I like the conversation supposedly overheard at FCA in Italy: “What’re the Americans doing at Dodge this week?” “They’re putting a 2.7 litre supercharger on the engine and building a supercar.” “I think you heard them wrong. Surely they said ‘we’re putting a supercharged 2.7 in a car’, right?” Dodge engineer says ‘um, yeah, that’s what we said...’ Patrick
That ^^ is a sweet manly looking truck that I would drive the snot out of regardless of needing a tow truck every 5,000 miles due to the blue oval curse
It’s a shame so many of you are so insecure with your manliness that you need a truck with big letters or a manufacturers logo in uppercase to make up for your shortcomings
If most of the dealers opposed this "change" - could it be stopped? The new logo is terrible - and portrays weakness. Really detest logos being changed, for the sake of change. Some examples can think of is the Miami Dolphins dolphin helmet logo, the Village Inn restaurant sign neutering, and the old popular hot roddng magazine cover title font design change. About the same time found the magazine to be no longer worthwhile, and ended subscription anyway. Regardless, logo change or not, am not a buyer. Too d$%n expensive for ever cheaper plastic components. Bought one new truck from them- a stripper '07 base five speed V-6. Last of the light duty manual shifts. Under $14K. The next year, the Judge Dredd styling took over, and the costs started to spiral upwards to the obscene levels of today. New trucks today - with the usual 4 x 4, the crew cab, and the bells and whistles are in the 50K plus range. More or less about what a run down trailer on an acre of land, slightly north of here can still be had for. I'll buy the land, for investment, instead of the new truck. Fixing up a '76 square body, instead.
This story seems appropriate here since so many are resistant to change, even change that in no way affects them in the least. All through history every time there is change the weak resist. In the same field stand both a mighty oak tree and a willow tree. The willow tree envies the power and strength that the oak tree possesses. One day a storm, with whipping winds and torrential rain, makes its way through the field. After the storm passes, the willow tree notices that the oak tree has fallen over in the storm. In a state of confusion, she asks the farmer what happened to the oak tree. The farmer tells the willow tree that although the oak was mighty and solid, it was also rigid and inflexible and when the winds were too much for it to resist, the oak tree collapsed under the pressure. The willow thought about herself for a minute. She realized that her ability to survive the storm was due to her flexibility and adaptability as she was able to bend with the wind to weather the storm.
Let's see a picture of the Chevy POS trucks after 25 years of running...My 95 7.3 dually Only some clear coat fade.160,000 trouble free miles..I owned 1 Chevy truck...My LAST one..total piece of garbage..
We all know the real ending to that story right, it goes something like this. As the willow tree looked around to see where the mighty oak went she sees the farmer and asks what happened to the mighty oak tree? The farmer looks up at the willow tree with one foot on the oak stump and his hands on his chain saw and replies you're next b***h. THE END, nighty night
I was gonna say the rigid inflexible brick house was the only one of the three little piggies houses that survived the wolf huffing and puffing
The Oak may have fallen in the dark storm, but I will continue to believe that it was tree to stand with. For the Oak is true and just. Anyone that sides with the willow is just a sap, for the willow is a creature of the swamp.
