Great story, suhawk, although it's a pity it ended with an accident. How cool that the remnants of the tree are still there for the forum photo comp.
The story really does make the photo take on a life of it's own. Nice one, suhawk!

Great story, suhawk. To me the saddest part is that you had to drive a Dodge Dynasty for 7 years.

Hey... I'm a Mopar fan, but there were many dark years for Dodge, starting in the mid-70s and ending...umm and ending.... ummm wellllll, the Challenger is pretty hot.

You’re right about that MTC, I should have taken the hint after owning the disaster, a ‘77 Plymouth Fury with the 400ci “lean burn” ignition system. I finally gave up on MOPARS two years ago.
Six of the best transmissions I ever owned were in the three Dodge Caravans we went through when the kids were growing up.

Finally, Toyota released a van.

I had three Dodge Caravans and at around 150.000 miles all the transmissions failed, the first one just exploded !
Too be honest I also often pulled a trailer with 2000 lbs of animal feed and no aftermarket transmission cooler on the van.
Besides that I loved the versatility of the vehicle.
Took a 100km round trip today to take a photo of this tree.
