That's right, some of you may remeber my post a few months ago about selling my new 06 WRX (which was serving as my d/d), or maybe you don't?

Anway, I traded it in for this...

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 "Night Runner" edition.
- 20" Black Chrome wheels
- Black Chrome billet grille
- Blacked out headlights
- De-badged
- color-matched grille trim, front / rear bumpers
- embriodered headrests
- some other misc. crap.

Here's the pics!!!! (not my truck, but exactly the same as mine):

Dude you got a Hemi. That's all you had to say. Those trucks are dope. My father has a quadcab and that thing moves. Don't fret too much over the WRX. I assure you that you are going to like this truck.

I appreciate when I see a nice WRX on the road over a Hemi. They seem way too common nowadays.

I'd have kept the WRX...sorry. Nice truck though. In fact i'm contemplating trading my Jeep in for a WRX, but it may end up being an Evo instead...i just want something with some pep that's AWD so i can still romp in the snow.

I looked at a Ram a few years back with a Hemi and it was rated at 9 city/13 highway.

That's a nice truck but I would give almost anything for a WRX DD.

Night runner pickups are nice trucks. That was one of the last vehicles I washed while I worked at the carwash. I love the blacked out look, even though I didn't care a lot for the embroidered headrests.

Thats not too bad. The ones I looked at were probably back around '03 or so and they didnt have that feature.

My brother has an '05 Ram 2500 with a Cummins diesel and its a bad ass truck.

I was thinking the same thing but they're crazy expensive...i'd buy a Mach1 or Cobra first. Plus they get HORRIBLE gas mileage....something like 14mpg i think...don't know right off hand but i remember it being pretty crappy. I'm not sure of what the WRX gets...

Maybe wht93gtEd can give us an idea?

The other thing i don't like about Scoobies is that the parts are pricey as hell. I had a Legacy and parts were outragious.

with the WRX, I was getting between 25 and 27 average (note: I commute a lot), but I don't drive "conservatively"

I can guarantee that every day, while exiting the toll, it was all out!! *sigh* that car was awesome!
