A tale of my 300c SRT8

So in 2000, fresh out of college, I bought my first car.  It was a brand new black dodge dakota 4.7L v8 4x4.  I bought it for both its function and its muscle and boy did it drive like a car.  From time to time found myself up against the occasional bmw and it held its ground well and occasionally won and other times it got smoked.  But its was a great truck and I loved it. 

About 10 years later, married with two kids, it was time to trade up.  At the time, the new Chevy Camero had just come out and being a transformer buff, I was seriously considering a top of the line SS.  Fortuantely, my wife wouldn't have it and told me that if I was going to buy a new car it needed to be a sedan with four doors so I could haul baby seats in it.  She suggested a Chrysler 300.  I thought to myself, alright well I think I can get some muscle in that car and I agreed that I would take a look at them.  About 2 years later, after much research, planning and negotiation, I found a 300c SRT8 in steel blue metallic on a lot in LA.  She was the black sheep of the bunch and with all her black, silver and red siblings getting all the attention, she hadn't seen a customer in over 40 days and the lot manager was eager to get rid of her.  Her list price was over 35k at the time but after some negotiation I was able to take her off the lot managers hands for a cool 26,500.  Not a bad deal!

But being the black sheep of the family, I paid no nevermind to her siblings because I had plans for her that would set her appart from the rest and being unique in her Steel Metallic way would certainly make her stand out and scream.....
