2024 Dodge Charger Dayton SRT EV I recently heard about the 2024 Dodge Charger Dayton SRT all-electric vehicle. I have to say that the concept car looks rather impressive.

Turn Signals, Try Using Them
Turn Signals, Try Using Them **I know that Steven wrote a post about this, this was my take on this, written years ago, but never posted online.
