    Could you stay in the truck with all the noise on the Older Cummings.
    Man they are loud.


    If I went and bought any kind of car, even a Corvette and stuck it in the driveway and threw the keys on the table, nobody here would drive it.
    We haven't owned a car in over 20 yrs.

    My neighbor has a 300M Dodge.

    He hauled ass and wrecked it and did like 10,000 of damage to it.
    Just got it back.

    he got also got a letter in the mail for a free set of spark plugs. when he got to the dealer he found out he needed to cough up a lot of money for a extra set of money since it has 2 plugs per hole.


    If I bought a car it would be a mustang.

    Sadly, the talking heads have managed to convince half the nation that the yellow liquid running down their backs is just rain..........:banghead:

    I saw that commercial and was scratching my head when they said they paid it back in full. How stupid do they think we are anyway. They just keep piling crap on top of crap. I'm so sick of these lying CEOs:wtf:

    "F" GM. Did you see that new 2011 Mustang GT?!? That thing is nice! Check out Youtube for 2011 Mustang GT. 412hp but dynos at 395 and kicks Camaro's ars.

    My buddy's wife got a new Mustang a couple years ago.
    Its a fire cherry Red Convertible.
    It just has the 4.6 V-8 with 300 hp.
    She fell in love with it.
    Bet you can't find a scratch or dent or piece of dirt anywhere on it either.

    My wife has an '07 red GT ragtop 5 speed. She took training to ride a motorcycle but wasn't really comfortable riding so I got rid of the Ducati I had and picked up this car on Jan 2 2008. It was about 25 below when I picked it up and put it in the garage till spring. Nice car, bit big and heavy but she really likes it...sure like to give that 5 litre a try..saw the vid on youtube...oh yeah!!!!!!

    Bob I can't believe you got rid of the Ducati! :eek:

    Got 19.5 MPG with the Dodge 4X4 this past weekend with 4 guys and luggage going over several mountain passes, once in 4 wheel drive.

    we're kind of hijacking this thread but as much as I loved riding the Ducati ..and boy did I, I wasn't getting out on it much because the Harley was much more comfy for my wife so the Ducati didn't see much road time. i also had trouble with the CPU with it and parts are hard to get for it. I remember all the old stories about Harleys being unreliable but the Electra Glide has been great..no fuss no muss and we just get on the bike and take off and go on vacation. I think my sport biking days are over

    Your right about the comfort of the big Harley touring bike, pretty darn comfortable. You would like the new frame on the newer touring models.
