I agree, I like neons! Especially the 1st gens.



The problem is nobody else does. People hate on them all the time for stupid reasons like "I took it mudding and the wheel bearings went out" or "I redlined it every morning right after startup and it eventually blew up."

Or just that they think they look stupid.


But those people are idiots

 

i don't mind neon's but there is already a neon name and having a car that looks identical with a different name is stupid.
neon

 

That thing is friggin' sweet!

Dad's 1st gen 5spd's could get 40 mpg on the freeway. Bet that one won't!

 

Been there... Felt that!

New rule with the ram I just got, try not to let it get below 1/2 tank... That way it is $45-50 to "fill up"...

Spend the same amount of money but some how it feels different than dropping $85-90 to fill it from empty.

I don't mind the look of the car... NEVER should have used the name dart on the car... Think of something original for pete's sakes!

 

i feel worse than that every week. i spent $94 yesterday on gas and i had just spent $94 on gas on Thursday. my gas gauge don't start moving until i have burnt about $40 worth of gas. 3 days of driving to work and back and the tank is pretty much empty.

 

The new Dart is cool. If you can look past the name, like the new Charger, you'd see it is going to be a great car. I bought a new 97 and 03 Neon and loved them both. The 97 was my favorite because it was far lighter and handled much better. The 03 was much more comfortable for long highway drives, but other than that, it felt like they tried to make it feel like a typical soulless Toyota and remove the hard edge of the first gen. I very well may, and my wife is insisting we will, buy the Dart when it comes out. I think they got the exterior look just right and the interior is the best Chrysler interior I've seen since the late 70's Mirada/Cordoba(which looked great but fell apart fairly quickly like all, even Japanese, interiors).

 

^^ You said it pal.


The interiors on my '70s dodge trucks are still in great shape, so are most of Dad's old mopars...


'Course that's up in Washington where the sun don't shine

 

I burn about $50 in gas in 3-4 days... depending on my foot...

Only gonna get worse my friend... Well, for us in the states that is!

 

already paying $5.14/gallon up in Canada. i have heard it is about $10/G in the UK. i have been driving my truck like an old man but truck seem to consume the same amount of gas. my next step on saving gas is getting a transmission with overdrive and rv cam since amost all the driving i do is on the highway.

 

Isn't a Canadian gallon a little more than a u.s. gallon? I thought I read that somewhere
