Just an observation
« on: July 04, 2009 - 08:33:33 PM »
It really seems like the challenger members out number us Barracuda members.  Seems everyone wants a Dodge. They seem to have made so many more challengers than barracudas.  I have owned them all and many of each. I have always been a Plymouth type of guy.

It is the same reason that the highly intelligent, stunningly beautiful women can't find any man who is confident enough to even ask them out.  People tend to be in awe of perfection and are willing to settle for second best!

Only a few of us will ever be Cuda owners....perfection does not frighten us!

Some things I will not tell Peggy about.  She would freak. I did get robbed by the police and was singled out since I am american.  We had turantula spiders all around the plant work area. 3 plants were set on fire beside the plant I was at. Very large dead animals on the side of the road, bad roads, bars on everything. The views are very nice out in the desert mountains. The people I worked with were very kind and good hearted. The motel was great and food was free. But Military and bad cops all over the place.  Plus it was 125 degrees in the plant and the shell was over 800 degrees.  I went through 4 cases of water everyday and bought lunch for 8 workers everyday.  People here seem to be very poor, but very good hearted. I did all I could in my power to make as many as I could happy.  The plant wants only me to come back and nobody else.  I crave to hear alot of english right now. It is always an experience when I leave the USA.  Never travel in the dark alone . The city is wild 24 hrs a day.  I had to have escorts.  And some may complain about how we are living in the USA, but there is no place like home.   We had 4 flat tires in 5 days to. No painted lines on the roads, and debri all over. even had naked people right in the streets in some places. The lines around the hospitals were 3 blocks long or more every day I went by.   Wierd to see bullitt holes in all the cars and windows around here.  And how cars have doors falling off, no bumpers, no headlights all kinds of stuff that is not a norm to us.

Yup, thats Mexico Alan. We used to go over there every couple of weeks back in the early to mid 70's for my parents booze and cigs. Very sad to see some of the things over there. I went to help build a church when I was newly married and some people actually live in card board houses. They all have cinder block molds and make them as money allows. They slowly build a house around themselves. Good to hear you are coming home. As to the Plymouth vs Dodge thing, I loved my 70 'Cuda and I love my 71 Challenger so I will not pick sides. I will say this though.......which brand is dead and which one lives and just released a new car?    :stirpot:

Dodge - still trying.   :violin:  Good for them, never give up!
