Erik, you are a very intelligent and sensible man. There should be more modellers like you.
Hermon, you have just offended all of the horses in your area, watch your back while you walk down the street my friend !
Cheers, D

I'm sorry about the ford but your in the wrong forum....you'll be wanting the "creatures and comics" section of modelgeek.
But, your welcome to stay and watch the insults fly...in a loving manner of course!

It should....old for Dodge would be a 2008 with under 30k on the odo. If you hemi boys need some rust and oil pigments for that realistic Dodge look, I probably have some extra from my armor builds. And don't forget to scrounge around in the spares box for all those extra drivetrain parts to lay around your car. Or if you're going the diorama route, maybe pose it up on the lift...be like home sweet home.

- Chevrolet= can hear valve rap on long extended trips
-corvette= completely over-rated, very expensive, technically troubled engine
...on a quiet night you can hear a ford rust{sorry mark} but it doesn't need to be quiet to hear a chevy rust.
..how do you make a chevy accelerate from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds...push it off a cliff - they're very heavy!
...customer says to the parts man, "I'll take a pair of wiper blades for my chevy" - parts man, "sounds like a fair trade cause they're used"
...how do you make a chevy worth anything - fill the gas tank, you can always siphon it out later if it hasn't already leaked out like the oil.
{here's for mark}...how do you improve the looks of a chevy - park it between two fords.{edsels!}

I'm surprised...usually it's the map sensor
Knock on wood, my '99 plymouth gran voy with 119k is still running good...I'm saving my pennies for a challenger ragtop!

I knew this thread would be fun and the two main S%^t stirrers haven't even weighed in.
At the rate I'm going, the only GM or Chrysler products I'm going to get built are gonna have treads.....

Well guys, now that I've initiated some calm, rational conversation regarding the relative merits of Chevrolet and Chrysler/Dodge, how about some constructive input regarding timing and rules.
As prospective Campaign leader I hereby call an end to the inane rambling that has preceded this post.
Salut, D
P.S. I"D RATHER PUSH A CHEVY THAN DRIVE A STINKIN HEMI !!!!
Sorry, not quite sure what happened there, that just came out.
