I believe that the modern era of motors from the company that was at one called Chrysler, no longer has the quality or durability of the old company.

I also believe most modern vehicles are pledged with overly complicated electronics and engine management systems to meet the demands of the bean counters, the stock holders, and the government. Lasting durability and long term reliability are the price we pay.

I believe that the mid 1990s - 2010 will probably be considered as the high point of the automotive industry world wide. I believe that if you spend that $15G on rebuilding your current ride, you will come out ahead.

A owning a new car or truck just doesn't have the prestige that it once carried.
