I'm sure some of it has to do with vehicle stewardship, which is non-existent for my in-laws. Even my 18 year old nephew has already ruined his 1st used vehicle

A 4.0 liter straight six is a totally different animal from the little V6 in use today.

The Chrysler 4.0 was great but the weak link was the head.

"The Man" has arrived, and his host is taking good care of him. He had a 480 mile day.
