Well, hopefully someone would sport some wood...

They also seemed to be the first to understand the backseat is kinda important. That extra few inches of cushion and leg room was what initially sealed the deal for me when I traded my F150 in on my first 1500 RAM.

They are as plentiful up my way as XJs and Subies. I have 2 of them myself - ‘99 1500 and ‘01 2500. Cummins-powered ones still pull a premium almost 20 years later. I see more of them than I do Ford or GM trucks of the same vintage (we don’t see many Asian trucks so won’t bother including them).

I’ve traveled by air for one trip in the last 15 years just recently. The experience leaving Portland, ME was pretty mellow being a small airport and early in the morning but still rather intimidating. Had to do all the expected stuff - take everything out and off, fill bins (but not TOO full), step into the…

No matter how it sounds, that GIF makes it looks like it’s having sexual relations with that parking lot....

Still have so much snow I can’t see out my living room windows. It was -1F (static) today with 30mph winds, and snow expected tonight, tomorrow, and into the weekend.

Ahhhh. N50s :D Damn, you don’t hear that any more! Oh, if we could only go back with what we know now :(. I passed on a 70 Challenger 440 not long after the Volare, instead getting an old Scout II to use as a winter beater with the money. Looking back, wish I had both now :D

Can I buy a vowel, cuz we need a few more nopes added.

I had the same issue with my Eagle sedan. Swapped in the mechanical shifter and linkage (with modifications) from an XJ. While we were at it, we put in the 5sp from the XJ in to replace the 4 sp that had bad syncros. Beast was unstoppable. Unfortunately iron oxide was more unstoppable :(

Add my vote for COTD.

You did see he is in NH, right? Will fit right in...

There’s only two answers (btw, both have a list price of ~$15k at a Seacoast NH dealer):

Very well said. Thank you.

:)
I’m trying to convert him. I know, an exercise in frustration but one must have a goal, no matter how lofty.

Emails...

This I would LOVE to see. I wish I could give you more stars.

“I stepped back, let the steam subside, and continued filling the radiator until it had swallowed all two gallons of our coolant reserves. I put the cap back on and tried cranking the motor. It was too hot, and wouldn’t fire.”

Wait. WHAT?
You dumped coolant into hot, NOT running engine? Amazing you didn’t get flash…

52 year old male, spouse one day younger. No violations in 5 years. $775 a year covering ‘14 Journey, ‘17 RAM 1500 in NH. If they weren’t both financed, it would drop to $324 a year if wanted just liability, or $0.00 a year if wanted to play roulette, NH doesn’t have forced insurance.

Spring of 1985 I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS396\375. Green mist with black stripes and green top. Green interior. Comp Cam, headers, 850 Holley, 2.5" duals. 4.10 gears. 33k on the clock. Looked just like this.

Agreed. Now they look as hideous as everything else that is current Honda\Toyota\Nissan instead of holy-shit-that-is-really-hideous of the past generations.
