I was probably always going to be a car guy and leaned toward Mopars as my folks had Plymouths while I was growing up. I became a huge fan of the 300 letter cars, but also always liked the way Darts looked. I was hooked on Mopars when I went to work at a small electronics store in the spring of 1977. My coworker had a BEAT '66 Commando/four speed/disc brake/handling package Barracuda. When my boss hired me he told me that I wasn't going to like this guy...we're lifelong friends. That Barracuda became mine in late 1980. As most also know, I'm also a ragtop man. No reason to own a car with a fixed roof, in my opinion...
