Patrons at a Bellingham, Washington Starbucks got quite the surprise yesterday when a Chrysler 300C driven by an elderly man crashed through the floor to ceiling window and across the shop. Five people were injured in the incident, though none seriously, and the driver is facing a charge of second degree negligent driving. Fortunately for us, a table was embedded in the grille and it makes it look like the 300C is sticking it's tongue out. We're assuming the injured will be suing for millions to cover the cost of spilled coffee.

It's no news that the 300's been a hit for Chrysler -- and we here at the Jalop obviously are fans of the Dodge Charger SRT8 , and the new Dodge Challenger 's certainly got itself a purdy mouth. But there's potentially going to be some fuel economy issues inherent with a RWD, Hemi-powered platform given the current desire by Washington to focus toward beating up automakers and away from a more common-sensical Euro approach to increasing fuel economy. So what's the three-headed dog-owned car company going to do? According to the website for the lovers, the dreamers and me the answer is -- not a whole lot. The Car Connection is reporting: "Chrysler's plans for its large 300/Charger sedans include a major makeover for the 2011 model year. But while Chrysler's new managers have been dropping hints about the future of the HEMI engine, there's not much they can do about the rear-drive layout of the big sedans." Although we can barely contain our glee...

newVideoPlayer("300c-part3.flv", 463, 387,""); So you've seen the brief introduction to Chrysler's MyGig entertainment center and you've watched me get my hands dirty setting it all up, so what's the final verdict? Well, watch the talking head above and see. I am very happy to bear witness to Chrysler taking another step towards the future of car entertainment and infotainment centers--which amounts to simply slapping a complete PC into the dash. So which manufacturer wants to be the first to have a factory installed Windows- or OS X-powered machine that is completely open to customization? Any takers? I guess I'll just to do it myself. galleryPost('300cheritageext', 3, '2008 Chrysler 300c Heritage Edition'); galleryPost('chrysler300cmygigint', 3, 'Chrysler 300c Interior & MyGig');

newVideoPlayer("300c-part2.flv", 463, 387,""); Last week, I gave you a brief introduction to the Chrysler MyGig system in a 2008 300c Heritage Edition, and now I'm here to show how all of this hard drive mumbo-jumbo works. All in all, it's a really, really easy system to use. So easy I would be comfortable letting my grandmother attempt to save music to the hard drive. Stay tuned for part three when I give a final verdict, including putting on my favorite Negative Nancy hat. galleryPost('300cheritageext', 3, '2008 Chrysler 300c Heritage Edition'); galleryPost('chrysler300cmygigint', 3, 'Chrysler 300c Interior & MyGig');

newVideoPlayer("mygig1.flv", 463, 387,""); Now that we've finished putting the Microsoft Sync system through the grinder , it's time to take a look at the MyGig system featured in a variety of Chrysler vehicles. To simplify, MyGig is a pretty standard infotainment center, but with a "ruggedized" hard drive slapped behind it. Check out the video preview of the MyGig system above and stay tuned for Part 2, in which I slip on my Speedo and dive into the MyGig system like nobody's business. galleryPost('300cheritageext', 3, '2008 Chrysler 300c Heritage Edition Exterior'); galleryPost('chrysler300cmygigint', 3, 'Chrysler 300c Heritage Edition Interior, MyGig');
