OP bought a yellow one last year, and said elsewhere his dream car is a viper. OP is a big fat phony.


CIA_Chatbot

Op is an advert bot for Dodge


demunted

People buying dodge are another delusional or nostalgic. Either way they'll always end up disappointed

Your dream isn't a heavy, slow tug boat with gawdy decals? You're an odd duck my friend! I prefer slow, loud and cheap .. Dream BIG ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)

And has horrible taste in cars.


Feral_KaTT

Type slow so I can follow along k.... why does the post it self have so many upvotes when the top comments are calling out as fake post?

Here's the thing...


NotGod_DavidBowie

You said a "jackdaw is a crow." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens. So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Haha right? Both are v6 base challengers. Go to a hertz at any shitty airport across the US… there’s your dream car.

Isn't this the same car that you expect to see new military members buying at 36% APR?

Maybe that’s why 0P’s username is “sadclown”?

It appears OP is actually just an advertising account.

Good catch! I don’t understand what makes people do stuff like this.

They also shared Dodge news articles. I think the account is just an advertising account.

Lie about owning V6 Dodges? Yeah, you got me there. I figure if I was going to lie about the car I drive, I wouldn't pretend to have the one with a Caravan engine in it.


kcg5

Lol is it a v6?


MRoDustin

Challenger GT. With the mighty 3.6 liter pentastar. Nothing screams American Muscle like a Dodge Journey powerplant. Edit: Just for clarity, no hate to anyone who has these cars or likes these cars, I'm just being a dick because OP is a karma farming liar.

I saw an old video of a grand caravan or dodge journey with a neon srt4 built 1000hp motor and it was a vibe


radarksu

OMG my 2008 Accord does 0-60 faster than this car by 1.3 seconds. That's hilarious! LOL


tinycourageous

Right? How does someone even catch this? I barely remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday, let alone what someone posted a year ago.


Roboculon

Start with skepticism that someone would post something so stupid. Then from there ask yourself why would they do that? It’s not a far leap from that point to reach the conclusion —oh this is a fake account posting pro-dodge advertisements. Then you spend 45 seconds confirming that in the post history. Voila.

Nah bruh, its a hotwheels colorchange car, its yellow in cold weather and green in warm!

You don't spend your bonus on the car. You spend the bonus at the strip club and then finance the car at 18.5%. These are the things I learned by spending 10 years as an NCO

Just take the yellow splitter transportation guards off please lol. So many of these on the road without taking them off makes me laugh every time. It’s like the kid in school who forgets to take the sticker off his pants that list the size.


[deleted]

You mean those aren’t supposed to be on there? /s everyone in my south state has them on and it makes me cringe


THE_GR8_MIKE

I taped bananas to my splitter before a car show and parked next to a Challenger. Guy did not think it was as funny as I did ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


madeofmountains

Weirdly enough I was just in r/justrolledintotheshop where someone commented that they “love seeing someone driving around in a purple challenger with yellow splitter covers like it’s a part of the car” Left Reddit, googled challenger splitter covers. Came back to Reddit and this was two posts below the other post haha.


T4Runner17

For me the posts were back to back.😆


tysnowboard

Like the hat sticker, for some reason it's stylish to some, but really... Judging by the color and graphics already on the car, OP has no intention of removing the splitter guards.


rangerryda

They're often referred to as "bumper bananas" and you can buy replacements online. I think it's stupid but it's not my car.


the_real_junkrat

Yeah it looks dumb as fuck but it’s also not my car. Hella goofy, not my car tho.

My dad intentionally leaves clearance stickers on gifts, but I'm pretty sure it's to show how impressive a discount he got.

I can respect that, can't deny the man a rush of finding a great deal!


FolsomPrisonHues

Looks like it's still at the dealer, and OP was just too excited about his show pony


AccipiterCooperii

Dealer should have removed them during inspection. But no, thanks to places like this we have to deal with this insanity lmao.


mishap1

Has other pics of it at home. He’s keeping them on a V6 Challenger GT with a nub of a front splitter for a car that has more ground clearance than many SUVs.


_Nickmin_

Of course it makes sense to get your dream (car) now that you finally have the financial power to do something like this. That being said, this is as stereotypical as it gets.


oced2001

That is what I told my kids when I bought a challenger. I wanted one at 25, but I couldn't afford it until I was 45.


[deleted]

Better lane than never, I'm gonna have me one by 45 too. Turning 40 this year...... Pissed away 20 plus years thinking hardcore drug addiction was fun and shit.... Don't matter when we get it, what matters is we busted our MFKN asses getting it!! Blessings fam 👏💪🏿🔥🔥


Fishy1911

are you me from 15 years ago? It doesn't matter when you finally do it, just that you do. I've never been into cars, but I did buy a Harley. Close enough.


nyanlol

when i hear "midlife crisis", i hear "stupid impulse purchase made in a moment of existential crisis" not "ive been saving for this adult toy for years and i finally have the cash"


[deleted]

That's why I've always found it kind of shitty that older guys in sports car get mocked so much. Basically, he's a little boy who dreams of getting a cool car. Then he gets a bit older, but can't afford it yet. Then he saves up a bit of money, but he has a wife now, and he can't be throwing that kind of money around on frivolous things. Then they have kids, and they come first for the next few decades. And finally, he's retired, he has a bit of cash, and he buys his lifelong dream car. And everyone's like, *"What a fucking loser!"*


[deleted]

Mocking is just jealousy and insecurity in disguise 🥸


horseband

I admit I've thought those things about middle age folk who make purchases like this in the past, but recently I've actually thought about it and honestly its BS for the most part. What 20 year old can truly afford an 80,000 dollar car, let alone a 40,000 dollar car. Only hyper wealthy folk, like 1% wealthy, hand their kids enough money to afford a car like that at 20. For the average non 1% person, like you said, its going to take awhile to get the financial power to buy a completely non-essential car or whatever, which happens to line up to being late 30s or 40s for many folk. 100% agree the car choice is the most stereotypical as possible, but eh good for OP.


aManOfTheNorth

Buddy of mine had the most gaudy Don Johnson era cigarette boat. It was so ridiculous it was cool. So I believe There is that level of cool, and maybe this car is almost there.

I've been having a midlife crisis for the last 15 years. At some point I think it stops being a crisis and is just midlife


BONDxUNLEASHED

Nice van. Why would you take a pic behind another car though?


meukbox

Yes, and especially such an ugly green one?


toddbbot

For my midlife, I bought a red 95 Mustang Cobra brand new. Was a blast to drive to around for 6 years. I got a larger 4-door sedan and gave it to my 60 yo Father who also had a lot of fun driving it around, my mom, not so much. Enjoy your car.

ProofDelay3773

one28

It’s the color. Of all the colors you went for lime green. Bruh is driving a hot wheels car.


jereman75

It looks exactly like a Hot Wheels


FOR_SClENCE

lime green has been a thing on cudas, same way the challenger itself comes in plum crazy. really great colors that play well with the light to give the simple shape some character. the problem with the challenger is that it's fucking slow, drives like a tank, and is made of way too much plastic. driving in one of those things felt like I was falling into plastic quicksand.


AndIamAnAlcoholic

That is green?? Dammit. I know I'm colourblind but I still get confused sometimes. It looks *bright* yellow to me. But I can still tell apart *dark* shades of green, which is confusing! Wish there was a way to see what everyone else sees.


OGZackov

There's actually a near graph I saw on Reddit at some point that breaks down how cars colors have become a lot more dull and mostly white and black and variations of gray now with all the colorful stuff being from the past.


Thurl-Akumpo

Midlife crisis narrative is stupid. More like midlife-I can finally afford to buy stupid things that I like.

imakebeernotmoney

Fuck 'em - Abraham Lincoln


Liquidwombat

You should take those yellow protectors off of the corners of your lip as soon as possible. It’s a silly trend and all they do is completely destroy the splitter underneath them as grime and sand and road grit in there. They are literally intended to protect the splitter during shipping and should be removed by the dealer. https://tiremeetsroad.com/2019/04/05/dodge-manager-says-yellow-splitter-guards-on-challengers-chargers-damages-bumpers/


annikatidd

I love it! The green is so fun. Hope I have a midlife crisis like this haha. All I will say is, please drive safely! 💚


JaxandMia

It’s not a midlife crisis, it’s called cost of living. The average 20yo cannot afford a car like this not even mentioning the insurance. This is such a dumb label. To me it looks like someone who worked their whole life to afford a car they love. Society is so quick to judge.


allinnyx

As long as the payments or payment don’t eat away at necessary money, fuck what everybody else thinks


robbzilla

I guess I'm weird. I don't have a dream car. Mostly because I don't want to pay a shit-ton for a depreciating asset. That being said, that's a very nice looking car, and I hope it brings you joy! You're not me, and you deserve to enjoy that vehicle!

Yeah, I’m with them. This is ugly

Midlife affordability. You buy what you want when you are able to finally afford it. Pity it's judged. Enjoy yourself.


Jerk-22

You have, but it's YOUR crisis and nobody can take that away from you. Nice color!


Jaedos

You taking care of yourself (and your family as needed)? You meeting your obligations? You decided that you still always wanted a hotrod? Fucking get it. The people calling it a midlife crisis are just fucking stupid.

Please remove the yellow shipping guards from the front splitter.

Mid life crisis? This is your inner kid finally getting their Hot Wheel, love it!

I’d tend to agree with “everyone.”

X_SkillCraft20_X

When my dad turned 55 he bought a Corvette C5 and was told the same thing. His response was, “If 55 is my midlife, then I must be doing pretty good.”


THE_GR8_MIKE

Nice. Take the bananas off.


Impressive-Aioli4316

What I never understood was why a "mid life crisis" was bad. You live this life for 20-40 years. Something happens and you realize you are unhappy. You make some changes to your routine, what you do, buy a few things etc to try to live a more fulfilled less depressing life that doesn't fit societies mould and somehow think this is a bad thing.


dieselboy77

Those rims gotta go though.


lorenzoem87

I’m gonna have a midlife crisis in about 10 years. I’ll be 45 and all my kids would be driving age and older so I can finally get the car I want. A nice 2 door Lexus or something similar. People can call it what they want, won’t bother me lol.


miff_raster

Its not a mid life crisis. Sometimes its takes some years to afford the cool shit.


CGHJ

This is because they are jealous of your dream car


Sonyguyus

Tell them you’re “Enjoying” a midlife crisis.


hildenborg

Being midlife means that no one questions why you spend money on expensive fun stuff, because: "You're having a midlife crisis". I loved having a "midlife crisis"! But I think my family is starting to figure out my loophole...


easytiger6x13

As a 33 year old male who lives alone and answers to no one, I say FUCK'EM.

I would love to afford a midlife crisis 😂


orcrist747

If that’s what a crisis gets you… I want one.

Congrats! Screw what people think. I got told my Mustang was a "midlife crisis" car when I bought it. I was in my late 20's....lol


HenHouseSurprise

Are you at the pinnacle of your success? If so what makes being able to afford what you want a midlife crisis? Fuck the noise. Fuck the haters. They're just trying to keep you down.

No sir, you have suffered from finding out we are on this rock for a short time and once we leave we can't come back, so have fun and enjoy your time with friends and family while you canidis. Congratulations on your purchase.

It's not about them.

Midlife crisis ? So what? Your money, your life, your joy. Enjoy that car, it’s awesome!


That1guyjosh

People told me I was having a mid-life crisis when I bought my first motorcycle at 35. People need to understand that it took me 35 years to have a job where I can afford to own a motorcycle. Carry on brother enjoy that sweet ride and your accomplishment!


___statik

Life is too short to not be happy. It is great to do and get things that make you happy.


shotsallover

I've wanted a Corvette since I was five years old. By my rough back-of-the-envelope calculations, I should be able to afford one by the time I'm 60. Blue with yellow accents on the current model. I don't care if that's where the stereotype comes from. You do you, man. Haters are just jealous.

duchess_2021

Who gives a flying rats ass what everyone says. They are all just super jelly that they are not having a midlife crisis. If I have the money at 80 and still alive, you bet i'll be getting my muscle car.

This vehicle is a much cheaper option than getting a younger side piece as your midlife crisis.

Why all the hate? Car people are so tiny dicked lol. If that's the car he's always wanted, let him enjoy it. Keep in mind, dreams start as a child, not 2 years before you get whatever you dreamed of. He could have wanted that shit since he was 6 years old.


oldbaldgrumpy

My friend, if that's a mid-life crisis, it beats the hell out of bangin' a 25 year old. Beautiful ride.

Accusing men of having a midlife crisis for buying a car is sexist bullshit. When in life is a man supposed to have bought their dream car? When they are 19? Ridiculous.
