BTW, that $7 paint gun he's using is legendary for being a best buy at Horrible Freight.

"We should get at least the life of the car out of that paint job."

So, about 4-6 months?

He was guessing 24 months.

Never can tell. I sold my dad’s 2000 Hyundai to my cleaning lady’s family in 2013 with 100k+ on it. They’re still driving it.

Yeah, but this is a Dodge fucking NEON, man.

Isn't that really a rebranded Mitsubishi of some sort?

No, the Dodge Neon was not a rebranded Mitsubishi. The Dodge Neon was developed in-house by Chrysler Corporation and was not based on any Mitsubishi platform. It was a unique design built specifically for Chrysler's compact car lineup and was sold under the Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler brands.

Dodge-Chrysler-Mitsubishi Connection:
The confusion might stem from the fact that Chrysler and Mitsubishi had a partnership through the Diamond-Star Motors (DSM) joint venture. This partnership resulted in shared platforms and rebranded vehicles like the Dodge Colt, Eagle Talon, and Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, the Neon was not part of this collaboration.

The Neon was a distinct product, showcasing Chrysler's design and engineering, with no direct ties to Mitsubishi in its development or design.
