More from jellybeans95
For the license plate thing... Here's my two "kids".
Left: 1995 SOHC ATX Dodge Neon Sport Coupe (and the source of my nickname's sake)
Right: 2004 SOHC MTX Dodge Neon SXT
Oh the nickname? "Jellybeans"... See, when I was younger, my grandpa didn't want me to swear (stuff I picked up from my dad lol), so he said to say "jellybeans" instead. And, since he worked for Ford, his joke was any non-Ford was a "cuss word" (in jest). So when I brought my first car over to him, he told me I had a "Jellybean"...thus the plates (GReen JelLYBeaN).
A few months later, a guy asked for the story. I told him, and later on, he couldn't remember my real name, but referred to me as "the Jellybean girl" and finally just "Jellybeans". It stuck. :)

Actually, I think the only color that was non-SXT was stone white. My old neighbor has an Orange Blast SXT.
Green one's slow, but that's because it's old, SOHC, and an automatic. Typical Dodge auto trannies, it slips like crazy.
But when running right, it's a blast to drive. That one has the sport suspension on it, so it handles a bit better than my SXT, but the SXT is the preferred drive. (Cuz it's a stick! Came with the MOPAR short-throw shifter!)

I know you posted this picture forever ago... but I had to comment... Your Neons are awesome! They're a good match, and I've always thought blue SXTs looked really cool. I have a 2005 SXT, and it's called Jellybean also. My father in law started calling it that because it's round like a jellybean. XD

Thanks for the comment and favorite. Sadly, both of those are no longer in my possession, but I'm hoping to upgrade to an SRT soon. *crosses fingers*
I love the blue :) it's probably my favorite color they came in. That and the really bright green.
I love the tail lights on yours, I wanted those for my SXT.

Awww I'm sorry you don't have your Neons anymore. :( But woohoo SRT! I want to get a black one someday.
Oooh was bright green stock? I don't think I've seen one of those, at least in the newer models. I think I've seen some 90-something Neons bright green but idk if it was stock.
Thanks. :)

Yeah the bright green was a rare 95-only color. They called it Nitrous Yellow-Green, or NYG for short.

They came in 2 and 4 door in all models of Neons for 95. Some are rarer than othes (I believe a 4-door NYG ACR was one of the rarest combos).
If I find one of those, I might buy it and drop in an SRT engine.
