As some may recall, I had been planning on building a pretty big shop / garage and adding on my current home. A large house (around 3665 SF, with bedrooms for al the kids) has recently come on the market in another neighborhood here that has a small shop / shed, a pull through double garage (4 remote garage doors) and a separate small two car metal garage, and 1.85 acres. I believe the Hellcat needs to be sold now to help finance the deal, probably going to sell the T-bird too. It's not the perfect house, and I like this one fine, but the increase in space and the need for another bedroom is too great to pass up. Also, one neighbor is my daughters best friend and my sister is around the corner and few houses up. And to finally have a freaking garage again will be great. Not that I'll have anything to put it in except the Expedition ELs.

As long as the house has four doors, or more, you'll be okay. Magnified.

It'll be sad to sell but the right thing to do.
About 15 years ago I sold my 1980 Porsche 911 to help buy a house, I cried after the bloke drove off, look where I am now.
Don't disappear though, I enjoy your posts.

Not really. You can live in your car, but not drive a house.

Keep the Hellcat...lending is so cheap right now, just borrow more on the house. Easy for me to say ;)

As noted, the pull through garage has 4 doors, with remote opening, so we're good :)

Sounds like the HC era may have just come to an end. Read @BULL posting which if true your HC just became worth more.
Addressing Rumors of the SRT Division Being Disbanded
https://www.stellpower.com/news-2021/addressing-rumors-srt-division-disbanded/#more-1864
I don't think that Stellantis will be so stupid as to kill the high power motors. I suspect this is more about bringing power / performance to each company internally. I would hope. I personally feel a team approach is better, but some guy who went to Harvard I'm sure is making his name by saying it will make it easier to tailor the offerings to the culture of each component brand instead of having it dictated to them by a special group from a nominally "peer" brand...

Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Could you live with only having three doors, though?

I'd sort of like to, but we run, financially, a pretty taught ship, and have a new building for one of my businesses we're trying to get built too. And then I want to keep the current house for a couple of months to fix it up (travertine floors, new carpet in master, paint, etc..., to get maximum resale out of it and lenders don't like the idea of that - if that makes sense).

4 - driver, passenger, side slide, and rear hatch (I think)

By that logic your taxi has five doors.
You're not supposed to count the rear lid as a door. That's a modern thing, much like 4-door coupes.

While I hope otherwise, I absolutely believe that they could be that stupid.
