Pictures

This car is a drastic departure from some of my earlier cars. Before, I would modify engine, engine, engine, then maybe suspension, then rarely would I ever think of brakes. Now, I have a car where suspension was the first concern, brakes the second (almost tied for first) and then the engine. This is the finest automobile I have ever owned. It is also the most awesome color combination ever offered by Dodge. The famous blue with white stripes. Finally, the car only has 17,000 miles on it and I am the second owner. Woo Hoo!
