Junkyard Find: 1999 Dodge Neon Sport

When Chrysler went all macho with tough car names, it was partly an attempt to expunge the marketing memory of the cute and happy ads for the Neon. The Neon was much better than its wretched Shadow/Sundance predecessor, but still enough of a disposo-car that junkyards teem with them today. Mostly I walk right by discarded Neons (unless I see something unusual, like an Expresso or an R/T), but this ’99 Neon Sport has aftermarket performance gear to match its stickers and that’s interesting enough for this series.

  • VoGhost Oh, Mattie, I am BEGGING you to take a course in economics. There's probably a community college near you offering courses for free or very cheap. Seriously, people this ignorant of basic economics really should not be writing this drivel. Stick to what you know: pimping for big oil.
  • 2manyvettes I was a computer instructor in a local technical college for some years teaching Windows OS and Micosoft Office. Not long before I retired I purchased a Mac Book Air laptop. It didn't take me long to learn the Apple OS and the first thing I learned was the lousy job Microsoft did ripping off the Apple software. I purchased Microsoft Office for Apple at the time and discovered when Apple upgraded the OS to 64 bit and my 32 bit Office software would no longer run on the laptop, that embedded in the Apple OS was software that could open any Office file and could save any file in Microsoft file format. I have always felt if Apple sold product at PC prices they would put Microsoft out of business. Oh, and I bought my Mac ten years ago and still runs like brand new. Effect on Rivian? Who knows? Based on my experience with their technology, it could be interesting.
  • Spectator This was an amazing vehicle. Back then Acura knew how to make a plush and comfy seat!
  • Syke F1 fan and normally watch every race, although most of them are DVR'd. I've got my Xfinity box set up to record everything automatically. This past Sunday I watched the race live for a change.
