congrats! I've always had a soft spot for the 300's

The day that I picked up my '04 SXT, my Dodge salesman showed me advance pics of the Daimler 300 and I absolutely hated it. I had been such a fan of the FWD 300M Specials (my dream was to have kind of an SRT version with an MTX

) and thought that the Germans had lost their minds. Now with all of the Fiat interior upgrades and exterior restyling, the new 300 is absolutely gorgeous.

You need to be on the boards more often.

Remember that they called the Neon "Chrysler Neon" in Europe?
It was stupid enough to explain what the "difference" between Chrysler and Dodge is.
Hmmm, well - the new 300C is called "Lancia Thema" now.
I absolutely hate that.
I will never buy it with European badges - rather i would pay for shipping and inspection stress.
Totally stupid!

They could have called it "Lancing Thelma"

Why thank you very much, Crystal!

Yours are pretty hot, too.

I can't wait to start a few things with this... They'll only be mild mods, though. Keepin' it clean and pimpin'.

Heard an ad on the radio... 300 hp and 31 mpg.

Damn, how many 300 horse neons get 31 mpg?

Yea, sorry. I'm still trying to figure things out and nothing seems to be working out right.
