FizFashizzle posted:Why do black people love the 300M so much You've never heard of the 300M referred to as the "Black Man's Bentley?"  An Arnage, the Bentley that it looks most like and that people try to model their 300s on with aftermarket poo poo.  Dodge makes poo poo cars that fall apart, and their interiors are the loving pits. I remember driving some Challengers around a few years ago (I rent cars frequently when I travel) and it had the exact same radio display as my 1987 Mustang (that lovely, green, alarm clock readout). The one car they made that actually ran like a champ, and that you could actually get some performance out of if you tweaked them right, was the mid-late '90s Neons. I still see guys use those in bomber racing, and they can haul rear end. This, of course, does not represent classic Mopar, which produced phenomenal muscle cars and legendary power plants like the 426 Wedge.

It sounds like everyone's experiences are anecdotal and subjective  I'm driving a jeep cherokee from 20 years ago and the thing is a battle tank. Sure some small things are breaking down but the engine fires up every time. Even when I had a cracked radiator it ran. Even when I forgot to put oil it ran. Even when I drove through flooded streets it ran. Even when one cylinder misfired, the other seven picked up the slack.

a lot of gm cars are built like tanks such as the grand prix, grand am, cavallier, and you see ancient ones on the road still truckin but they are doing just that and little else like yeah it'll run and by golly it will run even if you abuse the poo poo out of it but the 1993 corolla/prizm i drove for years didn't have peeling enamel or sagging upholstry and all of the knobs and switches inside of it worked. the heater core never gave out. the air conditioner worked. the windows didn't get stuck in the down position. i cant say the same for any 00's grand prix even if they run while leaking every fluid they contain

But the fucker runs and runs well. He plans on driving it in to the ground even though he could afford anything he wanted. I used to drive a 2001 impala that used to be my mom's. loving cooling system used as many plastic parts as possible. Blew up several times, needed all kinds of work but I kept fixing it. Big and comfy it was. Once I be came a well paid computer janitor I got the slightly used Mazda and gave the impala to my brother, who promptly begged my parents like the spoiled brat he is for a brand new Mazda suv, which he hates. They sold my car man..  I hope whoever has it now is taking care of her.

$2,650 · 1986 foxbody LX V8 5 spd  quote:Time to let this go. Don't let the appearance fool you this is one strong muscle car with a long list of improvements. Rust free ,turn key but too many projects on the go. I've been holding off on selling this and will probably change my mind again so grab it while you can. Comes with a bonus to the right buyer.

I'm not the sort of person that demands the finest quality ~materials~ in my car's interior but Dodge interiors make me want to vomit. Growing up I had cheap injection molded plastic toys that felt better. I have a used Lexus now because I like cars that don't break down.
