    Hey everyone, my name is Jason and I have a Dodge Magnum. I love wagons and will be killing a lot of time looking at everyone's photos.

    Great looking wagon you have there. I have always liked the Magnums. Unfortunately they weren't offered with a 3rd row, so when it came time to buy, the wife and I had to pass. I still would like to get one... :16suspect::cautious:

    We'd love to hear more about you and your car, so don't by shy.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone...ver warm :D. Like I said my name is Jason, I am a mechanical engineer working for a defense contractor on Eglin AFB. Bought my Magnum in 2010 and it is a 2008 SXT (3.5L V6) AWD. It is mostly stock except for BC Racing coilovers and an air intake. I mostly just do a bunch of maintainence to it these days.

    :Welcome: Jason, nice to meet you. I too like the looks on the Magnums but hubby only entertains GM products. Enjoy the photos :drool:

    Thanks, I used to be GM only. But the wife wanted me to get a newer car when I was having problems with my S10 Blazer, and GM didn't really have any wagons that meet her "needs". I've grown a lot :D I even branched out to Ford when the wife was ready for a newer car, she liked the functionality and dog hauling capabilities of the Flex. I still have a GM in the household though.

    I like the Flex too! That may end up being our next family car. I'd love to get the big HP version, but chances are I won't be able to swing it. The Typhoon is cool too. You have a nice fleet there.

    We have enjoyed the Flex. I have heard some stories about issues with the AWD system and the turbo leaking oil on the ECOBoost versions, not sure how common or widespread it really is.

    Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome, a guy could get used to a place like this :D

    No. It was a punctuation fail.
