It was an excellent idea, but I received so many immediate replies, and I made my selection, so I'll just give you the results for your edification (that's a word we learned in technical writer's school--what self-respecting technical writer would use a good, clear word like "information" when he/she can use "edification?"). All 12 positive replies were from Charger/Laser/Daytona/Turismo owners. There were two negative replies--one admitted a "personal bias" and the other owned a LeBaron with a computer- to-engine synchronization problem. So, my decision to buy a Charger with air conditioning and NO TURBO was made. Mind you, I made this decision carefully-- I weighed important considerations, and we're not just talking the 8.8% financing. We're talking Big-Time Net.Auto here--we're talking turning radius and torque and Consumer Reports and frequency of repair. We are talking INTELLIGENT CONSUMER here. So I walked into the Dodge showroom, fell HEAD OVER HEELS for the American Dream: a garnet red pearl Daytona with Turboeverything. I bought it on the spot (at least I got the 8.8% financing). So I thank you for your time, and were I not a weak, spineless wimp, I'm sure I could be an informed buyer like the rest of you. But I am what I am, and what I am right now is someone who is going to leave this terminal and go out on the highway and hit turbo and PASS EVERYTHING!!!
