I dont quite think thats what Raabit is looking for. Plus I couldn't see him driving that around everyday. And its also quite a drive from Denver to Sac in that piece.

Really? The most common vehicles i see broken down on the side of the road are Fords. But I guess it all depends on who owns the car. I have plenty of friends a family that have dodge trucks and have never had a problem, but at the same time I have friends that have fords and dont have problems just because they take care of their vehicles. Dont be so quick to judge on what you see on the side of the road.

Get a Tacoma or look for a nissan v-6. BUT if you find a Toyota T-100, get your hands on it quick, best truck ever made imo.

Oh yes, Subaru's are nasty also, i have a 98' impreza outback sport with 110k. paid 2100 bones.

As some one else already said, it's an Eagle Talon. Eagle was a division of Chrysler.
The Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse was a joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. Basically the same car with different badges.

The Subaru with Trax wheels is so much better than the H2. But still that H2 would be killer to take up into the mountains.

that h2 would be so sick if it wasn't dripping all that chrome. I'd still take the H2 just to run over subaru's though.
