    Building Mopars for 50 years and still building?  :working:  That's awesome!  :bananasmi  That's living the dream right there fellas!  :cheers:

    Didn't always like FM3 pink but now I love it - it's definitely different.

    Upstate NY? I lived there for a while. Funny, but anywhere in NY other than "the city" people refer to "upstate" even if you are technically "downstate" just north of "the city." So where abouts are you at?
