Finally got a new truck!

[brimic]

Being here in Texas reinforces it.  Chevys and Fords are usually stock.  Dodges, though, get big truck nutz, smoke stacks, and are driven by hicks who do 70 in a 45 and cut everyone off waving a middle finger, natural light, with their mullet flopping around.

Its the same up here. Stereotypes get started for a reason.
Yesterday, I saw a dodge broken down on the side of the freeway holding up traffic. It had smoke stacks, a light bar, and two bumperstickers on the back window(of course): "Loud Pipes Save Lives" and "I Still miss my ex-wife, but my aim is getting better"
Wish I would have taken a picture.

Ok guys, this is my first full day as a Dodge owner. 

I went to the local bar this morning and had a tall Pabst Blue Ribbon draft for breakfast. 

Then I headed to Pep Boys for some white trash accessories.  They had no NASCAR stickers or anything!  I did find a hitch-mounted bottle opener, but then realized for $25 I can buy a LOT of Natural Light, and it comes in cans anyway!

I did have one other Dodge owner try to race me at a light, but he don't got no Hemi.  He must be gay.

Anyway here is my first Dodge accessory.  Please tell me I don't actually have to drink it.

I've heard that NL is great for cleaning road grime & paint from your rims...


Not to be outdone by the Dodge-e-Boyz, I have a few ideas planned for my F150....just little stuff like a spray-on bedliner in a light color (black surfaces and Texas summers just don't mix) and a couple of side-mounted toolboxes. I'm even thinking of getting one of those 1-million-candlepower, 360*, remote-controlled spotlights installed on the cab. Any suggestions on a good brand?

Heh.  I can see your reflection in the grille.  Errr... I assume it's you.  But it appears you have a uterus.

Them's fightin' words!  As soon as I trim up my mullet, finish watching Jerry Springer, and put on my sleeveless Nascar T-shirt, I'm headin' over to yer trailer park so you best be ready!

You forgot to make out with your own sister.

I didn't forget, it's just that I don't have one.

[Angel Eyes]

A cousin will do.

[grislyatoms]

Nice!

Ok, I want a Dodge now too.

Nice truck and an awesome color!  Though it's only a 1500.

Thanks!  They call it Mango Tango Pearl coat, 2010 is the only year they did this color.  

I went back and forth between a half ton and a three quarter ton.  I couldn't see the advantage, or the loss of fuel economy.  

The only truck I have ever owned that was almost as nice as this was my '02 Chevy Avalanche.  But this one edges it out in several areas.

I need a 3/4 ton.  Even if I didn't, the monster brakes alone are worth the premium.

Funny thing is, none of that was fabricated.  Except I don't know if the other Dodge driver was gay.

Well, you did say he aint got no hemi, right??

[Declaration Day]

Yes I did!  He must be gay!

[seeker_two]

A underage cousin will do.

...as well as changing your first name to Jerry Lee....

Nice truck.  A couple of guys I work with bought Rams this year also - one is like yours, the other has a Cummins Diesel.  I'm kinda kicking myself now for letting my wife direct me toward a smaller truck - I ended up with a Nissan Frontier.

Smaller trucks have their place, depending on your needs.  I suspect that the reason smaller trucks are such a niche market is that, for a few thousand dollars more, you can get twice the truck.

With Dodge, the mid-size Dakota starts at $23,110 and the Full-size Ram starts at $20,810.

Agreed....while I loved my Frontier, I was amazed at how much more truck I got with my F150 for less money....and I actually got better gas mileage from the F150 than the Frontier....

[Lee]

You're right about that -the frontier gets worse mileage than my buddy's Hemi Ram.  My wife and I operate under the theory that one of us will likely end up driving the other's vehicle at some point.  She is 5' tall and thinks anything bigger than a Camry is "monsterous". Oh well...I'm pretty happy with it -it is a truck at least.

Don't forget the chrome skulls with red light-up eyes on teh hitch or license plate.

Yes, you must.  And there needs to be at least two six packs of crushed empties rattling around in the bed else you're a poser.

[Nick1911]

Yea, but they have to signal with one of the lamps - so when you accidentally bump your turn-signal when you spill your beer (that's the only time you should be using turn signals), the light blinks on and off.  if it's not mis-wired, you're not doing it right.

Its the same up here. Stereotypes get started for a reason.

That crowd used to drive Ford's until Dodge redesigned the Ram and offered the Cummins diesle in 1994.  The migration was completed in 1997 when Ford redesigned the F150.
