I can drive what ever I want but I like old mopars, I never see another one like mine.

If I could 'drive what ever I want' it might be more like a Ferrari 575 GTZ Zagato.
Never see another one.

But you could afford a few?

If I could afford it...it wouldn't be a Mopar and every 4 weeks a crew is flown in to do the mantainance on my big $ ride.

I have a Ford Explorer which has served as my daily driver for several years.  I'm on my second transmission with it, and need new ball joints (which run around $1300.).  I bought my M as a fun weekend project back in April of this year.  I've enjoyed the car so much that I've actually been driving it as my daily driver.  It was 100 outside today....I still drove my M.  It rides, and drives so much more comfortably then my Explorer.  Both vehicles have V8's but the M gets better gas mileage!  Every time something has broken on the Explorer I've had to take it in to the shop.  Every time something has needed updated on the M, I've been able to fix it myself.  I bought three new cars in my life so far, and every one of them has needed to be repaired...  So as long as the car is in great shape, I'll take a classic over new any day!   :driving:

Sorry Ice, no offence
But you can keep the metro-euro rides.
I'll take an old Mope anyday.
