Default Am I crazy?

I drive a 2003 Camry XLE 4cyl, 33K miles, 23mpg in town, 35mpg hwy. Fantastic car but boring and I prefer rear whel drive. In AZ I do considerable hwy miles; 25-30K/year. I drove a 1995 SXT limited edition and a 1995 RT. They were both a blast to drive. The SXT is red, 20K miles and a sunroof. Stay away from sunroof? The RT is that dark green almost gray, 30K miles. Both are in excellent condition. The 3.5L has plenty of power. The Hemi has valve train ticking. Are these vehicles capable of extended hwy cruising?

My concern is going from proven reliability to an unknown reliability history. The magnums look and drive great and the camry is boring. I'm not concerned about 5-6 mpg less. I'm aware of some of the reported problems such as leaking differential, trans, several recalls, etc. Stay away from 1995's?

Thanks

Crazy or Awesome? I am unsure...

But it seems you have a Time Machine! The Magnum was not made until 2005, so if you have a 1995 Magnum RT, you are Awesome!
