>>As someone who has driven a Formula Dodge and a Neon at speed I have no problems with that company being involved in the Mini engine at any level. As far as Chrysler, remember the K car? You couldn't kill that engine with a gun!

My Mom still has her K-Car.. err, Dodge Aries... still runs just fine, .. of course, she doesn't drive it around much, but when she does it's 'ol reliable...

Yeah. I had a friend who had one until recently. It died after he drove it into a river.
Not intentionally though
