Still a Chevy POS....Buy Mopar and get a REAL car....

I was a Mopar man. My favorite was a '66 Dodge Dart with GREAT torque out of a little 225 with a 1 barrel Holley.

The new Fiat/dART is not even a good fake. It is everything that the Dart wasn't, and nothing that it was. Where is the modern Dart or Newport? A no frills car that just runs and has lots of room for the family in its class?

Besides my various Darts, I also had a Diplomat, a Chrysler 5th Avenue, and a 1965 Chrysler 300 2 door hardtop coupe.(383, 4 barrel, 330 hp ... the BASE model)

The '66 Dart was the '92 Camry of its day. They both were made too well. They wouldn't break.

While the Dart was/is more of a tank, the '92 Camry is still on the road in vast numbers today. Lotsa Darts out there too.

Well, I am still a Mopar man, and Fiat has done some very good things with the lineup from ma mopar....much better steward of Chrysler then Daimler, who just about robbed Chrysler blind and dumped them in the gutter when done.

As far as ANYTHING from GM....I'd rather eat worms then drive a Chevy.....nothing but Mopar in my driveway.

I once owned a 65 Dodge Polaris 500. It was a very good car with a high compression 383.

I lent it to a friend who ran down the battery and then hooked up his charger backwards frying the entire wiring harness.

That certainly is one car which I wish that I still owned.
