Re: [Chrysler300] C 300 currently on Ebay

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I noticed the black portion of the air cleaner, and now notice that it has
the
world's worst designed radiator cap(the octo things that you can never get a
grip on in order to remove--there must be a special place reserved in hell
for the man who designed this).  Also I now see that someone else has
noted(in a question to the seller) the 12 volt battery that is apparent in
the engine snapshot.  The man responds that it is 12 volt but has an
inverter to have the car run 6 volts.  Seems to me that most c 300 folks
that made a change, stayed possibly 6 volts for the lights and radio, but
fed 12 volts into the starter.

300 horsepower to the rear wheels?  We would all love to have that.
Could go on for hours about how perfect the car is?  The man writes good
copy.
