Yea, he really deserves it. He has probably single handedly saved the jobs of over 4000 employees and more importantly 4000 people that people have families to take care of.

He saved Chrysler & large part of Detroit. The 300C gave the company momentum to build a batch of other lines. Very few sedan out there (none ??) look more attractive than the 300C. The 300C SRT8 could give a guy an orgasim.

To my one and only brother...a well deserved promotion.
A true example, of if you love what you do and do what you love...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...
Keep up the good work and remember that despite my gray hairs I can still ...your butt.
See you at the race track.
Love,
Big Brother

What a Blessing Ralph.
I have a 14 year old son who loves cars as much as you do and I was wondering is you would be his Mentor? He really wants to design and He loves your "300."
