I started out as a Mopar fanatic. Then front wheel drive became the corporate cry. So I turned to GM. Never much cared for Fords even though I did dig the 68 Cougar 302 Boss I once owned. GM peed down my neck and tried to convince me it was only rain when they killed the F-Body and gave the market to Ford. Now they bring up crap, yes I said crap, like the SSR and the "GTO". The Impala SS is now a front wheel driver and GM styling at this time would have Harley Earle spinning so fast in his grave he could generate
8 million megawatts per second. Where am I going with this rant you may ask. Mopar is again coming out with real cars. REAL cars. Rear wheel drive, Hemi powered, drool over them cars like the 300, the Crossfire, and the Magnum SRT. These aren't "put your name on a list and we'll get back to you cars". You can go down to the local Chrysler dealer and pick one up. Yea, I know, It's Daimler-Chrysler now. So what? Cool is cool. Where am I going with this you may ask. I have X amount of discretionary income. I have a choice to make. 71 Dodge Challenger or a new Magnum SRT. My Birds will always have good homes but to be honest as they get older, they get pricier to keep up. I guess the point of this long nonsensical rant is to get opinions. What would YOU do?- posted
