Default RE: Not sure what to do

Thank you. Love the color and that's why I traveled to a different state to get it, that and they were willing to do EP pricing.

Well, the other car I own, in a matter of speaking since my name is primary on it, is my wife's car. She drives that most of the time. This is my primary car, as many people hate to hear. I will drive this thing all year round, hence why I would kind of like to change out the tires. Mag chloride and other such car wreckers, I hear don't agree with the chrome clad rims. Not to mention tire chains will not fit on this car. I know, again, something you all hate to hear, but for someone without a lot of money to afford three cars, I have no choice. Plus, I get to enjoy it everyday I drive it so it's not so bad. What is bad is the color will fade and the dings I'll get in the parking lot, probably both at store and in my apartment complex parking lot.

Speaking of dings, I was looking online about the ESV1 alarm system that comes on some of the vehicles. I don't know if it's offered on the Challenger or not, but I was wondering if anyone had any information on it. Is it a decent security system? If someone decides to ram their door into yours, will it set it off? The way this car attracts attention, I would like to have something on it for the people who feel they need to get their body against my car when looking into it. Maybe tinted windows would help that also.

Heck, the day I bought it, while it was still on the lot, I forgot to lock it and a couple of Mexican's decided that they wanted to pose and get pictures inside of it. My wife wanted me to set the alarm off, but I figured that if I were going to do that, that I should have done it as they opened the car. That would have been funny. They did have a sign on it that said vehicle sold. At the owners request, though I didn't request anything, please do not touch this vehicle. I guess only the sales manager had driven it also as they wouldn't let anyone, dealer or customer, test drive it. I can see why though as the one I was trying to get here in state had 101 miles on it from test drives alone. Boy did that shock me.

Thanks for the reassurance on the engine. I will keep an eye on it and make sure everything is ok. I believe my Mustang liked to eat oil, but at a very slow rate, a qt at every change about 5,000 miles, and I followed the break in for that. Maybe this is the better break in?
