    I never thought of the expense of replacing the batteries. Another reason for me to stay away from EVs.

    I see no trade-in value either, you know people will be wanting to trade one in as soon as they think they need a battery,

    What is the wheel base on the Charger, it looks shorter than our Chally's?

    Here is a comparison of the dimensions between a 2024 Charger Daytona and a 2023 Challenger. As you can see, the new Charger is a larger car.

    DIMENSIONS

    2024 CHARGER DAYTONA

    Wheelbase- 121 inches
    Length- 206.6 inches
    Width- 79.8 inches
    Height- 58.9 inches

    2023 CHALLENGER

    Wheelbase- 116 inches
    Length- 197.5 inches
    Width- 75.7 inches
    Height- 57.2 inches

    Looks can be deceiving, lotta metal on our cars, I got most of it polished, and waxed, just have to do the rear, and the passenger side.

    I am machine polishing, then waxing, not just waxing. I already have the area masked off, so might as well wax, and kill 2 birds with one stone as I go. Any how gotta pull the wheels, for cleaning, waxing, and rotation. Then the interior, the dealer used some scent that smells like a whore house, any ideas on what a good interior cleaner is? I want it to look like new this spring.

    Then I have the Jeep, still running, but I want to pull the transmission, and replace the front pump, gotta drop the fuel tank, and replace the sender, also have to fix a window regulator. Saving that for a summer project.

    Then the pickup, needs new rubber, I have the tires, gotta get them mounted, and balanced on my manual machine. LOL
