My 1993 Plymouth Duster


Okay, I have a home page (sort of), so I figured my new car needs a home page. My previous car, a 1986 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon was a car I bought for $200 out of necessity, expecting it to last about 6 months, maybe less. Well, it ended up lasting 3 years. I miss it, but I'm also enjoying the fact that I have a really nice looking car now.

Car Comparison

Year/Make/Model	1993 Plymouth Duster	1986 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon
Color	Green, Gold Trim	Rust, Wood Grain Trim
Engine	2.5L 4 cylinder	Yes
Mileage	102,000 miles	136,000 miles DOA
Fuel Tank	12 gallons	Pacific Ocean
Fuel Mileage	24 miles/gallon	13.9 miles/gallon (not a joke)
Purchase Price	$2,900	$200
Hubcaps	4	3

Capacity (Maximum)	Not Yet Attempted	19 persons
Other Ammenities	Spoiler, fog lights, and the fact that it's a Chrysler product.	Missing front-right mirror, more cargo space than you can shake a stick at, surprisingly fast pickup (well, until it died), and secret compartments to smuggle rebel spies.

Notes
As you can see from this photo, the dealer that I bought this from took out a section of the pinstripes to put their logo on the back. I took the logo off, but I need to find a replacement for that section, which I have been unsucessful. If anyone knows where I can get light gold 1/16" pinstripes, e-mail me. I'd even appreciate it if we could arrange to have it shipped here (the package should only be about $3).
Update: While walking through Fleet Farm looking for a replacement fog light bulb (it amazes me that Fleet Farm's automotive center is SO MUCH better than an all-automotive store like AllCar), I noticed that they had a large selection of pinstripes. No light gold 1/16" stripes, however they did have burn gold 5/16" dual stripes, which is basically a 1/16" stripe, a 1/8" clear stripe and a 1/8" stripe. The color does not match perfectly (I am still looking for light gold), but unless you're right up on the back of the car, it's not noticable. (BTW, that photo is not real, just a touchup of the first photo.)

Photos
Note: The "Large" photos are EXTREMELY large (~300k per photo) because these photos were taken with a Kodak DS-260 digital camera. If you want clairity and resolution, choose the "Large" photos; if you want to see all of the photo in one screen, choose the "Medium" photos.
