I have to think that any person that can afford a car and the fuel for it, can buy anything they want. As far as value and reliability of Mopars goes, they are a lot better than people give them credit for.

I saw a cartoon today that was suitable. "When I was young, I wanted to save the world. Now, I am just happy to save 7 cents a gallon."

For now seadog, but I am afraid they are trying to change that.

Your right D, the Camery is not ugly, in my opinion it isn't anything, it just blends in with the crowd.

I want a Challenger SRT8, wife doesn't like it, I'm afraid this may be the last straw with her! grin

CMJ, I'm afraid a new wife would be easier to get than an SRT8 right now. Think they are going for around 50K.

I can't get rid of her, wouldn't have any luck at all finding somebody that would put up with me and my hobbies, she is a car nut too, she just got it wrong this time!

Our Dodge family wagon gets 25-26 on the highway, not bad for the 4 of us and the stuff we can put in the back. And if I stomp on it, you'll see my taillights.

No it's a major chick magnet, all the grannies love em. Almost as much as they love cheap practical guys.


lol rofl

I hear tons of guys going through midlife crises saying to themselves, "think I'll pick me up a 4 banger Camry and cruise the local college campus in that baby".

It doesn't matter what I drive, I get the same reaction from the girls. From the way they react, you would think I haven't thought of sex in a couple of decades.

Did anyone ever consider that girls, well the smart ones anyways, don't care about what "car" so much anymore?

I'm not anti-social...and I have YET to see or HEAR about (exception movies, printed stories) some girl liking some dude because of his car.

Just Wondering.

I started dating my wife because she was driving a Corvette, so it kinda worked in reverse, she attracted a dumb guy with her cool car!

First impressions are everything, pull up in a prius or a vette, I'm thinking it will be a totally different one. Not saying it means everything but it sure can break the ice. I don't think intelligence has anything to do with it. Women can be as shallow as us men, perhaps with different prioities but still...
