May be one of the most gifted suggestions I have heard in a long time.  Bring it on!  Hell, I might even buy a chrysler product for that.

Even that generation of Sebring is an SLA car. Suspension potential, I tell you!

Re: I always wondered

Can we open up the 12 hours of Sebrings to include the other Mopars on the same platform? A friend has a Breeze that can't be worth more than $500.

Are you ok with a Economy class ticket? Also, remember.
In Europe, It's the other way around. Fieros cost $5000 and Minis cost $500

Re: I always wondered

It needs classes for the older Satellite Sebring. I'd take extra time to locate a crap-tastic '75 model with plaid upholstery.
Handles like a tugboat? Check.
Pathetic smog-choked performance? Check.
Horrid fuel economy anyway? Check.
