....Well sorta I didnt get rid of the car that is! I have missed having a truck since having my Jeep Grand Cherokee. So I finally found exactly what I was looking for in a truck and pulled the trigger. I picked up an 06 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with the Hemi and pretty much every option except for moonroof and factory nav. Truck is 1 owner with 34k miles. I love this thing to death, and cant wait to pull the car around with it!!! Just fig. I would share!!










oh yeah....I CANT WAIT for all this snow to melt! Car has been in the garage since Nov!!!! I think I had it out once with some idle time to keep things fresh.....

Hurry Up Spring!

Nice truck. I love the newer Ram's and would get one myself. Actually was going to get an 07 but owned too much on my Fusion....so I need to wait a little longer and them will be on the look again.

Sweet truck. Is it 4x4? Im not the biggest Dodge guy, but I'd take one over a GM product. A friend of mine is Mopar all the way, and has an '05 Ram. He wants to trade it for a Cummins but at the same time loves the gas Ram too much to trade it.

Thanks all! Yes the truck is 4x4 of course! Wont be a bass boat behind it to soon, but will be a 16' car trailer towing the car to the track and back

And as far as the camaro, its a work in progess. Currently has a 327 with 13-1 compression ratio, Muncie 4 Spd and 4.56 gears in the rear....its wild....usually shifting it at 8,000 rpm's Its wild to say the least!

Here is an OLD pic when I had my fox back in the day

I have to ask you guys, what's wrong with the new F150's? I will admit that my blood runs blue and I will probably never buy anything but a Ford truck but I'm just curious why Mustang guys are not into the new F150's. I drove my old 1995 into the ground and I'm the first to admit that my old truck was never on top but when I finally broke down and upgraded last fall I didn't have to give it much thought.

the only thing stopping me from having a newer (running) truck is the size of my pay check. and i would love to have a 4" spring kit on a 5.4 F150 FX4 maybe some 35 Kumoho's. truck wouldn't even have to be brand new. 2003-2007. oh and color would have to be black, cause FX4 looks BA in red overtop of that black.

I looked at several used Fx4's before I bought my Ram. What killed the deal was mainly 1 thing: The ext. cab was to small....I use my bed, so I need a 6' bed. I wanted 4 doors in a truck because ext. cab was to small for what I wanted. So to get 4 doors and a 6' bed, Ram was the way to go for me.
