Tom you are wrong on that one. Since it has the cummins in it, the dodges are now a gold plated pile of sh**.

Well Tom, If I am officially a non person now, at least I am an honest non person.

As far as imports go, I think most Toyotas are great little vehicles. Maybe not the coolest, but they don't need a whole lot and will go forever. Their large trucks are really underpowered, but I think they rule the small truck market. Also seen some good Subarus, and Hondas of course. Wasn't a huge fan of Nissan until I drove the 350Z, cool little car.

I feel yhe same way about the crown Vic and Grand Marquis.The last two new cars I bought my wife was a CV and GM.The GM is 11 years old and just over 100k and only repair was the intake manifold that I missed the recall on by a week actuallly 5 days
The CV would get 28 mpg with me driving it but never done better than 23 with the GM but I have driven it less than 1k miles since new
I really need to buy another one while I can still find one with low milage

We have a little civic that gets right around the 50 mpg mark, but it sure isnt the comfiest! I mean its not bad for a little econobox, but it sure isnt as comfy as a crown vic! We decided to get a car for mileage though.

Jay those are really awesome looking dogs!

If I were to ever get a car I would probbably look for either a jetta TDI manual, or a V8 mustang manual.

All the talk in the forums about wheels and grilles made me put my truck through photoshop to see what those Ballistic wheels would look like...and what painting the grille and a few other items would look like.

I like the wheels Lisa.

I dont like the grille painted...what would it look like if you painted the center of the grille red and left the chrome?

I washed my truck today and got one side of the truck clayed...what a difference in the feel of the paint.

I am a little short on shade or I would have more done.

I tried that mark, the red grille. It looks ok until you put the wheels on there, and then it looks gay.

The wheels don't look good on that truck unless I throw more black on there somewhere. those wheels probably aren't meant to be.
