The 4 door Charger of 2015 is pretty ugly and doesn't even come close to the 60's version... but they nailed it with the Challenger refresh.  The 2015 with a redesigned interior and front/rear looks much better than the previous 2008-2014 models and it's a nice modernized update of the 1971 Challenger that it's based off of.

It's too bad the same can't be said for the hideous Camaro.  I wasn't all that impressed with the 2015 Mustang either... I drove one and the driver's compartment was comparable to a sardine can.

For me the Challenger was the only option...   it's just too bad I couldn't afford the Hellcat.  I had to settle for 375 horses...

Nice looking car, and the 'NVR L8T' specialty plates are a nice touch.

Personally I never had a thing for cars, my 'dream car' is one that just keeps on truckin', getting me there & back reliably and as cheaply as possible. That's currently a 2013 Mazda 2, the 40 mpg gives me all the thrill I need. But, I've always thought if we all thought alike and enjoyed only the same things the world would be a pretty boring place. Enjoy your ride.

Thanks!  I like my plates too!

I don't get 40 mpg in a 5.7L V8...

But still... 21st century technology makes her a good choice for any road trip.

Can't help with how you get someone to agree to finance such a purchase 5 months post discharge but, and I do apologize for being judgmental, why on this planet do you think you need a $50,000 vehicle?   Why would you want to get right back into debt? If you want to spend so much money why not wait until you have the cash to pay for it? 

Having an $85k/year job today means absolutely nothing tomorrow.  Just because you want something (I would love a grand prix dressage horse - low to mid 6 figures to get - which I could easily accomplish with credit) does not necessarily mean you should take such a leap.  Be smart.  Look for something that you either pay cash for or have a small monthly payment.  The way you are headed you will end up with an $800 per month payment.

Just finished reading all the comments.  They're all great.  I totally agree with a few of you that questioned why I'd consider such a pricey vehicle.  Believe me I've battled the urge for this truck for a while.  I'm not saying that I'm going out tomorrow to make a purchase.  I won't be doing that until mid 2016.  I do beleive I need to look for something a bit cheaper.  I really appreciate your comments.

Keep playing the utilization game and getting your FICO's as high as possible while throwing as much money as you can into a savings account for a future down payment. Then when you think you are ready to buy, look at the numbers yourself first and decide if you are in a good posistion to make it happen.
