Default Getting another truck

No, I'm not replacing my baby. I just aquired a Dodge from my dad. He just bought another truck to pull his travel trailer. No he still didn't join our Chevy truck family, but he got a great deal on the truck he did get. Anyway, I now have my truck, an 02 Explorer and an 86 Dodge. This will be for work and back and finally relieve some of the 59k I have put on my truck. BTW, it was free and garage kept. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It is always nice to get a free ride, but those pre 90s dodge trucks were butt ugly. But, it should work just fine for a true "work truck". Keep a picture of your newer one, and show it to the workers at the drive through window when you head to Wendy's for a burger at lunch. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Welcome to the Goat family. My wife drives a 2000 Durango ( I still can't believe she cheated on me and bought a Dodge).

You know what they say about driving a Dodge, it's OK as long as nobody sees you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Free is good! And look at the bright side-if it is like the 86 dodge my uncle used to have it has a GM 4bbl Quadrajet carb. So it is not ALL bad!! My wife had a dodge too-a jeep liberty- but as Randy said, somebody I know saw me in it so it had to go.

I dive 75 miles round trip to work and we use it to go on trips with the travel trailer.
