Re: [DMCForum] Re: I did something cool... ???



Oh, the engines themselves will run forever. My family has driven
nothing but Chryslers for two generations (my siblings and I broke that

getting rid of his '91 Caravan. (With 200,000 miles on the clock!) I am
just curious why they seem to smoke so much.
