Retiring the "Coody" as A Daily Driver.

What do you mean more kid friendly? And why are you worrying about impending breakdowns? I just rebuilt mine and drove it everywhere until it snowed from the beginning of July (when I finally finished) to the beginning of December (when it first snowed) I've never had any issues with anything on my cuda even before I had everything done to it. The only thing I'm now worried about is the electrical, and that's just having time to work on it when you are driving your other car.
