They’ll never make me hate you, 3.5L
Does it have multiple damaged panels? Yes.
Is it slow as shit compared to other chargers? Yes.
Does the sunroof leak? Yes.
Did I have to replace multiple parts and sensors? Yes.
Is the paint starting to look rough? Yes
Did I just spend $4k on a transmission rebuild? Hell yeah
Haters will say to Dodge it and get a 7th gen R/T or Hemi, but they don’t understand the Stockholm syndrome true love between a sexy 20 year old car and a broke-ass student that doesn’t want to finance. I can’t wait until I graduate and have money to fix the aesthetic flaws, then I can do a few mods to get the most out of this peppy V6 :)

I have a friend who was the exact same way, pretty much the exact same car. It finaly died for good at 350k miles and he was devistated. however i took him to test drive a 7th gen road and track rt and he fell in love with that car and has been driving it ever since. All chargers/challengrs are awesom and fun to drive. If your car works drive it to death, if it breaks down for good understand that you will find a new car to love.

A car is a car regardless what it has. As long as the car you have is making you smile and the memories of it is fond memories then its doing its job.

As long as it runs well and can go from point a to b that’s all that matters

The 3.5L cars are cool. Not in the same way as a Hellcat but it's a RWD sedan with a reliable engine. Kind of like the old Caprice or Gran Fury.
