Eww!
I remember, when the K car came out my Ex was working at the Dodge
dealership. He wanted to buy me one of those boxy convertibles... it was
brown. I wholeheartedly discouraged him and told him I'd rather just play
with my old Chebby Truck (74 4x4 short bed - ugly and I loved it!) So, it
was lucky for me I never had to drive one. Instead, I got a high rise, an RV
cam, a 650 double pumper, 33's, a lift, enough chrome and braided stainless
under the hood to blind you (it was the thing back then - ok!) and some new
paint. Oh yea! Damn I loved that old truck.
Back then I was young (and much thinner) enough I could just climb up into
the engine compartment and sit on the inner fender well to work on it
Now I couldn't hike my fat *** up there if my life depended on it. *sigh*
Hmmmm... must be nostalga week.

Re: "Compass by Jeep is not traditional"
I drove an '84 for 160,000 miles. It was one of the most trouble free
vehicles I ever owned.
It was still running strong when I sold it to a co-worker who still drives
it.
The only breakdown was a timing belt at 120k. The belt, labor, towing, and
the taxi home was a little over $250. (the taxi alone was $52)

Re: "Compass by Jeep is not traditional"
A lot of things, but they worked well enough for a lot of people and
helped Chrysler to survive (with the help of a loan from us), long
enough to get taken over by the Germans.
