Default should have kept the cummins :(

Darn it guys! Instead of trading my 99 cummins in on the crossfire, I should have just kept it and have BOTH! This crossfire goes absolutely NOWHERE in the snow! I got stuck in the middle of the street today and had my fiance drive while I pushed it down the street . Why can't winter be over and done with???

Sorry to hear that... did you have the all season tires on it? I presume you did.

I had no trouble at all driving in the snow in my SRT6.

It's time to invest in a 90's Corolla, my friend... It'll be the best $1000 you ever spent...

LOL thanks for rubbing it in ha ha! Ya winter here isn't gonna be over for atleast another month , and we have been getting POUNDED with snow! There is so much snow that the state of Utah has actually used up all of their money that was reserved for plowing the streets! As for getting a corrolla, my uncle has one, don't those things get like 35mpg?

Yeah, beaters are great!! Just make sure you get one that's really cheap to maintain!!

Yearly running costs on mine are $800 for gas, registration, oil changes and insurance.

I would do that, but unfortunately my insurance will be quite a bit higher than yours, I always seem to get caught when I speed or do something wrong lol, I have quite a few tickets for speeding and i'm only 20 years old, so any car for me costs A LOT!
