Whats this got to do with the price of gold in London? You can hardly wait? Why? Do you hate American brand trucks that bad? Go buy a Tundra right now!!! It will hold you over till then surely! Why drive a Dodge now? Dont mess around! Get the Toyota now! And what guarantee is there that it will be made on American soil by American citizens? The money is going back to Japan... thats for sure.



READ AND SEE WHERE ALL OUR BAILOUT DOLLARS ARE GOING. BOTH CHRYSLER AND GM ARE CLOSING MORE AMERICAN PLANTS AND SENDING MORE OF THE JOBS OVERSEAS SO THEY "CAN BE COMPETITIVE"



I'LL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A DODGE AS I HAVE SINCE 1982 SINCE TOYOTA ISN'T MAKING A 1 TON DUALLY YET. I'LL CONTINUE TO DRIVE DODGES UP TO THOSE MADE AFTER MARCH 09', THEN I'LL BE DONE WITH BOTH CHRYSLER AND GM.



THERE IS NO GUARANTEE TOYOTA 1 TONS WILL BE MADE IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS HOWEVER SOME OF THEIR PRODUCTS ARE, POSSIBLY THEY WILL BE MADE OVERSEAS AS MORE AND MORE OF CHRYSLER AND GM PRODUCTS WILL BE BUT AT LEAST I'LL BE PAYING THEM WITH MY CASH AND NOT MY TAX BAILOUT DOLLARS

I may be mistaken; but It looks like there is some bled over from the political forum. Would it be too much to ask if the topic stays to 1st Gens?

Thanks!

 

[pepecat]

thanks guys. Lets all do what we can to spread the knowledge and inform people about first gens. If I speak to a guy with a 'chipped' 1st gen, I'd approach that situation from higher ground - instead of running away, why not arrange a couple knock-out punches/gold nuggets of info to inform the guy with facts and leave him with a homework assignment and something to think about and walk away... Maybe give him a TDR sticker while you're at it.

Alright, time for another rant:



The newest epidemic that is plaguing, and I'm sure not limited to, the Milwaukee area. Roundabouts. What does this look like, England? What are we trying to prove with these stupid things? Roundabouts have just provided people with new ways to be morons while driving their cars. The actual roundabouts aren't what make me mad (other than typing that word out every time). It's that no one knows what to do in them. The has been no formal training for us on this side of the big puddle as to how to use them. Most people have taken quite well, but as with any stretch of road, it only takes one idiot to make a mess out of things for the rest of us. We need to issue a public service announcement: YOU DO NOT STOP IN THE ROUNDABOUT!!! While in the roundabout, you have the constant and unwaivering right-of-way. Drive. Should you stop in the roundabout, please be aware that you probably will be recieving dirty looks, horns, middle fingers, and quite possibly even spit, from all the other drivers that you have just completely messed up in the flow of traffic. This also goes the other way to. The yield signs are on the outside of the roundabout. DO NOT just drive into the roundabout without looking and allowing drivers in said roundabout to safely pass by. If you just fly through and hit my truck, you'll be sorry when your car is demolished. If you just fly through and hit my car, you'll be sorry when I get out and your face is demolished. Thank you and have a nice day.

I get really T'ed when folks slam the passenger door. I closes like it is on needle rollers. Yet people feel they must give it a Jessey Ventura body slam.

Yeah, my doors on my truck need a Jesse Ventura body slam to shut. Especially the drivers door. My Ramcharger doors you can open and close with your pinky though, I want to get my diesel's doors to do that.



I can see where you're coming from though. If someone slammed my Challenger's door like that they'd probably be banned. What people do in that car that pisses me off, is its a coupe, so there's no frame around the windows, and people like to open and close it by the window. AHHHH. I can feel my hair stand on end just thinking about it.

ALSO, gotta love the guys who ride with you, who have this compulsion to cross their legs with their foot up on their knee, dragging the sole of their dirty shoe or boot all over your pristine dashboard...



OR, those who "help" you load heavy and potentially damaging cargo into the bed area - and carelessly SLIIIIIIIIDE the stuff over your pristine bed rails - deeply scratching/gouging them - and/or, throw stuff into the bed from 10 feet away, totally oblivious to the dents, scrapes and dings they are causing.



Yeah - they act so shocked when you say anything about their carelessness and thoughtlessness - and exclaim "it's JUST a truck... . "



NO, it's NOT "Just a truck" - it's MY truck - and I take better care of it than YOU do YOUR car - and it probably cost more and is WORTH more than your car, too! #@$%!
