I don't get it.
I love my Dart.
I must to be throwing the time and dollars at it that I have.
But it is no different than the '66 Cyclone we raced for about ten years ( a Mercury with a Ford motor no less , and it had a '67 Chevelle master cylinder too. :D ) , or the '70 Chevelle that I ran into the ground in the late 70's and abandoned behind a gas station after stripping the cowl hood and SS rims , or the '78 Chev step side that was a serious street effort in the early 80's.
Does not having blind brand loyalty make one less of an enthusiast ?
Anyone who cannot acknowledge the awesome cars that popped out of Detroit regardless of the manufacturer is missing the point I think.
Hell , I even admire some European iron.....just because there is no denying the cool factor.
Japanese......not so much , but they also turned out some interesting automobiles.
What makes a car / brand cool ?
Price tag ?
Current value ?
Production numbers ?
Performance ?
None of those are wrong answers.
I tend to take it a step further and give high points to uniqueness.
Regardless of who made it.
Cool is cool.
Always will be.
The answer to " why ?" is still a numbers game , and the flaming hoops we have to jump through to do stuff that G.M. guys take for granted makes MoPar guys a special breed for sure.
But the others can still be cool.
Just not quite as cool.:D:D:D
