This 1999 Dodge Stratus wasn't our "special" car, but it certainly proved special during its 27-year run.

A Stratus For The Ages
A salute to those ‘beaters’ that refuse to quit
IBy Frank Adkins
n the collector car world, most folks are drawn to the flashy high-performance models and/or those that are extremely rare. While many of us own such vehicles today, our earliest automotive memories were likely forged by cars far more mundane than the ones on which we now lavish care and attention. These are the cars that most of us knew intimately in our earliest days, and they spawned the roots of what would become our life-long addictions to automobiles.
Often, they were basic, affordable transportation that our parents or relatives drove without giving much thought. Being too short to see out the windows, we studied the dashboard, door panels, and seat upholstery. Maybe we recall the sound of the engine lugging up a hill, the click of the door latches, or the whine of the starter. These early sensory inputs facilitated our first automotive bonds. It’s
important to not overlook the roles that these vehicles played in our automotive development.
Later, as our awareness of the world around us grew, our automotive tastes were probably influenced by movies, television shows, friends, and other experiences. This likely continued throughout our teenage years, during which we tend to develop deep affinities for certain brands
and/or models. Then, we spend the rest of our lives appreciating and seeking those models. But if not for those early influences, would we have become car enthusiasts at all?
My father drove a ’51 Ford with a flat-head six until it was involved in an accident when I was six. My parents also had a ’64 Dart four-door during most of my childhood, and my great aunt had a nearly identical Dart which eventually became my first car. My grandmother drove a ’67 Plymouth Belvedere four-door, and our neighbor had a ’67 Dart GT. I formed vivid memories with each of these cars before I was five. Later influences, between ages five and 10, included a ’69 Dart GTS convertible, a ’65 Chevelle SS, a ’68 Charger R/T, a ’71 Chevelle SS 454, a ’67 Satellite, a Ranchero GT, a couple of ’69 Camaros, and several other cars that I saw frequently in our neighborhood. I couldn’t wait for the day when I would own a cool car or two!
Today, with an ugly 145-mile roundtrip daily commute, I rarely drive any of our “special” cars to work. I also cannot justify the cost of a new car, for I doubt that it would outlast the payments. Instead, I rely on “beaters” — cars that I can pick up for next to nothing. I invest a little bit of time and money into them to make them safe and reliable, and then I run the wheels off them. Until recently, I had a 1999 Dodge Stratus that my wife, Kristy, and I bought when it was just a few years old. It had served her faithfully for nearly 20 years before driving a five-speed no longer agreed with her advancing arthritis. When we purchased it, we were empty-nesters, but we were not yet grandparents. One by one, our four grandchildren arrived, and each of them accumulated seat time in the Stratus just as I had done in my grandmother’s Belvedere. As a child, I was always happy to see the brown Belvedere pull up in front of our house, for it meant that Gram had arrived! I hope all of our grandchildren have similar memories involving our dark green Stratus.
the odometer approached 200,000 miles, I began to fear that engine failure was imminent — so much so that we bought another car. But before we had arrived at home in the Stratus’s replacement Kristy said, “I like this car, but I want to keep driving mine until something major goes wrong with it.” Fair enough, but with 200,000 miles, I was sure it wouldn’t be long. Ten years and more than 150,000 miles later, we sold the other car. I would have never believed that the Stratus would last so long!
And it was there that its spirit wafted away, much like the smoke it had spewed moments earlier. The odometer showed 524,072.
Throughout its life I changed the timing belt and water pump every 100,000 miles, each time thinking I would never have to do it again. I also replaced one starter, a few alternators, a couple of fuel pumps, all four struts, motor mounts, and all of the brake lines. Of course, I also replaced the brakes and related components as well as the various suspension joints, bushings, and other consumables whenever required. I also changed the clutch once due to a leaking rear crankshaft seal. But I never had to open up the engine or transmission. Not only is the head gasket original, I never had a reason to remove the valve cover! However, as the years passed, rust nibbled at the rockers, eventually devouring them and some of the critical under-body structure. I worried its days were numbered because soon it would no longer be safe to drive.
In addition to fulfilling its role as Kristy’s commuter, when we went anywhere together, it was almost always in her car. The Stratus made countless trips back and forth to Maine, both during vacations as well as weekend trips to work on our home and nearby property. When Kristy opted for a vehicle with an automatic transmission, I took it as my daily driver to finish out its life.
I must admit, I was not fond of the Stratus sedan, at least not initially. I was an auto mechanic for over half of my adult life, and for most of that time I was a Dodge/Chrysler dealership ‘wrench.’ With its cramped engine compartment, the Stratus was much more difficult to service than its predecessors. If somebody had told me back then that we would drive one for more than two decades and that it would be the best car we would ever own, I would have laughed. In fact, as
My worries ended suddenly and unexpectedly on the morning of March 4th. I was driving to work when the engine bucked violently, and then it started making noises akin to a cement mixer. I was northbound on Delaware Route 1 just north of the south Dover exit, and I knew that there was a place where I could pull over safely a quarter of a mile farther up the road. The Stratus kept running, and it carried me to that spot while spewing a fog of burnt oil and coolant. The noises grew worse, the engine ran roughly, and the check engine light blinked its dire warning. Although mortally wounded, the car chugged on in defiance of its injuries as if to ensure that it didn’t leave me in danger. Once I came to a stop, I had to shut it off, for my faithful steed simply refused to quit on its own. Restarting it was out of the question, for as I soon discovered, number four connecting rod had exited through the front of the engine and knocked the starter off the bell housing. And it was there that its spirit wafted away, much like the smoke it had spewed moments earlier. The odometer showed 524,072.
Although its life is over, in its final act the Stratus provided training opportunities for my automotive students. Of course, it is by no means collectible, nor is it likely that similar examples will appear at car shows or cruises, but it is a 27-year-old vehicle — much older than any of the cars that left indelible marks in my psyche when I was a child. I can only hope that it had a similar effect on our grandchildren.
When it comes to thrifting, this is the shop we all dream about. We’re driving down a country road in a rural area and we come across an old proprietor who has been collecting for decades. Here in North Carolina, there are many shops just like this one. It’s one of the reasons I love living here.
ARE YOU A THRIFTER?
IBy Lou Sitaras
grew up in a working-class family. We didn’t have extra money, but Mom always bought new clothes for my sister and me — usually from Sears — at the beginning of each school year, and a few extras at Christmas. There were no thrift store purchases because us kids always came first, although I do remember hearing a few groans from Dad when Mom would inform him I had grown out of my suit and needed a new one. I am unaware of any thrift stores back then, but they must have existed. Most likely, they were in larger metropolitan areas where life could be a bit more challenging.
Today, thrift stores and antiques stores are found just about anywhere. Many are smaller independent stores associated with various charities, but there are also a few popular chains such as Goodwill or The Salvation Army. Where once there may have been a stigma associated with purchasing used goods, today people brag about the deals they find. They’ll bring family, friends, and neighbors along, and make an outing of it. The used goods don’t just apply to stores either. For us car enthusiasts, a trip to Carlisle Events or to regional swap meets to discover that rare, desirable part is what we do all year long during the season — and even in the offseason.

Thrifting seemed to have really picked up in the early 2000s with TV shows such as Pawn Stars or American Pickers . Both shows showcased how much money you could make if you had a sharp eye and good knowledge of antiques. I loved watching Mike Wolf and Frank Fritz dig through barns of old motorcycles and piles of old toys, signs, and industrial equipment and talk about what made their finds so special. Add to that the emergence of online shopping and eBay and the country was ripe for a new way to earn a living.
There are mainly four types of people who purchase used items:
1. THE SAVER: The person who refuses to pay retail and prefers to go through as little cash as possible.
2. THE COLLECTOR: This is the person who scouts out thrift stores and swap meets to add items to their collection.
3. THE RESELLER: This is the person who buys low and sees an opportunity to sell high and make some money.
4. THE HOARDER: The person who starts out as a saver, collector, or reseller but somewhere along the line, loses control so that eventually every room in the house has been overtaken with boxes and boxes of stuff. Everyone thinks that can never happen to them, but it’s incredible how quickly a passionate hobby can overtake your life.
Coincidentally, or maybe not, along with the advent of thrift st ores comes another phenomenon, the advent of storage facilities. Everywhere you look, new storage buildings are popping up quicker than you can count. Within five miles from my house, there are 16 storage facilities holding everything from classic cars, boats, RVs, furniture, precious memories, and even total junk. Yes, people will pay money to store junk just to keep it out of their house. And as the saying goes: One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. How true. So, can you make a living selling other people’s stuff? Yes, absolutely! It’s done every day in this country. I know this as fact because it’s how I earn my living. Granted, I’m not Mike Wolf but I do have an eBay store and a store inside the Catawba River Antique Mall. Everyone has their own sources for merchandise. Some people gather goods at auctions, estate sales, swap meets, or even garage sales and flip these items on sites like Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, Vinted, or eBay. I once watched the same classic car sell four different times in the course of a weekend at Carlisle Events. Everyone made money on that one!
In this world, there is always an abundance of people looking to clean their houses out. And, fortunately, another group looking to
purchase everything the first group has — for a discount. Sometimes, those buying are called vultures because they’re grabbing all they can, but that’s really not fair. They are there to provide a service so they can support their family. Whatever your reason for purchasing pre-owned items, parts, or cars, the deals are out there. The trick is to make sure you’re the first in line.
If you pull up to a flea market on a Sunday morning looking for treasures, this is what you’ll see. Vendors selling on a table next to their car or truck and buyers with cash in their pocket ready to let it go for a good deal.
The Terrell Country Store was one of my favorite stops in North Carolina. The building was from the 1800s and the treasures inside were priceless. Sadly the building was demolished just recently to make way for new construction.
South Jersey Mopar Connection
A great way for any club to open the car season is by hosting a successful car show. Such was the case with the first event of 2026 for the South Jersey Mopar Connection team.
The club held its car show in the Raymour and Flanigan parking area in Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Vehicles of all persuasions were invited to participate, making it a great way to kick off the club’s event calendar.
The South Jersey Mopar Connection also donates partial proceeds to benefit local charities. All in all, it looks like the Mopar club is off to a great start for the endless summer of 2026.

Henri’s Motown Classics Cruise
There is something about the aroma of smoked barbecue cooking that awakens the senses and creates a craving for food fresh off the grill. Henri’s Hots BBQ food stand and restaurant is a great place to enjoy good food and the fun of cruising.
Henri’s held its “Henri’s Motown Classic Showdown,” inviting cars and cycles out for a day of great food, music, and fantastic rides. There was plenty to enjoy at this gathering, and the Folsom, New Jersey, eatery definitely covered the bases with a welcome springtime cruise.
Cars and Cones
Bears Country Custard is a neat, family-owned ice cream store located in Folsom, New Jersey. They offer a comfortable family atmosphere for the car community with their Classic Cars and Cones gathering held on the first Monday of each month.
The season opener started off with a fine turnout of rides and plenty of variety when it came to ice cream goodies to choose from.

Blacktop Villains’ Cruise
The Blacktop Villains Car Club members are no strangers to putting on car events. This group is noted for its attention to detail and organization. The Villains recently introduced their inaugural cruise event at Alisha’s Five Star Dive Bar in Williamstown, New Jersey. A sunny day provided the kind of weather cruisers enjoy, bringing out many fine rides.
The Villains also asked cruisers to bring a non-perishable food item in support of the club’s local food pantry drive. It was the kind of day where everyone was a winner.

Cruisin’ In Winter
During the off season of car activities, cruisers usually look for something automotive to keep the “juices” flowing. A few cruisers got together and made an appointment to go for a tour of a professional restoration facility. They agreed that watching a show-quality ride being constructed and being able to ask the proprietor questions can be a very motivating thing.
Salzfrei After Brine
Cars & Coffee
Enter Tom Rightler who is the owner/operator of Mid-Atlantic Muscle Cars located in Bridgeton, NJ. Rightler is no stranger to restoring muscle cars and has animpressive list of clients and accomplishments. It’s also safe to say his passion for the Chevelle served as special inspiration.
“Salzfrei” is German for “without salt.” Motor House Media, in cooperation with Gateway Classics, hosted a celebration marking the season’s end to road salt and brine with a Cars and Coffee event called “Salzfrei After Brine Cars and Coffee.”
While at his shop, one guest (Jim Solomon) presented Rightler with his watercolor artwork depicting Rightler’s reconstructed General Lee. A walk-through had guests checking out an area that had an original contemporary Shelby Cobra frame ready for the body (as well as related parts) and assembly to be completed.
The gathering was held at the Gateway Classics location in Runnemede, New Jersey. Motor House is a media company that focuses on the thrill of the ride, the beauty of the machine, and life in the garage.
A neat concept in car entertainment. You can check them out at motorhousemedia.com.

SHIFTIN’ GEARS
By Ben Notaro • red63vetnj@comcast.net
was talking to an old gentlemen who purchased a “newer” car and he asked me to help him set his car radio. It was digital and no big deal to set but he went on to talk about the new gadgets and gizmos in a car and some of the things that just are too “newfangled” to figure out. This lead me to thinking about the many innovations that have come out of Detroit and how their ideas may have been a real pain in the neck for consumers had they had all been produced. Some made it into production but practicality just wasn’t in the mix for some of the ideas.
So, after I did some extensive research in the great Notaro library and broke out some magazines that had been collecting dust on my book shelf, I came up with some ideas that should have stayed in someone’s head or should never made it into production. Here are a few things that I discovered.
Bright ideas from the 1950s:
1. The bubble top. Inspired by jet aircraft these futuristic hardtops were really cool looking. Ah.. cool looking and just plain hot for the car’s occupants. The greenhouse effect to the max.
2. The car hi-fi record player. This made it to production and it played 45 RPM records. On a smooth road it wasn’t too bad … but hit a bump or pothole and you skipped the record.
3. Push button transmission. This on the dash (except for Edsel) gear selector was really neat. It was great when it worked and could be a bit confusing as compared to a standard gear shift lever.
Bright ideas for the 1960s:
1. Gas turbine engines. These things run on just about anything including booze. At the time they were costly and supposedly did not have a quick throttle response. Chrysler had a beautiful turbine concept car with the turbine engine.
2. The Amphicar. This ride could be driven on land or water and was produced but had a short run. It did not give great performance and needed attention to maintenance. I guess if you got stuck in the water AAA was going to have a logistical towing concern.
Bright ideas for the 1970s:
1. The Oldsmobile diesel. GM got the idea to convert a gas engine to diesel. It was a great idea but it was not prone to working well. The conversion was resulting in minimal, at best, reliability and prone to breakage.
2. The Ford Pinto: I always liked the Pinto but the rather novel location of the gas tank caused potential; catastrophic fires.
There were more ideas that came and went…. all with good intentions of being the first, most unique and innovative idea of the day. An old friend of mine once told me. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
I guess that road can have some serious bumps in the pavement.
Department of America: Happy 250th Birthday to the greatest nation on the planet.
Department of Energy: Oh, how we long for the days of 28 cents a gallon gas.
Department of Transportation: How about the federal government issues a special one-time license plate for cars over 60 years old?
