2007 Chrysler 300C SRT8 | Car Ramblings & Reviews Blog & Discussion at Automobile Magazine (#)

„Grabbing hold by the mane for a couple of thrill rides, I found the SRT8 to be set up with beautifully calibrated suspension, steering, and brakes, not to mention the impressive and refined powertrain. So I nabbed a couple of my car guy friends and suggested they come along for a ride. One of them has since e-mailed, saying, "That was a really hot car you were driving. That kind of car shouldn't really be allowed on the road.“

I just rolled over the hundred thousand mark and I think my car is about to confront me with its first serious old age-induced problem. I do a lot of highway driving and I've begun to notice a rhythmic vibration at speeds of 60 mph and above.

Learn How To Install A Car Radio - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Head units are sized as single-din (a 180 x 50 mm panel) or double-din (180 x 100 mm panel) and you can often purchase an adaptor plate to fit a single-din unit in your double-din vehicle. The opposite was true for my car: I installed a double-din 7inch touch screen head unit, the Kenwood DDX-6019 available at www.Kenwood.com. Keep in mind that depths, although largely standard, could vary, so pay attention to how much space you have.“

Car Geeks and Snow | Editors' Soapbox Blog & Discussion at Automobile Magazine (#)

„My last car was a Subaru WRX shod with Dunlop Winter Sport M3 tires and it was the definition of winter fun. Decent ground clearance, a tail happy nature when slippery, and the unique flat-four engine note helped make the Subaru a fabulous cold weather companion although all the fun pushed my winter fuel mileage into SUV territory. The high fuel bills could not begin to dull my ear to ear smile.“
