My 2008 Dodge Avenger SXT

[Speeddeamon128]

I've had this car since January & love it! It is a 2008 Dodge Avenger SXT! My friend helped me order a spoiler for it & we installed it today. Within the next week I will be ordering a decal set for it & after that a hoodscoop. Apart from the looks the car drives amazing. It gets 32 mpg highway & I usually don't have to fill up for about two weeks. Here are some pics of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first installment:

I don't think a car with 170hp shouldn't have a hood scoop. It is what it is, don't try to make it something it isn't.

[ginzo]

^Could he get away with a hood scoop if he added a Type-R sticker? I heard those add at least 40 HP, bringing him up to a more respectable 210 HP.

Nice ride Matt, but where the hell do you get the money for a car and two consegutive TPR-trips?

It all depends on the theme of the car. My friends Malibu makes about 150whp, has a hood scoop and all, but also a body kit and all that makes it look like it belongs.

 

 

(the Malibu second from the left). I know the picture sucks, but that is all I have on my photobucket account.

 

I think the spoiler looks out of place because it is not painted. But to each his own.

Don't forget painting the 2-piston calipers red

And extra loud after market exhaust kit. That'll replace displacement, for sure.

Add Racing Stripes, they also make the car go faster!

[Hercules]

^ No. Flames. Definitely flames.

I hear Sahara Sam's offers a damn good salary and benefits package these days.

You're missing the point.

And those annoying tin cans people stick on there muffler...that really makes a car head into ludicrious speed.

This thread reminds me of the BMW Z4 Vs. VW Golf

Your car will never be fast because it's not red. Sorry.

 

That and it's a Dodge.

[Wes]

Get some truck nuts too.

[Hercules]

I saw a kid driving around a 1999 Ford Windstar the other day with spinning rims. This thread kind of reminds me of that.

Nothing says classy like a bootlegged sticker of Calvin peeing on a rival car company's logo.

I don't care about speed I care about looks & fuel efficiency. When I get out of college I will hopefully get a 2010 Camaro. Then I will worry about speed.

Well I'm cheap & don't spend my money on random crap like video games & DVDs. I just have to pay $200 a month for car insurance. I get two paychecks a month both over $200 so I use the first check for my car & the second one for whatever.

$2400 a year? You're getting screwed, or you're a terrible driver with really bad grades.

[spaceace12]

When I was young, my car insurance was 150 a month (that was with good grades and no wrecks or tickets), but at that time, my mom paid it since I was in college. Thank goodness for being over 25 now, it is only 45 a month. Hoping that when I get a motorcycle, it is only about 30 a month.

[Speeddeamon128]

^^I actually have a great driving record with no tickets or accidents & I've been driving for almost two years! I will also graduate high school with honors. I'm an 18 year old male living in the worst state to drive in & live so that is probably what screwed me over.

To fully insure an 18 year old with a brand new (nearly) car? I would charge about that....

[mcjaco]

^ After further review, you're probably right.

 

That is why I drove some awful cars back then. Cheaper to insure. And I don't need a car to define me.

[Guy T. Koepp]

^Wow! That is a lot to pay for insurance. You might wanna try Geico? I have 3 cars in two different states and it's me and my wife on our policy. And I only pay $1850 a year.

^Somebody just told me that her teenage daughter will run 2K/yr. Thats with good grades and the drivers ed credit. In a nutshell: Jersey stinks.

Spinning hubcaps are so much sweeter.

[TheStig]

And that Malibu has an absolutely terrible body kit. It probably puts more drag on it then anything.

 

Just get an eBay turbo kit, wait until it kills your car, then buy something that isn't domestic.
