My daily driver is a 2012 Dodge Charger R/T. I drive around 20k miles a year and it is a great combo of power and luxury. I compared it to a Taurus SHO and while the turbo was fun the Hemi v8 won me over quickly. The Boss is strictly a fun car for me.

2012 Focus SE, Yellow Blaze, Manual
Getting ready to sell it so I can get an affordable Expedition so I can have room to put my wife and soon-to-be two kids in and hopefully tow a dedicated race car which is TBD. (Sorry Boss, you're just too expensive to make an actual competition race car.)

Had to get my DD while waiting for the Boss to be built after I sold my 2010 G37S. 3rd owner of a FL 97 Grand Marquis w/69k all original. My 14 yo can't wait to get his hands on it, esp after I put in a nice stereo in it.

89 sprint, that's awesome. Wasn't that somehow related to the Geo Metro? It's gotta be efficient.
Glad to see some other motorcycle riders here. Particularly sport bikes. I bet that the Boss 302 attracts riders.
Acura TSX wagon has always been a car I secretly admired. I also like the audi sportwagons and the CTS V wagon.

As I mentioned, family man now, so its 09 Flex (wife's) and 11 Malibu ( my ever so boring but has a moon roof car). Still trying to sell a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport in case anyone is looking for a cheap ORV build

Nope, nice comfy cruiser with cloth interior. It's the opposite of the Boss, invisible in traffic, quiet, slow, gets dirty parked outside, etc. but I love this thing, tons of room, a 2 body trunk, heh, and gets good MPG. Added a remote start too so I can warm it up on those cold winter mornings.

Since I'm in north Texas my '12 Boss is my daily driver except for a couple of days each year that we get snow. When I have to haul the kids I use my wife's '13 Durango R/T, she's a Mopar girl so we have a lot of fun smack talking each others' cars.

Right now I don't have a DD so my Boss is my DD. But this Friday I should be picking up a 94 Nissan Pathfinder for DD/Winter. I'm only mad that my Boss will get better MPG's than the Nissan lol.

It drives awesome. Doesn't have the raw power of the SHO, but the handling and braking is great. The Titamium sport seats are very grippy and nicely bolstered but not as confining as the Recaros in the Stang and Focus ST. I hope they make these the standard seats in future stangs.
The sport position on the transmission is much better than the M in the SHO. You can put it in sport, and it adjusts engine shift points, stability and steering settings. If you elect to shift on your own it will do that once you shift with the paddles it stays in manual mode, otherwise it is in full auto but with a more aggressive shift schedule.
