My first one was a 97 2 door Sport with the DOHC that I bought new so my wife wouldn't have to drive her 96 Ram Pace truck in the snow. That car was traded in on my 04 SRT4. The current lineup is 71 Plymouth GTX, 96 Ram Indy Pace Truck. 04 SRT4, 98 Dodge Neon RT, 02 Neon SXT, 05 Neon SRT Design and 05 Neon SXT. The two 05s are my daily drivers.

You have a "family fleet"

You're #137

I drove her to the end, unfortunately someone else killed her

but I have a new one now! Not sure about this one. If I find a newer one that I can afford the 2000 is gone, will only be sold for a better neon though lol

Welcome to "the Club" ... I'm not aware of any organizations related to the little Dodge trucks ... If you lived in the New Orleans area you could join Big Easy Mopar Association

Here the only expense to keep a car that's already paid for, is the mandatory insurance.

Insurance companies classify me as both young and reckless and combined with the weight and power class the neon is in it costs me EUR 100,- or $ 130,- a month.

Well basically i could keep my neon when i do not use the company car for personal use, but for EUR 170,- or $ 225,- a month i can use the company car for personal use at no extra costs. All in all it's much cheaper to use this deal instead of keeping the neon..

Will be saving though for a car for the weekends but that's got to be something older than 1986 (no road tax + oldtimer insurance) But for sure that is going to be american built!! Most likely a V6 or V8 RWD car, don't know what it's going to be, any ideas?

The 80's isn't a great era for American cars ... try to find something from the 60's or 70's

yes, and RWD too but no V6/V8 version (standard, that is

)

yup that is pre 1986 so they're definitely a good option!
Not sure though if i stay with the Dodge family and maybe it is wise to start with an old Porsche to get some more experience.. we'll see

Mine is hibernating in the garage for winter.

Mine is sleeping peacefully in the garage waiting to be driven.

Don't have to worry about snow here down south.

Mine is sleeping peacefully in a driveway, while I drive something that thrives on 87 octane

Never became an official club member but I still own and drive 3 neons, so I guess I'm still in.
