I live in Oklahoma City and see occasional snow & ice. For bad weather days, I'd likely drive my beater pickup.

I'm not much of a risk taker so buying a limited production car is challenging me. Looks like I have a little soul searching to do! :-P
Hey there Poncho Villa,
There are several forum members here in the OKC area. When you decide to jump in and join the fun we can get toghether and may be do a fun run....
As to your maintenance questions, I've not had any major issues with either of ours (not including the recalled top on the roadster-fixed at no charge by Chrysler, thank you very much) and one crank sensor (easy fix), and the notorious upper cover leak (for someone of your skill- a no brainer).
So, come on in, the water's fine....
