So the rental vehicle bestowed upon me and my boss for our very important out-of-town business trip is a Dodge Magnum. White even - just like the picture above. And at the risk of offending any Magnum-owning mockdockers, I just need to tell you that I cannot think of a car I hate the looks of more than this one.
And, now that I’ve had the misfortune of being a passenger in one, I hate it even more. You guys, this is seriously one of the dumbest cars ever. The windows are so stupidly small that it genuinely hampers your ability to drive safely. Plus, it’s shaped like a station wagon, yet there is no way-back seat. It’s just got a really big stupid trunk. What is the point of a station wagon if not to be able to accommodate someone in a way-back seat?
I hate that it’s called a Magnum, too. It’s like Dodge said, “What’s a really masculine sounding name for a station wagon that will attract a whole bunch of hip hop stars? Oooo - I know. Let’s name it after a WEAPON. Perfect.”
The problem with that I am not a hip hop star or a dude trying to look cool in a station wagon, yet because Avis clearly hates me and my boss, they made us ride in one. Jerks.
Anyway, the Dodge Magnum is officially my least favorite car, with a few others closely following it. I won’t tell you what they are though, because I’m afraid of alienating too many mockdockers. But one of them rhymes with bummer.
Well, it does do this thing where it runs on fewer cylinders on the open highway, conserving some gas. And regarding the big back, I think it’s way more common for a couple to have 3 passengers and a bunch of crap or dogs or something, than it is likely for couple to need to transport 6. That being said, what family is it for? A mole family? I hate how small the windows are.
I think their original plan was to market a station wagon to men. Why? I have no idea but I don’t think they pulled it off.
From the look of it, I’d think you would feel like your butt was dragging the ground while you’re riding around in it.
I always thought, “Why would they name a car after a condom?” The Charger and the 300 are way cooler looking.
Magnum…those things are huge…I put one on and it looked like Lil Holmes was sagging his pants like a white Hip-Hopper wearing a purple helmet…these Irish genetics suck…
