# They have a unique following and their own culture.
# They aren't common like Chev/Fords - MoPar stands alone.
# Best designs, best car names, best options and best colors.
# A wide range from Jeep 4x4s, Dodge Rams to Muscle & Vipers.
# Hugh selection of awesome engines from /6 to 426(+)ci Hemis.


I love the sound and would have mentioned "Power!!!" (like everyone else) but let's be honest, any brand can make power, Chev, Ford, Nissan, etc, so that isn't the reason I like MoPar. They have great power but making numbers isn't unique to MoPars only, like sound, style and culture. ;)

Brings a good amount of pride out usually. It's something different, sticks out like a sore thumb, loud, ultra basic...yet I feel absolutely comfortable in it.

Only complaints are that it's an automatic, and it's slow (to me). Only limits seem to be money.  :lol: Hopefully that will change someday in the relative future, I have tons of ideas and things I'd like to do to the car. I could go on for years fine tuning everything to just how I want it.  :2thumbs:

 It's the sound, power, and looks you get. :thumbsup:   She's been in my life so long, it's like hanging out with an old friend too. :)

Yes I did! That thing was extremely modified though. That guy did a heck of a job with it. Did you see the pictures of the "stock" crank he shaved FIVE pounds off of? The double 4-hole and 2-hole spacer setup was interesting too. Thing is a little monster  :faint:

I feel your pain. My car sat for about 15 years, and it's still a long way from where I want it.

Ah, that was my opinion, I didn't say "no one could mention it". :wave:
