So, what's really different from the THEME of the new Dart versus the old a-body Dart we love and cherish?
They are both cheap throw away cars that get decent mileage and look okay.
That's all they always were and that's what they are today.
Back when our beloved a-bodies were 10 years old or so, they typically were a winter beater or a parts car in the junk yard. That's what the new one will be too.
A rusty, mostly worn out, piece of crap.
There will be people that will take care of them just like the old ones and they will survive of course.
A lot of people forget that in the '80s, you could pick up an average a-body for under 1000 bucks, and maybe a bit more if it was a 340 or a 4 speed. I've got a yard full of parts cars that i picked up in the late '80s and early '90s for under $500 a copy because nobody wanted them. They were everywhere!
You can do the same thing today with Neons.
So, really, what has changed?
I was told I don't have a real Dart today!
I was at work today, a customer comes in a wants oil filters for a 2014 Dart. He's pissy because he can't get the filters from a parts store, that's just a damn shame, but no sweat, I got plenty.
He's starting to chat me up about his Dart and how much fun it is.
I tell him I have a Dart too."A 2.0l ?" "No.....I buy Coke in 2 liters!" "Oh yeah, a Tiger Shark?" "Nope a 318" "What?? How did you get a 318 in a Dart?" "Came that way." "A 2.4 Tiger Shark is the biggest they come." "They came a lot bigger than a 318, I can tell you that." " Never heard of that! When!" "My 318 is is 75, I got a Duster with a slanty too." "Oh, you got one of those old things, that's not a real Dart."
Now this is usually where I jump in and tell the guy I have a real Dart and he's driving a fat Fiat but, I just raped him for 4 oil filters that he had paid an pissy asshole penalty on. But while he was chatty, he had told me about a forum for Dart owners. I thought he was going to tell me about FABO, but he went on about another. I looked at it after he left the shop, it would seem he's not alone.
The question that are being asked are cracking me up! I couldn't take to much offense, these aren't car people,these are people who own cars. They're clueless.
Nope, never heard back. I figured they had enough cars.Gunbunny, are you bring your fake DART to the filming tomorrow night?
Baby blue with white decals and a baby seat in the back. A real racer.Gunbunny you didn't happen to see what color his dart was do you?
