    After buying my latest Acura I put attention to very strange phenomena: A good woman can make me happy for 2 weeks, :laugh: Very good woman will do that for 1 month, :laugh: Telephone call from my children can make me happy for 3 hours, :laugh: Bonus payment will make me angry for 3 days, :laugh: Telephone call from my Mom, Bro, Sis and so on may make me angry for 1 week. :laugh: BUT... good car can make me happy for 2 years and more. Very strange, No? My inevitable conclusion is “BUY VERY GOOD CAR EVERY 2 YEARS”. :confused: Please don’t take me too seriously; the comparisons are just for laughter. Nice day and drive safely, PROTECT YOUR BEST FRIEND ... :laugh:

      Is this a euphemism?

            I think you're on some kind of weird high because due to the valuation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar, you can now afford a better car.

              Just try to think beyond those 15 minutes of obvious enjoyment and there are far more possibilities for enjoyment available, for much longer.

              most cars are good for a year or more, usually equivalent to their warranty service period. And then they break down. :rolleyes:

                In the future dodge won't even be able to manage that. The lifetime powertrain warranty is going to bankrupt the company in the next 10-20 years when they have to buy $5k worth of new engine/tranny for millions of rust-buckets. :doh: But the vulture capitalists will have dumped the gutted corporate corpse onto someone else by then having made out like a king on short term profits.

                  I thought the fine print said only for original owners. Which means you have to keep the car yourself and never sell it. That is rare, people like new cars as a status symbol too.

                    could be, I'll admit to never reading it. The 1-3yo cars I looked at last summer all had warranty transfers. None were dodge/chrysler though, the people at their local dealership gave an exceptionally slimy feeling.

                      You could be right too, I have never read it... I just listen to the radio and hear the ads... where the guy tries to fit in 100 words in 10 seconds of air-time giving the "clause" at the end of hte commercial. You know something like this: "lifetime warranty on drive train only applies to original owner, discluding inheritance or sale of vehicle to any 3rd party. Warranty must be signed in blood during a blue moon in the month of december to be considered valid. Warranty service is considered free of monetary transfers for service, however, portions of the owner's soul will be transferred to the warranty seller, currently Mephostopheles Motors, Inc an independant service contractor to Dodge Motors, Inc."
