lookin 4 a new family car

The new Charger with the wrap around tail light is sweet. You could also look at a Chtysler 300C with a hemi or the SRT8. I don't think they come with a stick though.

the new charger in my opinion is one of the ugliest cars ever, plus having mechanical background i know they aren't reliable and no one carry's their parts, that also goes for the VW and Audi cars too... any one who's a mechanic here knows what I'm talking about.

I'd also recommend the VW Passat (2012 Motor Trend car of the year) or I'd love to have a VW CC.

VW brought out the Phaeton to directly compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-class and it never caught on. They are fairly rare in the US but quite popular in Germany. My father-in-law has been a VW mechanic for 40 years and he has a customer that occasionally brings in a Phaeton and he says it is a P in the A to work on.
Oh wow, just found an article that they might bring the Phaeton back. Interesting... I don't think there is much of a market for such a car.

According to him it's all modern cars. He goes on and on about the days he could jack up cars and fix anything and now he has to connect a computer to the car and scan that and reset this and reprogram that and replace sensors. lol

My grand father used to tell me that in his younger days he had an old Ford. I don't remember if it was a Model T or a Model A. But he said that when he was a young man the car would start knocking. He would pull of the road and drop the oil pan and look to see which bearing was failing. He would then drop that rod cap and cut a piece off of his belt and use that as a bearing until he could get another set of bearings. Could you imagine a repair like that today?
