Hopefully they had Liberty Mutual, otherwise that drive-off depreciation is gonna suck.

And "good". That's a fucking butt-ugly color for a car.

Hah....perfect response to a Dodge. For the money on an American sports car, I'd take a 2015 Corvette Stingray. I'm not big on Corvettes, but I just feel like it'd hold its value better and probably handle better than the Hellcat. Buying a car merely on HP is ridiculous if it doesn't have handling to match....

The wreck happened in Colorado....who knows, maybe the guy driving was stoned or he hit an icy patch in the road. 😛

If you can't drive it, don't buy it. Can't stress that enough.

It's difficult for people to comprehend how much power 700 HP is. Even having AWD wouldn't be enough to make this safe. You could spin all 4 tires at once, and you could probably do that in third gear.

It just turns into a dick measuring contest. It's just like computers. Does anyone actually need a 12 core CPU overclocked to 5ghz? No, but penis++. Can anyone actually use 700HP? Not really, but some people have really sucky lives and they need something to brag about.

A Quality Assurance Engineer/Structural Designer who can't drive/take control of a 707hp car. Will the car be replaced by insurance? 🙄

See that's a color that should be licked, not driven around. aka: Popsicle, lollipop, etc.

The only cars that I can see with that color should be riding low with purple groundFX and white shag interiors with the back seats ripped out for full bass boxes. Oh, and the driver's seat reclined all the way back so the young dude of colah with his flat-rim ball cap cocked to the side about 30 degrees, saggy-ass drawrs, bright white kicks and NY Knicks jersey that can't even sit up high enough to see over the steering wheel.

Yes, my racial stereotype prejudicing is showing through. But that's how I imagine cars of this ilk and color. I'm a car racist.

(To be fair, in retrospect around here it'd be the latinos that'd drive that, but with the exact same garb)

That color looked hot circa 1972, with lots of black decals and racing stripes. 2015? You should have your head examined.

My guess is the insurance for these cars, which was likely to be high already, is going to get even higher. So, if you were thinking about getting this car and were pissed at the insurance quote you can thank morons like this guy.

If youre buying a 70K car you really shouldnt care about maintenance, gas, and insurance.
 
They really should offer driving classes with the purchase. That's too much power for the standard "Well, I used to own a Civic Si" driver to handle.

It's also too much power for the "Well, I used to be a Dodge Aries" brakes and suspension to handle. It's the perfect storm of idiot driver, too much power and badly engineered car that's selling on retro chic rather than BMW-level design.
 
Lol I drive Riverdale road often. I can see how this dumbass wanted to test out his lack of diving skills on a curvy road. good thing he didnt kill anybody there are quite a few blind curves on Riverdale.

I never really thought about it that way but I understand now that you are correct. BMW level of design means all your time is spent at the shop drastically reducing your potential for crashing. You are a deep thinker.....
