The New Chrysler

[jjeling]

???? Since Daimler sold off Chrysler, they've had to remove the Daimler off all of their trucks. It took 2 million dollars of their own money to do this. Crazy stuff. In the process, Chrysler has been trying to figure out how to market themselves, so its now "The New Chrysler." It includes the Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth divisions. I do believe Plymouths are no longer in production however, but in time the badge will be resurrected like always. Either way, here are a few more shots from around town.

ALL Jeep Wranglers are made here in Toledo. Several years ago Jeep demolished their old plant and was looking to relocate. Yeah right. Jeep is Toledo's biggest pride, and for good reason. They are the counties largest employer and Toledo got them to stay. Needless to say, in front of the plant a GIANT Jeep sign is next to the highway with a couple Jeeps parked in front of it.

HAHAHA!!! This is a picture of my cousin who works there as well. Most people here have several family members that work for Jeep/Chrysler. My cousin and I share the same name, JEFF! As we like to think, J's rule the world, kind of like Jesus! :rolleyes: hahaha. We also say, two Jeff's dont make a right too. haha. Wow, I know pretty lame, but thats Toledo humor for you. Anyways, I got a picture of him in one of the tractors, figured I would take advantage of it. Ill be blowing this up and giving it to him some time. I just couldn't resist.

Just a couple more. These aren't great by any means, but life isnt either. The big guy in red, IMPOSSIBLE for him to get a good picture without a funny look on his face. Just how he is. Nobody likes to sit still either.



Notice on the trucks where it says "Chrysler?" Before it said DaimlerChrysler. This is where Daimler used to be. 2 million dollars later, POOF!

As long as they keep the HEMI around life is good. I don't know how I could go on should I not be able to replace mine when my truck needs to be replaced. Real American V8 Muscle. I like the one with the man using a grinder I assume, but I would play with it a bit and make it a bit more dramatic.

I like the welding/cutting (not a shop kinda gal) photo the best..sparks always do that for me :)

You know, I haven't taken on a job like that and I think you are handling it well! Keep it up! :)

??? Not sure about that one. Jesus Everything's Exactly Perfect! HAHAHA! My opinion about Jeep anyways. Can't ask for a better vehicle IMO. Unless you need a truck, then there is always the RAM. You know what they say about those. "If you can't Dodge it, RAM it!"

General Purpose Vehicle, became GP or Jeep. I used to own a Jeep YJ Sahara when they first came up with the new look around '89 if my memory serves my right, I wouldn't buy one now that they got rid of the inline 6, one of the most durable engines Chrysler made besides the slant 6, these new V6 that out in them are not even close to those indestructible inline 6's. Mind you I love my HEMI. But nothing like cruising down the highway with the roof and doors off, even better than a Bike which in my like I have also owned.
