About
Guess you could say I am going thru my Mid Life Crisis, at age 51 I wanted something sporty but not two expensive, something with some Pep but easy on gas, and after a few weeks of research and living on Autotrader.com I finally found what I was looking for.. This was a one owner car, with less than 40,000 miles on it, extremely clean inside and out.. still had the shipping plastic on the carpet.. The undernealth is awesomely clean, almost new looking.. I got rid of my Dodge Dakota which loved gas stations.. I took a trip to Va Beach last week, just at 400 miles on a tank of gas.. You gotta love it.. I'm having fun now!!
(Update!! At the end of Summer, I have won 10 trophies with the ThunderStratus in it's first year in Car Shows, including best Mopar award)
