I'm Not a Car Guy, But...

the local media is going crazy over the retooling of the nearby Chrysler plant. The Neon has been produced here from the beginning. I remember seeing lines of six Neons zipping around the rural areas outside of town when I was siding houses some ten years ago, before the Neon was actually released. They were putting them through the paces, hundreds of miles a day on country roads, not so many miles a day in the city. There were a couple of groups of the cars, and they were all over the place before the release. In September the plant shuts down for a retooling, and everyone is wondering what will be coming out next.
