I have been test driving new Challengers.

Goofy stripes? LOL...the various stripe packages look fantastic to me. :D

I agree with those pointing that the car is a roadwhale. I wanted one so badly back in 2011 but ended up with a Mustang GT because it was much smaller and ~600lbs lighter. It sounds like the size and mass won't be an issue for how you plan to use the car. Honestly, as a relaxed daily driver, I can't think of anything more appealing than a nicely appointed R/T.

Good luck and please keep us posted!
