The Magnum Life

Since travel is my middle name, I have ways to pass the time behind the wheel. Whether playing podcasts or music from my Zune or shooting videos, an eight hour trip is still long and boring. The thing I spend most of my time doing is thinking … about tomorrow, the next week and the [...]

My last two cars were retired from the road with over 220,000 miles on them and my current car, 2007 Dodge Magnum now has 130,000. The first two, Dodge Spirit and Chrysler Concorde, were front-wheel drive and the Magnum is rear-wheel drive. I have noticed a significant difference and much prefer the rear-wheel drive [...]

The time has come to reveal the tires I just purchased to run on my Dodge Magnum for the next 100,000 miles. OK, the title gives away the lead, so it’s not much of a guess for you. I have been extremely pleased with the Pirelli P4 tires, but I am still looking for [...]

This is the final video in my four part review of my 2007 Dodge Magnum.  As you’ve already seen, I put the miles on rapidly and by the time you watch this video, I will have topped 122,000 miles. I get the oil and filter changed every month, and the tires balanced and rotated every [...]

My Dodge Magnum review has reached part three of the four part series. Part one covered the basics, part two is about what I like, and this video is about the items I think should be improved. Like the others, I kept it short so it won’t take up much of your day.

I have been driving my 2007 Dodge Magnum since the last week in March 2008. It was an employee lease car and hit the dealer lot at the same time as a ton of Dodge Chargers. In the next four video posts, I will post the basics, the good, the bad, and a final overview [...]
