Actually I’m not a Christian, not that that matters. As for patriotism, I drive an American car - a Ford.
Bad companies attract people with bad character. Chrysler is a bad company. Its disappearance will be a good thing.
To: kellynla
The only way Chrysler can survive is chapter 11.

“I think there is legislation mandating that service parts be available for 10 yr after the original veh. mfg. date.”
Not aimed at smart companies. Just stupid, badly managed ones.

Something like a Ford 550 or 650?

“their little sedans werent comfortable, economical or pretty”
My first car was a hand me down from my Grandfather: a fourteen year old Studebaker Lark.
It was ugly as hammered sh*t.
It definitely wasn’t comfortable.
It surely wasn’t economical.
But I could fix anything on that vehicle, and for its time, it was a very reliable car. An old man who lived not too far from me had a whole field of old Studebakers and I bought parts from him for a song. I think he wanted to help a kid with his first car and he sure did.
I loved that car!

1960s Studes still carried brakes, steering, water pumps, etc from the 1950s. You could find these same products in Chryslers and Fords. If you were looking for a 1962 Studebaker brake part, you'd find it on a ‘56-59 GM or Chrysler product.

I will say this in Chrysler's favor...
I rented a car to go to Spring training and, because the mid-size I had requested wasn't available, Enterprise gave me a Chrysler 300.
When I returned it three weeks and 3,000 miles later, I was stunned that the big hawg had averaged 29.7 mpg.
Giving credit where credit is due...

(Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots! Semper Fi!)
MOPAR has built plenty of good cars & trucks over the years...just because some “geniuses” failed to change the oil every 3K miles they “bitch & moan” that every car & truck they made is junk...well, for a company that made nothing but "junk", that “junk” has been known to leave anything else on the road and track in its tail lights and has done so for decades!
And for all you MOPAR bashers out there, MOPAR was building trucks for AMERICA during WWII while MAZDA, TOYOTA & DATSUN were building for the JAPANESE and MERCEDES, VW & BMW were building for the NAZIS ! And don't you ever forget it!
But all you, MOPAR bashers don't give a damn about America, you just care about yourselves and to hell with America & Americans!
Well, when you lose your job to foreigners, don't come crying to me.

And you are a Christian? I suppose those jerks that screwed me and my mom over were Christians too? What is the saying, “not perfect, just forgiven”?
Well, not by me. I don’t believe in it. Read “Atlas Shrugged” to find out why.
To: Paladin2; All
Why?? You mean to tell me that a group of investors can’t set up shop and start a new Auto company???

True for these days. There are even 4x4s I believe.
I'm more interested something used below $10K.

"Something like a Ford 550 or 650?"
A C-Series is a cab-over. I'd guess that most older single axle grain trucks are gasoline vs. Diesel. I'd prefer a Diesel, but that is likely asking too much.

The costs of entry are very high. I'd guess that there will be no entrants (tho there are a few trying, like the electric car companies). Entrants cold be easily wiped out by Toyota, Ford and GM who know how to make electric cars.

“I dont recall the wording in the Constitution that Chrysler has to stay in business..”
It is right before a woman’s reproductive rights.
By the way, can you point out to me where woman’s reproductive rights are in the Constitution? I cannot find that one either.
To: mjaneangels@aolcom
It’s right between ‘right to vote’ and ‘right to privacy’.
