Well mine is someplace in the process of the engine being replaced under warranty. My patients with reliability as I get older are getting short.

Friday I saw something I liked, test drove it, loved it and took delivery.........still under that Stellantis umbrella.........but bulletproof reliability.

Replacing one 23 with another 23. Durango Hellcat premium. Only 27,xxx miles and it's the most fun I've had with my pants on in at least a decade.

Yeah once I get it back I will be doing a demod and selling. Even though it will come back toe with a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty I'm done with it. I've come learn this years warrantys are great until you don't have your vehicle for 4 months with no compensation, loaner or rental. If I didn't have a spare vehicle that would be been 4 months of renting one.Will I miss my Short Bus.... sure.

But previous to my JTM I always had street performance based vehicles or low rider trucks. The sound of a V8 and blower whine makes me smile or giggle to myself.

Maybe down the road I'll find a well worn JT and make it a project WITHOUT a PenaShit motor

I can't say I blame you.

At this point in my life, I need something that goes.

If the JT starts to lay down regularly, IT is going.

I might have been crazy cycling through vehicles the way I did, but it helped ensure I was never left stranded all these years.

Keep em new, mod em lightly, don't get too attached.

I can certainly understand that. Enjoy the cat.
