   Nice deal. Wish the dealers out here in CA had been that loose pockets. We drove to Seattle and back last week and the BMW was a joy to drive for 14 and 18 hours. Only thing I dislike is how low the sports package makes the front sit. I've chewed up the nose twice so far; the paint guy will be here Thursday to clean up the damage from a dip into a Chevron station in the dark on the way back. He's becoming all too familiar with my garage! The sport package is actually lower than a Corvette from my measurements! Next set of tires I may think about upsizing if I can although these are run flats. I'd like to get the nose up about an inch and the speedo is already low by 4 MPH. (Saved my butt cruising by a CHP radar trap at what I thought was 81 and turned out to be 76 on the GPS)

   Those cars are hard to beat when it comes to handling on a road trip.

   Just came back from a road trip of 2800 miles with a new BMW 328i Sport. Strangely enough, the Challenger was my first choice, but the dealers out here wanted to upcharge 3K even though they were going out of business, so I ended up buying a BMW instead for 9K off the sticker. Weird how that worked. Usually you can't get anything off the foreign cars, and I've never bought one before (unless you consider my 2005 GTO which came from Australia foreign) but the local dealer was hot to move leftover cars. The American can dealers and companies screwed themselves I believe.

   My wife has a 2008 5 series, and she will never own anything other than a BMW now, and for the last 4 years. They had a $4,500 NW mark up, but they took that off, as well as another $5k, so we ended up taking almost $10 off the sticker price. My brother in law came to visit, saw it, bought 1 a month later, SRT.

   I'd think you could spend many hours enjoying that Challenger R/T Hemi before winter sets in! Could avoid being a couch potato for many hours...LOL
   
   Be safe and enjoy the ride.

   Fortunately the winters here aren't too bad, so I won't lock her up in the garage too long. Really wish I could drive a little more, I would love to take that on a road trip.
