Dodge/.44 Magnum
The team turns a Dodge Magnum RT into a speeding train

 

I saw it... it slipped off the track near the end, and slid to a halt 4 ft. from the finish line. The train was way behind it, but it ultimately won. On a side note, I actually like the Magnum, and I never thought I would. :scratch:

 

Seems to be popular, I've seen two tractor trailers full of 'em this week. Unless they are stocking dealers?

 

i saw one on the raod the other day... it was ok... needed wider tires from what i saw

 

I saw most of the show, but missed the finished product, but looked like it was gonna be good.

 

Drove behind a Magnum (silver) the other night, nice looking car...would look good next to a 300 in the garage

Not as if I'm into that kinda of thing

 

 

The finished project:

 

Love the "cow catcher" on the front. I missed the episode, but looks pretty cool!

 

they're just modern day station wagons

 

true... and suvs are minivans with bigger tires and a truck front end.

 

This doesn't look like a minivan to me...

EDIT: I retract the statement about motorcycles. It was uncalled for.

 

when i say suv i dont mean a jeep wrangler which was around before the term suv even existed. i mean the preferred transport of soccer moms overgrown station wagons that just happen to look like a truck from the front.

darn guess i missed the motorcycle comment.

 

So what, there's nothing wrong with wagons. And besides, it sure is one mean wagon, and plus, its got a hemi. Thats no ordinary wagon.

 

i'd rather have a bunch of station wagons on the road than a ton of 4x4 excursions that will never see off road use driven by soccer moms who can hardly see over the dash, talking on the cell phone, sipping a latte, while applying lipstick, and yelling at the brats in the back...

at least in a station wagon maybe they wont feel as invincible because they arent 4 ft above traffic... altough i'm sure the rest of the above description will still apply.

people just need to learn how to drive instead of buying tanks and hope the poor sob they hit is driving something with less metal.

ok rant over.

 

I took out the motorcycle comment because I didn't want to be offensive. I think you’re a cool guy HDWrench, and what I said wasn’t cool.

and as far as the HEMI thing... IMHO, I might be wrong, but I think if having a HEMI was such an AMAZING thing... wouldn't all cars be HEMI's?

Back in the day, which I wish I knew about (So don't get me wrong), I am sure it was amazing due to lack of fuel injection, computer controls, variable cam timing... but now.. I would assume its a different story.

EDIT: I totally agree that MOST people need to learn how to drive... but that's no matter what they drive.

 

no prob romero... i didnt see it so i guess i cant take offense. but likewise if i say something about suvs that is not directed at any person and i guess you read above what i think a "suv" is...

 

There are two different types of SUVs out there, as illustrated below.

Sport Utility Vehicle:


Streetbound Ultra-sized Vehicle:

 

BTW that Magnum Train is awesome. I can't wait to see it in repeats.
