My Caliber will be my 4th Dodge.

2000 Ram CC 1500 4x4. Had some transmission problems that the dealer could not resolve. They're a great dealer and tried hard but just couldn't fix it. So they made me a heck of a deal to swap out of it and into another Ram.

2001 Ram QC 1500. Great truck. Never any problems with it at all. Just traded it in after 5 years and 75,000 miles for my Caliber.

2004 Durango Hemi 4x4. One heck of a nice SUV. I have 36,000 miles on it and it's been perfect in every way. I use it to tow a small trailer in the summer and skiing in the winter.

2007 Caliber. Only had it a week and love it. Fun car.

I did have a 1989 Pontiac Firebird. While it was a fun car it was junk. Went through 4 rear main seals in 50,000 miles. Leaked oil all over the place so when the warranty ran out I got rid of it. I know too many people with GM vehicles that are constantly in the shop. Never again.

1989 Dodge Omni, 2.2L/manual, silver.

Drove it to 115k, then sold to a friend who drove it to 130K until it gave up the ghost. It was a great car (except for it's bland looks and relatively short life compared to other foreign cars). And for some odd reason it drove very well (for a front wheel drive car) in snow and ice.

Mopar FWD in snow rules. My wife and I both swear by it. Chrysler wins that battle hands down.

I am a long time GM guy, having owned 3 Camaro's (a 1990 IROC-Z, 1994 Z-28, 1999 Hugger Orange SS), a 1988 Monte Carlo (First Car), a 1994 Impala SS, a 1995 Olds Cutlass Convertible, a 1991 S-10, and a 1993 GMC Sonoma.

However, I have seen the light and have no regrets. Mopar or No Car!

I grew up with a few Chrysler family cars (does that count as Mopar?) starting with a couple of Valiants in the early 60s and then a Polara.

My very first car was a Chrysler product also, a 1971 Simca 1204.

So I've come full circle, back to DCX with a FWD Caliber.

I was always the guy to go to for cheap semi-reliable cars. In the 80's, these cars were dirt cheap. Then into the 90's when the K's and Fifths rolled around I would have less than 100-200 in each car usually!!

I probably forgot a few here and there.

Wow, that's a lot of Mopar! ...and all in 6 years. Do you just like trading them every year for a new one (my grandfather has done that with Corvettes since 1984... a new Vette each year.)?

I trade out, on average, every 6 to 8 months.

I must be cut from the same cloth tundra - I've always been a Pontiac freak, but when it came time to buy my first new car I went with a Dodge because there were no Pontiac trucks. Anyhow, here's my list (a short one)...

2003 Dakota 4x4 3.9 - I often wish I never got rid of it. It was the nicest styled truck I've ever seen, but it was a regular cab with bucket seats so it didn't have much room. It also had a noticeable tick that the dealers refused to address. It was my first new vehicle

2004 Ram 4x4 4.7 - Just traded it in. Even though it was a bigger truck with a bigger engine, it got the same gas mileage as my Dakota did, 13 to 15. Ouch!

2007 Caliber SXT 2.0 - So far so good!

Now for the Pontiacs!
1977 Grand Prix 301 2bbl - My first car. I loved it. Had it seemingly forever, even swapped in a rebuilt engine at one point. I would still have it today if not for Cleveland winters causing it to rust out and disintegrate into nothing.

1965 GTO - A real goat, not a clone, although it did have a Pontiac 350 in it instead of the original 389. I bought it right out of high school, put a ton of work into it, and sold it a few years ago when I bought my house. Surprisingly, I don't miss it that much, mostly because I still have my....

1979 Trans Am 403 4bbl - Beautiful, solid car! Last of the big bore factory engines. People dog on the 403, but the fact is that in a quarter mile I ran 15.39 with the only mod being a gear swap from to 3.23's. It is currently undergoing an engine swap. I have another 403 built by Marshall engines awaiting transplant.

Other Mopars that family members have owned include a seventy-something Plymouth Satellite, a 1972 Dodge Dart, a 1970 Charger, a 1981? dodge Omni.

Oh...and two Toyotas...NEVER AGAIN

and obviously by the length of time owned...the '96 Ram was my favorite with the '03 coming in a close second...only the fuel prices dictated the trade of that one

My first car was a 1988 Dodge Lancer. We have pics from when I was in Kindergarten sitting in it so we definitely got a lot of use out of it!
