New Daily Driver
I picked up a new DD yesterday. Here's the plan, I'm going to sell the C5 and pick up a late C4 LT4/LT5.
Now before you start, I still think the C5 is a better car, and even though it has really comfy seats and is easier to get in and out of, there is something about the angle my right leg sits which is causing issues. As I've told you all, I have very bad knees and I'm getting ready to get the right one replaced, there is no way I will be comfortable in the C5. For some reason, the C4 just doesn't cause that problem. No sense driving a car you're not comfortable in. Rest assured, I will be getting your opinions when I get it narrowed down a car or two. The new DD is a 2011 Charger with the New 3.6 V6 which puts out just short of 300 HP. I had to choose between the Camaro and the Charger, but the Charger was just more comfortable and much less expensive. I have a friend at Hertz that hooks me up on clean fleet vehicles, I get to pick and choose before they get auctioned and pay auction price. I then route it through a local dealership buddy and pick up the 100,000 mile drive train warranty from Chrysler. It has 21K miles and picked it up for very cheap. http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...e/Charger2.png http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...e/Charger1.png http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...e/Charger3.png |
Nice grab! I'm starting to have issues with my right leg also, and it does not matter what car I'm in. When I'm driving any car, my foot has the habit of laying on it's side. It makes it easy to hit the break petal driving like that. In my F150 truck, I tried to straighten my leg, but the seats just don't go back far enough.

I feel all your guys' pain. My left knee aches when it's resting while driving my S-10 Blazer or Mrs' Rat's C-RV,
but thankfully, the angle of my 84's seat saves the day! Silver lining is a perfect alibi for jetting the vette on any errand! Found out yesterday I have a torn meniscus, great! |

WOW! You make me feel guilty for complaining!
Of course, that's your job Oh Mighty Taurus..forgive my old-age driven sniveling like a rat.. How did you wreck your knees so well? Was Tonya Harding your sister? |
Sometimes newer is better, especially for the DD.
As far as the C4 goes, the more power the better with those cars. |

Nice DD John. Get some black wheels on it and it will be bitchen. :seasix:
You are the, let's call it 20th person I hear talking about the C5 and legs injury. Do you think it is that the seat sits too low and hyperlocks or extend your legs? |

No worries, I'll pick up a nice LT4 or LT5 in a month or two after the idiots out here quit driving up the prices because of Spring fever. May even get the 81 street legal again and replace the interior in the mean time. |

Chargers are really cool, but in black they're downright badass!
Very nice ride, Jon! |
