20 May 2005 Site transferred to Allpar, the premier Chrysler-oriented Web site. We hope this will not result in history repeating itself. Allpar hopes to add to and honor the site even though it may look messy as we transition the technology over to what we’re used to. (I realize that this sounds very familiar. We hope it will work out well this time.) Sorry for the ads but please realize they don't even pay for the hosting costs! (And we don’t appreciate the nasty comments — “how dare he not lose money every month after paying for the site!”)
