 Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 3:32 am Post subject: WTF is up with this addiction |
  |
|
I am so hard pressed to understand why I love my gen1 so much. Someone help explain it to me. I own a sports car and find the Neon just as enjoyable to drive.
And not to mention the fact that I am addicted to modding this thing.
Any explanation?

You have been bitten by the "Neon" bug.

It is possible that someday soon "The Penguin" might be made street legal ... just to see how long I can retain my driver's license.

Hence the reason why I've canceled the insurance on "Frankenstien" and am buying a tow dolly....

I dunno, I have unnecessary love for my car, Matilda, too
she just puts a smile on my face every time I drive her
it seems this car is a cult classic too,

Geez this is easy Alex.
Its a MOPAR! Parts are cheap, it feels like a street legal go cart, mods are simple and easy, independent suspension, and if you do stuff it into a tree or something you can find a new one for a 6 pack.
