That car blew up three years ago

Health is better, I am going to get a kidney transplant if the stopping smoking sticks.

Where did they get a turbodiesel with 300 hp that fits in a Charger?

Diesel Power had a write up on it a few months ago. Looks like a bad a$$ oil burner. Too bad we civies can't get a hold on them.

Preferably in the driver's seat. 2nd choice would be front passenger seat.
