I drive a Dodge Stratus!!

My dad was such a dickhead during the period of time those came out, and he owned a Stratus. My wife and I still say "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS" whenever one of us feels the other is getting too egotistical about something.

I had a couple of them. They were fun little cars.

I can do you one better though, I saw an Aerostar running down the road not too long ago.

I couldn't tell you when I saw one, but I did say this last week!

Well I had a Plymouth Breeze as my first car I bought off my parents. It's essentially the same car.

Wow, I thought they had all gotten taken out by the other worst driver magnet car - the mitsubishi galant.

That was my dream car in high school. Or the dodge avenger.

I was always drooling over other kids' Pontiac Grand-Ams, mainly because they were always new cars and I drove a complete beater.

Wow, my views on cars back then were just terrible.

I found a clean GXP on fbmp the other day and almost pulled the trigger on buying it. They are still good looking cars.

I used to want a Dodge Neon when they came out. Was clearly a dumbass kid.

I mean, to be fair, I was driving a 1986 Chevy Cavalier wagon at the time. The doors were so rusted out that the bottoms were non-existent and the front passenger door was stuck shut.

My first car was an 89 Cavalier, two doors. I actually loved it until the heater core cracked and I was engulfed in fumes that smelled like burning paint

It was fun to drive, didn't get me wrong. It was just missing some of those features reserved only for luxury cars like a tape deck and air conditioning.

CorgiMonsoon@reddit

I swapped out the radio for a CD player! I was living in luxury, lol

1984 GMC Suburban for me… 10-12 mpg, but you could turn the back into a queen sized bed with the seats folded down. lol. Good times.

Nice!

Mine was a 5 speed manual and could actually accurate when I needed it, which as a teenager was all the time.

CorgiMonsoon@reddit

I wanted a Geo Tracker…

My classmates older sister rolled one her senior year on the highway - in the hospital for months but she survived. I thought they were sweet too, until my dad explained why I’d never ever own one.

I had a Dodge Stratus in grade 11 and upgraded to a Grand Am GT1 in grades 12/13. I had that thing until 2014.

[-]

DoctorFenix@reddit

I had a Dodge Avenger.

I loved that car.

The Stratus was your dream car? That's a sentence I never thought I'd read.

[-]

murfburffle@reddit

It's like a default car - what an AI would make if you just said "car"

[-]

iAmNotAfraid_Spiders@reddit

That reminded me of the Dodge Stealth, I think it had the same engine as the Mitsubishi 3000, and I remember seeing a few of those around in high school in the late 90s. Then I googled it, and apparently they've resurrected the name for the 2025 replacement to the Durango.

I love the final line from SMG - "I hate you! Both."

dufflebag7@reddit

This reminds me of the tee-shirts in the Dark Tower books. I drive a Takuro Spirit! I drink Nozz-a-La Cola!

HTownGuero666@reddit

The last time I saw a Dodge Stratus was the day my oil-leaking, busted air conditioner, piece of shit Strat burned to the ground. It was an awful car but it was better than the nothing I drove for the next year!

[-]

ineptplumberr@reddit

Back in like 2000 I had one for a month while car was getting repaired. I did things in that rental that only racecars and 4x4 trucks should do

[-]

TopRedacted@reddit

Remember when the same car would come out but it would be sold as a Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler?

At one time I owner every name variant or the Neon. It was like pokemon but with motors that threw the timing chain at 99k miles.
