That stuff right there gets in your blood and in your soul. The '69 and the '73 are still around, too. Non-performance stuff included a '72 Plymouth Satellite, '78 Dodge Magnum, '80 Chrysler 5th Avenue, '86 Dodge Ramcharger, '92 Cummins diesel Ram and maybe one or two others I'm not remembering.

    My first car was a '89 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo with a 5-spd. Went to GM products in the '90s before buying a '99 Ram 4x4 and after that, it's been an all Mopar show. Got an '05 300C when they came out, traded the '99 Ram for an '05 Rumble Bee, shortly after that bought an '04 Ram SRT-10, traded the Rumble Bee for an '11 Ram Crew Cab (which turned out to be a complete POS!), traded the '05 300C for the '10 300C SRT8 I have now, traded the SRT-10 and the POS '11 Ram for a '12 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and just added the '06 Viper in January.

    Have two Jeep Grand Cherokees -- 2012 and 2014 . Love them.

    Never got into early Mopars but maybe should have . They have done well.
    Are you going to get back in another Viper maybe a Gen 5?

    Hoping to have a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the driveway before too long as well. If it wasn't for the wife I'd be a full Mopar household already. But she is talked into one already, just a matter of saving a few dollars to her into one.

    I had never owned a Mopar product before I purchased my 08 ACR. I had always owned Vettes, starting in 1985 through 2009. Probably won't ever go back to a Vette.

    Just had this photo turned into a canvas and hung it in the garage but my wife liked it so much she wanted it hung in the kitchen nook.

    Was just thinking about some of the cars that I have owned. I had a 67 Sunbeam Tiger for 18 yrs that had a Chrysler pentastar emblem on the lower rt front fender. How could I forget THAT "mopar". So I had 2 mopars before I bought my 1st Viper

    Love those Tigers. Interesting history with the Sunbeam, Ford V8, and a little Pentastar.
