| 3 purses stolen at Pines gas station
While a woman pumped gas into her 2006 Honda CRV at the Amoco ACA station at 12500 Pines Blvd. between 12:40 and 12:50 p.m. Nov. 7, someone opened the unlocked passenger door and stole her purse from the seat. The black purse, valued at $350, contained $300 in cash and other items. During the same time period, a burglar entered an unlocked Chrysler Sebring convertible at a pump and stole a black purse valued at $150. It contained $100 in cash and identification documents. Both victims described a white Dodge Magnum occupied by two men. Between noon and 12:15 p.m. Nov. 14, while a woman entered the station to get a receipt, someone opened the unlocked door of her 2006 Lexus GX470 and stole her Louis Vuitton purse. The purse and its contents were valued at $100.
Big Bad Grocery-Getter Gets a Facelift!
Back in 04 when Daimler Chrysler launched the 300 and Magnum, I was beside myself for actually liking a domestic car. More than like, I was in love. These cars had the style, the power and the handling to give almost any car in its class a run for its money. The US hasn't had a hot domestic wagon since before I was born (I'm 31). Previous to the Magnum, the only sexy wagons in the US market wore BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Volvo badges. The Europeans just know how to do wagons. Well now Dodge is doing it again with the redesign of the Magnum for 2008. The guys over at dubspeeddriven.com got their hands on exclusive pics of the 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8. Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my chin. This redesign offers a much more aggressive front end. I'm a fan of the new projector headlights and the hood scoop (currently only available on the Charger).

Magnum wagon may hide a Hemi
Looking more like a one-off from a California custom shop than a production vehicle, the Dodge Magnum has changed the way we think of station wagons. While wagons have been enjoying a rebirth of sorts, it took the Magnum to make curb standers stop and stare. From the front it looks beefy and powerful; while its profile is tapered and sleek. It's a little bit hearse and a little bit sports sedan. It can serve as a family hauler for those wishing to avoid the stigma of a minivan or the lackluster fuel economy of an SUV, but it can also be nearly as satisfying to pilot as a European performance sedan. If blending in is your goal, look elsewhere. The Magnum will be noticed and so will you. Lead foots beware.
