You forgot crash after less than 6 months of ownership.
Then try to roll over your negative equity into a Hell Cat with a credit score barely over 300.

(Ironically a modern-day V6 version is faster than a Classic Charger muscle car. But the badging on the new one means nothing as the current version V6 comes with one type of hood scoop while the V8 comes with a different one. If you know, you can instantly spot the difference.)

Y so money tho?

I'm a big fan of minivans and kei vans.

No real competition yet. They're up charging because it's the "first edition"
It may be the 4motion + first edition + no tax deductions because it's being built overseas. The US version is bigger (longer) and the batts are bigger too. They're up charging almost $5000 just for the dual motor version. This is all before tariffs.

I'm guessing on all that.

I thought it was pretty cool .... right up to the revelation of how much it cost. :yellowlaugh:

I was ten minutes into this video, but had to stop and come here to share it.

Wow! Talk about well thought out & executed.

Wow, indeed. It's said that the more tasks a tool is designed to accomplish, the quality of each task will be diminished. After viewing the videos, I don't believe that saying applies to Mullet. Drag-and-Drive vehicles must be driven from one race to another and have their picture taken at various stops along the way. That's an incredible demanding endeavor.

I'm with you on your tools philosophy generally.

To be fair to 'regular' road cars, Mullet might not pass inspections in some states that have them. (other than lights and a license plate, that car might not be 'street legal') Federal smog laws probably have been broken. I think that's why most of the street legal drag cars are pre-smog vehicles.

But most of the cool states don't even have smog laws and don't enforce any FED smog laws. Lights, brakes, noise, tint, state plate/insurance all good? They're all good. LOL
