[V8] Re: magnum

[DieMarthaDie at aol.com]

I really liked it when I saw it, envisioning black with black anodized rims and lotsa tint... a hemi hearse ;)

Having just rented one for a business trip (Thrify has it as a 'full size' rental) I'd warn you to drive it a lot first.  It was a v6 and had decent power, slow response on launch but decent passing and pickup, was very comfortable, held 4 people and luggage reasonably well...

BUT it is like driving in a tank trying to see out of gunslits.  There is very little window (VERY little in the rear quarters - they used black glass to hide how small it really is).  You need to pay A LOT more attention to your blind spots and they are bigger.

I liked the car, in general, but I'd have to rent one for a week and drive it a lot to decide if I could deal with the limited visibility.  I think I'd also get full insurance on the rental ;)
