I was looking at Dodge trucks the other day… almost all those packages look beat. The Daytona, Super Bee etc. suck. The Hemi Express was “okay” at best. I do however like the regular cab short bed w/ the Sport Apperance Group (just body colored everything, no wings/stickers/wheat). I’m looking at one w/ the Hemi, SLT package, tow package, twankies etc. for $21k (about 11k off from the employee discount and model year close-out rebates). IBTHATTHINGGOTAHEMI -TJ ---

The Hemi will tow my car on an open trailer no problem. W/ the cylinder deactivation and all it gets Diesel like mileage, at least when not towing. And even primium is cheaper than Diesel out here. Plus no RCSB Dizzy. I like the RCSB the best. -TJ ---

The sticker may say so, but in the real world, you’re looking at 10-14mpg MAX for a hemi. a diesel will last longer, get much better mileage, and add tons to resale. If you can swing the extra $$$ up front, a diesel is the only way to go ---

After racing my buddy’s 05 STI one night in June we stopped to bullshit in a parking lot…one of those trucks drove by revving like mad and giving us the evil eye. At the time it really pissed me off. ---

Next random story: Saw a Dakota R/T at Raceway Park one night with MTs on the back. He had loud exhaust, and I figured if he’s running ET streets he must be quick. I was looking forward to seeing him run. When he staged, he did a LONG smoky brake stand burnout. At this point I was expecting a 12 second truck…I watched the dude make a couple of mid-high 15 passes. I was pretty disappointed. ---
