Scott,
        I, have own New Chrysler products since 1958, but I stopped buying new
ones every year after 1990, and started keeping them from 3-5 years each
their after, because of the drive off loss and their resale value the first
year.

        My bashing as you state, is not a bash, if it was I sure the HELL not have
owned another Chrysler product after the first one, it's just a statement
from a old Elect/Mech Space Hardware Engineer, that has seen Murphys Law
always work on the first production units no matter what it was, and how
testing was done with it by the TOP NOTCH ENGINEERS.

        Bugs always seemed to always find their way to the source and the
customers, (NASA, Soldiers and other) would have to report them back for
future MODS.

        Other than go on and on, if it will make you fill any better Sinloi!
