New to Dodge Forum
Hello everyone! Glad to be here with you folks. Listed below are just a few of the Dodge/Chrystler vehicles I have owned and enjoyed. In addition I have owned 6 Caravans - 1985 LE 2.4L, 1988 LE 3.0L (much faster, better handling), 1991 Grand Caravan (more appointed), 1993 Grand Caravan ES (white, sharp looking), 1996 Grand Caravan ES (new body style, much better ride, handling, quieter) 2000 Grand Caravan ES (black, factory 17" rims) Also in addition to the 2000 Durango I currently own, I had a 1998 Durango w/ the 5.2. Great vehicle with absolutely no problems for the 60,000+ miles it had when I traded it in.
My real claim to fame here is that I was chosen back in Sept. 1990 to appear in a series of Dodge testimonial commercials that ran prime time from Nov. 1990 to Feb 1991. The commercials were called "Welcome Home to Dodge" for all the people supposedly comming back from owning imports. Because I was a curent owner of a 1991 Spitit R/T and a 1991 Caravan I was interviewed by BBDO, Dodge's ad agency at that time. My family and I were flown to Denver from Milwaukee and the shoot took place in the mountains 75 miles west of Denver. Were talking waredrobe, make-up, lighting, full production stuff. The commercial opened with the announcer saying "Tom Metz came back to Dodge", and my line was "Its no boy racer, its a real automobile" which was taken from a 20 minute interview. Another shoot took place in Jan. 1991 in front on a red R/T (they said thet wanted to sell more red R/t's). I have all the vhs tapes and it is something I will always treasure. BTW/ the commercials way more than paid for the R/T. I had to put that in because everyone asks when they hear the story.
For now, I will enjoy my 2000 Durango dreaming about the STR-8 300C. Anyone here from Dodge?, I have experience
