For full features; Go to Dodge Charger Flash Site
Dodge put up a new Flash Site for the 2006 Charger...pretty cool. Been
looking around a little bit and can finally figure out the names for all
the colors... they also have a cool part under power that takes apart the
engine. Flash sites are so much better than freakin static sites, good
move dodge.
Charger Unleashed Site (http://www.dodge.com/charger/)
I am liking the R/T more these days though the SRT-8 still maintains the
best style.
boothe
Pretty cool, I spent half an hour to try and get as much money for the
Charger as possible, up to $36,000.
chris_knows
Coupe - Maybe in a while. But the four door charger is pretty mean IMO,
take the SRT-8, one awesome looking car anyway you look at it. Especially
in black on the models page...sweeet!
You check out the induction unit video? Is that all done in Flash, its
really cool animation the way the buildings collapse. And a shocker, the
music is actually pretty good.
chris_knows - you must be playing around on the build a charger site...or
is that something else in the flash site I missed?
boothe
No, I went to Ready, Set, Unleash, and then to Build and Price at the top
of the pop-up...I do it on all car sites when I have nothing else to do...

I'm blind.
Have you seen the new Charger commercials running during the Pistons-Spurs
NBA finals?
boothe
Here is the video from the Finals where the Charger Drag Races if you
haven't seen it:

Stupidest commercial ever. Yeah, a Charger is gonna beat a car that runs 4s
Oomba
The symbolism my friend. The charger has the power and the speed of a
muscle car yet has the practicality for a common man that drinks coffee and
pays tolls. Balance. Yin and Yang. Sun and Moon.
ps. That sig video is hilarious. Made my whole office crack up.
boothe
And the weight of the Oprah Winfrey show's studio on Weight Loss makeover
week.
Oomba
That flash thing is pretty cool.
GreekWarrior
Yeah, keep on going back and pricing chargers like chris_knows. And the
animated video is really cool.
boothe
That flash thing has got so much money and time put into it. I be t some
dude got **** loads of mulah to make it too! Not bad, but I still think
Dodge could have made the car look more like it's ancestors! :cussing:
try2playJAY
Regardless of price, the site is really cool. Its nice to be able to get
close to a car if you can't actually go to it and see it in person. And
the pricing is nice to have.
Has anyone driven the dodge autostick? It is available with the Charger,
how do you like it?
boothe
not quite yet - planning on taking one out for a rip soon :)
dodgerforlife
I am trying to track down pictures of the autostick. It is simply the + 1
controls for shifting up and down gears, right? Does tha magnum have the
same option?
boothe
Found this the game while playing with the Induction download program with
Dodge:

Its downloading as we speak.
boothe
First: You are my hero for finding this.
Secondly, and off topic: I'm back from vacation.
dodgerforlife
Heh. I was definitely psyched to find it. THat induction unit that you
can download through the flash program has a lot of hidden goodies in it.
Check it out.
I havne't played it yet but its sitting on my desktop. I might get to it
during lunch if I have time.

where did you go for vacation?
google.com
first few days were spent at duck mountain provincal park, relaxing and
fishing(Caught several Pickerel(great eating!), and a hell of a tan).
next few days were spent at the Craven Country Jamboree (CCJ
(http://www.cravencountryjamboree.com/)), where I was "working" - I drove
around all day selling water(easiest job ever) - got VIP access, met Tim
McGraw, Brad Paisley, Lonestar, George Canyon, Poverty Plainsmen....great
guys, they are all the same as me....except they make a hell of a lot more
money, and they can sing better.....lol...
also saw a lot of hotties out there :thumbs:
dodgerforlife
Sounds like you had fun, Welcome back :thumbs:
Good 'ol Canada, good musicians (not a country music fan myself) and a
bunch oh 'hotties' :mrgreen:
car_crazy89
Pickerel? Eatin them up? How you cook pickerel? I've never thought baout
keeping them yet.
I went fishing in northern maryland with my bro and pulled out this
enormous pickerel, a good 3 - 3.5 feet of chunky meat (me not good at
weight estimates) but it was a wild one and the lure was caught way down in
his mouth. Just so happens that the ranger thought it was a good time to
come check our permits as we were fighting to get this guy back in the
water. Aha, memories, those guys fight like crazy.
So as far as that game goes, I would be really sad if that was my charger.
I was all over the place. Car must have been destroyed, but a lot of fun
doing it. You find a way to switch the view? I want to see it in motion
from the outside.
boothe
over a campfire - little lemon pepper + butter, wrapped in tinfoil. damned
good!
my skills at that game are about as good as yours lol
oh and by hotties i meant titties....
dodgerforlife
I guess it would be good for me to learn to filet a fish first...heh. But
I have always wanted to catch something nad then cook it right up. My
brother did that once with a catfish out of a somewhat questionable lake in
jersey. Heh, tasted like crap.
I just can't get a handle on that charger. Everytime I approach a turn I
cry a little for wrecking a beautiful vehicle :doh: .
Do you know how they are selling so far? The June stats must be around
somewhere, right?
boothe
Chargers are at 6,195 YTD through June 2005

Ya Boothe, i've tried the game and its too 'squirrely'. I was surprised
when last week i saw a new Charger driving around here, and it was a woman
driver :laughing:
car_crazy89
That is pretty good with the limited offerings. What you guys think?
Think it was just a lot of huff-and-puff about the doors and name?
A bit squirley for sure. Its almost more fun just to ride around and crash
into things and spin out. Biggest wreck wins.. :laughing: I need to go
play some more and see what weird things you can do.
EDIT: Wow my spelling is horrible.
boothe
So I was looking into this show because TV sucks right now and I saw a
trailer for it before a movie I saw in the theater. Looks like good old
senseless violence and the like which i can veg out too. But I came across
this article that the charger is going to be in a bunch of the episodes.
