I will start, I had a 96 Neon that I bought brand new. I blew the head gasket 3 times in the first 2 yrs (common problem) and then proceeded to dump a shit load of money into it and turn it into a full blown show car. Well after that I swore to myself that I would never by a Dodge/Chrysler product ever again. I have been buying Jap cars since then, when the Charger came out I fell in love with it and simply had to have it. I think I'm sold on Mopar now and will probably purchase another.

So as the thread states were you a Mopar person before buying your current Mopar????

I was always a Chevy guy before I bought my Charger. It was the 1969 Camaro that got me into muscle cars and it is sill my favorite car to this day. I have owned 2 Mopars before my Charger but I still considered myself a Chevy/GM guy. I used to own a 1968 Firebird 400 that me and my dad restored. Before that, we had a 1976 Camaro that my dad restored. Since buying the Charger, I can easily see myself buying another Mopar in the future. I might want a Jeep for a work truck.

I was a pontiac guy had a 99 gtp supercharged and loved it... until i drove my maggie...

Grew up in a Ford family, both racecars we own are Ford/Lincoln's so it was Ford or nothing for my dad.

Dated a guy that had a Firebird so I got interested in GM's for about 10 years. I used to covet getting a 98 Camaro SS.

The Mopar love started when I got my first Jeep back in '00 and have not looked back since then. I got a Chrysler 300 as a rental car and really liked it but was not sold on it 100%. Then I sat in a Charger and that was it for me.

Had a dodge avenger before my charger so I guess i've been a Mopar guy my whole life!

I had an xterra that my neighbor would take to get the oil changed at the dealership he runs when one day he brought it home and it was leaking oil so i took it back the next day and my challenger was sitting in front of his desk. Im a mopar guy now and will only buy mopar ever again!

1. '72 Plymouth Fury III (360 small block)
2. '82 Dodge 1/2 ton 4x4 (granny gear stick w/383 pulled from a Roadrunner)
3. '88 Dodge Dakota (4-banger)
4. '93 Dodge Intrepid
5. '02 Dodge Intrepid R/T (current)
6. '06 Dodge Charger SRT8 (current)

So, YES.

My first car was a manual '83 Dodge Turismo. I think I went through about 3 clutches in 8 months!! It was fun. Then when I actually had to buy my own car I opted for practical good on gas cars (Ford Escort, Cougar, cutlass, saturn). I LOVED the look of the Charger when it came out but couldn't afford it. It was the only car that I really wanted, looked mean. One day saw one on the used car lot, in the color I wanted it was just begging me to drive it so I did and I traded in my Saturn and never looked back! I have never bpught a car on pure impulse and never bought a car so easily. It was meant to be! So I guess I AM a Mopar woman!

One of my ex's had a '05 SRT4, so I guess that makes me a Mopar woman.

Hell, I learned to drive in a '66 Dodge Coronet wagon. I used to drive my brother's Dodge Dart before I had my license. Never got caught doing that.

My Mopar roots run deep.

lets just say all my cars that mattered have been mopars. the first 3 cars i owned i kinda didn't have much choice. they were hand me downs i got for cheap. since then its.

2000 Dakota R/T (still own)
1999 Dakota R/T (sold to buy charger)
2006 Charger SRT/8

lets just say it would take a lot to sway me to another brand, but I'm a sucker for sport trucks. that Ute made on the g8 platform they make in Australia caught my eye when i was watching top gear...

i have had hand me downs most of my life.

i have been in love with the gtx, dart, coronet, cuda, chally, charger, maggie, ram, and jeep for as long as i can remember.

my charger was the 1st car i ever bought that i wanted.

my wifes jeep is the second car i ever bought that i wanted.

when i find the right deal on a jeep wrangler sport with the 4.0 inline 6 that will be the third car that i would buy cause i wanted it.

my drive will not have anything but mopars in it as long as i live.

I miss my inline 6 still... .

that engine brand new in a crate only cost $1700!

Nope. This is my first MOPAR. My first car was a '71 Camaro (and dammit I wish I still had it!). Had a Firebird, a VW Rabbit (don't ask) and then assorted Nissans such as a Sentra, Pathfinder, and Maxima. I'd probably still have the Maxima if I didn't see the Charger. Once I saw it, I knew I just HAD to have it. Now I can't imagine ever NOT having one.

This car will be with me for life.

It's MOPAR or NO CAR. In the last 30 years I've only had a few non MOPARs and I regreted buying most of them.

78 Dodge 3/4 ton pick up

1st 88 beretta

3rd 94 buick centry ( aka hooptie ) still running like a champ but got rid of it cause no garage and 2 cars. the buick liked to spill rain all over the driver seat.
