I took the Taurus SHO in to get the dents fixed, and this is the rental they gave me.
Ask me anything.
BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

How many 4x8 sheets of plywood are you planning to haul?
And damn, I miss my ‘97 SHO.

Is the RAM badge on the tailgate big enough for you?! Maybe it’s optional, but I saw one the other day and literally laughed out loud. It may as well say MARKETING

I haven't looked at the back of it, but I dont think that it has that tacky exercise in styling.

Let’s take it out somewhere and throw an air mattress in the back and... look at the stars. Yup. Definitely that.

Is that fact that you “like big bores” and that you “cannot lie” mutually exclusive?

And I’m holdin’ the keys to a brand new
Chevrolet
Derge
Have you been outside, it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake?
There’s a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires.

I think this generation of Chevy truck is the best looking of all time. But the Chevrolet emblazoned across the back isn’t done in chrome. And I even more so prefer the stripper trucks that didn’t have the surround, just a vinyl lettering package across the tailgate. Chrome belongs on the front and rear bumpers, the trim ring on the wheels and the brake master cylinder top only, all others remove the purpose of having a “truck”

It does have a surprising amount of replay value. Also, Jennifer Tilly is a smoke show.

And maybe drag a boat around, or a trailer with a project car on it. You know, pick up things!

I think it’s because RAM is too short of a word, so to stretch it out each letter has to be big. If it were DODGE, the letters wouldn’t have to be as big and it would look much better. At least that’s my theory. Even most of the GMC ones look funny to me.

What’s the comfort level of the back seat? Doesn’t look like much room in there, but hey, it’s warming up, the bed is big enough!

I’m sincerely glad we can agree on that.
There is no reason a pickup shouldn’t have a column shift.

Lift kits

‘Make America Great Again’
Do any of these thoughts or others like them seep into your head while driving this truck?

Only car I’ve driven so far that I like the dial shifter in, is the Durango. It’s right near the armrest where your hard usually already is

No, this is a rental spec 4x4. but if you have questions about the air spring set up, I know a thing or two about it... because of reasons.

Mostly the thing that pops into my head is “This thing gets better mileage than more Taurus” “Was that a Pothole or a Miata I didn’t see” and “Whoaaa there” as I get it sideways for no apparent reason other than there is no weight over the rear axle.

Is it the Big Horn model? You can pull some quality burnouts in those. My brother and I rented one of them to take to Watkins Glen last year. It served us very well.

It’s not bad, I suppose I’m not a “truck person” but my biggest issue is that the transmission calibration is awful. That’s what would keep me from buying one.

How did you like the knob for the shifter? BTW also not a truck person but it would be great to have something reliable and durable that can tow miatas.

You can tow a Miata with a Roadmaster.
I hate the shift dial, its stupid and it doesn’t inspire confidence.
