v19 and v20 are much faster than v18. v20 is really just v19 with better DVD support and some minor big fixes. Expect NavTech to send out new map CDs by the end of the month. I can have a DL link for you if you want to upgrade.

Shelby doesn't make Dodge. There's no such thing as a "Shelby Dodge" - it just sounds funny.

Oh, and Mustangs ROCK, provided that you get the right year.

There were lots of Shelby Dodge cars in the 80s and early 90s... Dodge Shadow, Dodge Charger, even a Dodge Omni and a Dodge Dakota!

Those are Dodge cars. Those aren't necessarily cars made by dodge, then taken and rebuilt by Shelby.

That's true, but there were Shelby versions of each of those cars. The Daytona, and later on, the Dodge Spirit R/T were quite fast!

It's not a Shelby Ford Mustang, it's a Shelby Mustang.
It's not a Shelby (whaterver) Cobra, it's a Shelby Cobra.
It's not a Shelby Dodge Viper, it's a Shelby Viper.

For those curious, it's a 1975 Plymouth Duster.

Nice, another Mopar guy!! :D


That's right! Here's one that I sold a few years ago.
Yes, I did actually like this car!
Another

Awesome!
well i had an 88LeBaron GTS... was a fantastic car.. had 260,000 kms.. ran mint.. so comfy to drive and so reliable... miss that car. :(


I miss that Reliant because it was so big and comfortable. Felt like I had a couch up front! I have a Saturn now, and it is NOT comfortable at all. The Duster was pretty nice too, although it didn't have as much front leg room, but it had a nice big cloth bench seat too. That was a fun car to drive around.

Allow me to explain


Dodge Daytona Shelby (as in Shelby edition), Dodge Lancer Shelby - Dodge car, built in a factory, performance parts inspired by Shelby (including my R/T, though it's not a *true* Shelby).

Shelby GLHS, Shelby CSX, Shelby Lancer - Shelby car, built in Shelby's plant in CA in the same vein as the Shelby GT350's/500's. Each car has its own number, very limited.

and they're not "shelby dodges" either
Yes, in fact that's what they're called. Whether you interpret it as "Shelby Inspired Dodges" or "Shelby's based off of Dodges", that's the name that's used for them. I know what you mean by saying they're not Dodges built by Shelby, but the name used to group all of the cars together is Shelby Dodge :)

(One of many rides that I own)

That's awesome, VW buses are great. I would pick one up, but I don't know enough about fixing buses or have enough money to spend on a good bus mechanic in order to support one :disgust:. I was camping on the west side of Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park last summer and some guy there had a yellow bus setup just like yours except I think he had a big flower painted on it somewhere. He was there with his wife and kid, kicking back in the great outdoors - so very awesome. I was out on a road trip with two of my high school buds and one of them went over to the guy and talked to him for a couple minutes before he left. He honked at us as they left, it was cool, lol :).

My ride will waste everyone!

Awww, it's the V6 - I was hoping it's at least be a turbo 2.5 - so your statement could hold true ;)

Actually it is the 3.3L V6, and I think I read somewhere that it has a turbo. However, whenever I drive, I try to keep the revs under 2200 - 2300 unless I have to get up higher on the highway to go past 70 mph, so people think I'm a grandma or something, lol! (To keep my fuel mileage in check.)
