As I'm now 80 yrs old, I've had plenty of opportunities to own a lot of different cars, My first car was a 1950 Dodge. Here's a list of other MoPars I've owned over the years; I'm sure I've forgotten a couple.

1953 Plymouth
1962 Plymouth Savoy 225 engine stick
1961 Valiant 225 engine stick
1963 Valiant Signet 170 engine torqueflite
1967 Valiant
1971 Fury Gran Coupe 360 engine
1974 Valiant
1976 Dodge Aspen wagon 318 auto
1978 Dodge Magnum 360 4bbl auto
1996 Intrepid 3.3 engine
2001 Intrepid ES 3.2 engine
2004 Dakota Quadcab 4.7 V-8 545RFE 2WD
2013 Grand Caravan SXT
2007 Ram 1500 Sport Quadcab 5.7 hemi 2WD

The '62 Savoy was a POS that had been fixed up to look good, but had probably been a taxi
The '67 Valiant was just bought to resell to make a few bucks
The '74 Valiant was bought from a coworker, and he had seriously screwed it up- I finally had to get a used motor to install in it
The '71 Fury I trustingly bought from my car wholesaler uncle; Later found it had been wrecked, maybe even rolled. Leaked rain thru the windshield, but still was otherwise a good car.
All the others were good to great cars. Drove the '96 Intrepid to 240,000 mi, some of the others to more than 150,000 mi
Favorites: '63 Valiant, '96 Intrepid, 2013 GC

Hi! Wish I could remember all the years and specifics of my numerous vehicles. Can see them in my minds eye but can't recall much else for most of the old ones.
Glad your here, God bless.

My 76 yr old Dad still has a 1996 Intrepid and refuses to get rid of it.
His brother was Assembly line foreman and nursed it through the assembly line.
Even has Dad's name welded under the trunk pad, to make sure the Dealer did not try to switch it out with another.

Been a great car but only has about 80K miles or so

Mine went to 240,000; tranny started acting up around 185K, finally got bad enough I thought it was time to get rid of it. I'd have put the $ into it for another transmission if it hadn't gotten badly hail damaged.
