So, what have you got in that thing?
A ladder, 12 2x4's, a couple amps, and a guitar
Best commercial in a long time

I thought the "Open it up...from either end" slogan was better advertising.
In other news, the new Dodge Charger looks like a cross between a Dodge Magnum and a Chrysler 300, comes with the 5.7 liter Hemi, and makes me want to puke in my soup.
Chrysler's 5.7 Liter HEMI doesn't compare to the oldschool 426ci HEMI and the new Charger looks like shit compared to the smooth muscular lines of the 60's and 70's Chargers. I really wish Chrysler would stop this constant barrage of "nostalgia advertising" and just come up with some new ideas.
Sorry for the rant, enjoy your new ride

i didn't need all the hemi crap.. thats why i went with the base version of the magnum.. i can mess with it a bit and get it the way i want for crazy amounts less
base magnum (the price i got it for, didn't get charged the dealer markup) $22,645... hemi one $34k NOT including dealer markup

Yeah big difference in price on trim levels on the Magnum. I was looking at those myself for a second, you can get them with all-wheel-drive, good up here in the mountains. Ive always kinda had a fascination with hatchbacks and wagons also.

specialty is what its classified as i believe. They are going the old choptop look on their specialty cars aka 300 and Magnum.
Toss.. its a great car.. comforable, spacious enough for someone like me (5'11 250)... but pricy.. wait for next years.. should be lower cause of the specialty label going away cause if my dad wasn't a returning customer.. it would have been $27k i got it for $22k (minus the dealer markup).

Lots of room for your wax and equipment, plus some kickbutt horsepower.
