NewRoads Technician by Day, Car Enthusiast by Night

Chrysler Technician and Car Enthusiast
 
Daniel Earle is a long time Chrysler employee, who works at our NewRoads Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership. Daniel’s passion for cars goes far beyond his job, as he regularly devotes his extra time to improving his vehicle.
 
Both solely and with a group of friends who call themselves the “Boosted Creations,” Daniel has worked on his car to modify features and make it stand out from the crowd. In fact, every Tuesday Daniel attends the “Hwy 11 Cruiser” events in which dedicated car fanatics meet to show off what modifications or in their words, “mods,” they have done to their car.

Daniel rolls up to the Hwy 11 Cruiser in his eblue SRT4 Neon, which he got in 2014 and has been ‘modding’ it ever since. He describes the many changes he has made that include a “3 inch Magna Flow Cat Back Exhaust, a 3 inch Down Pipe off Turbo, TWM Short Throw Shifter, Greedy Type R/S Blow Off Valve, Mopar 3D Retro Tail Lamps, 60 MM Mpx Throttle Body, and black housing headlamps. It also has a K&N Typhoon Long Ram cold air intake, Samco Silicone Rad Hoses and hot pipe and cold pipe blue hoses, Compstar Alarm and all the interment cluster light have been changed to blue LEDS.
 
Of all the alterations Daniel has done, his favorites are the magna flow exhaust and the greedy blow off valve, as it “makes the car sound mean on the street and really makes people turn their heads to see what is coming up the road.”

However, Daniel didn’t always turn heads with the dream car he drives now. He describes the experience of buying his first car, “The first car I bought was when I was 19 and it was a 1984 S10 pick up that was older then I was, but I loved it none the less. It was my first car and really my love for customizing a car started with that truck as I changed a lot of the interior pieces to be a different colour and changed it from a bench seat to bucket seats. I even added a roll bar in the box that I made fit from my grand fathers old Dakota that he was retiring and taking off the road.”

Following his dodge, Daniel purchased the car he drives now, (his 2014 SRT4 Neon) – named “Sonic Witch.” Daniel says, “I’ve always grown up with a Dodge background, for as long as I can remember my family drove and owned dodges. Back in 2013 my father was buying a car at S&B in Keswick and they had a brand new SRT4 in blue on their lot that I instantly fell in love with. Since then I always told myself I would own one, one day.”
 
There are still some modifications Daniel plans to complete and he concluded that “car modifying is a work in process, it’s a passion that runs deep with me and true love for the car.”
