DLPTony - I agree with all of the others who posted, that is a great shot and really highlights the amazing depth of the USB and like I said numerous times, the Enkei wheels do look amazing with a darker vehicle! I am just surprised you didn't do one with the speedo and just sprawling on the hood to try and get a few more "likes"

Far from being as nice as Tony's shots, but I liked that one!

Thanks guys!!

Totally lucked into the shot. Driveway pics are just as cool to me, especially if the car is getting a wash. When I see two buckets, the enthusiast in me is like: “Man!! That dude knows what’s up!”

LOL at ​​​​​​@95bat and @wthrman2 .

Tony, of course the folks in the boat with the broken down motor behind you are like “thanks for the help, could at least have caught a rope to pull us in!”

and you need three buckets, one exclusively for wheels!

LOL!! I had more pressing matters, their ‘3-Hour Tour’ wasn’t one. 😜😈

I do the tires last and refill the 2nd bucket, but I could see having all three at the ready! 👏🏽

I just keep loving it more and more.

Is it the fastest? No

Is it the loudest? No

Is it the most beautiful? Maybe

Is it the best new small sedan currently available? Absolutely 💯

2022 Lexus IS500
2022 Dodge Charger Scat Pack
2022 Chrysler 300S

I have a friend who just bought a 300, and he really wanted the S with the Hemi. But his wife put the kibosh on that lol. So he has a V-6 model. Still a pretty decent car, not exactly what I would call sporty though. I went for a ride in it with him and it was super comfy.

I stand corrected. When you check out stellantis quality control, it makes front apron/ cel gasket issues seem insignificant.

I walked the hell out of an ‘S’ a month ago. It sounded good though! 😈

So I’m at the pusher’s house again (BP) and there’s only one downside to the USB, Georgia summers.

Why? Because the blasted dragonflies see my shiny blue, think it’s water, and drop their freaking eggs on it.

By the time the tank was full, tan-ish streaks were all over the hood. Between the heat outside and under the hood, they were too cooked for the quick detail. My excuse to wash the car again… 😎
