I was mopar to start out, I was mopar when it seemed no one else around me was, I will always be a mopar head.
However, I have had the opportunity as of lately to get my hands on some other brands of cool cars. I'm learning a lot and expanding my car world.
I recently met a guy named Justin and he is a Chevy guy. At first I was kinda like yea yea, it's a Chevy. Then I really got into the car with him and we went through the brakes and really went through the car which is a 68 chevelle malibu. During going through the car I see where some things are universal to any car with wheels, and some things are very brand specific. I got to see and go hands on with a Chevy 402 on an engine stand.
I have another friend named Ron and he is a late model Ford guy. I really have to say that for years I have underestimated how good Ford hardware is from the 90s. From 8.8 rear ends to 460 monsters, Ford really had some good hardware in the 90s. After helping Ron build a Ford explorer, heavily modified for off road and we went through a former cop crown Victoria and went through the 4.6, among many many other projects, I'm really starting to like that era of Ford.
After all of that, I feel like a more rounded mechanic and I feel more comfortable getting deep into more modern cars of all kinds.
Other than mopar, what cars are your interest out there??
