Sweet car man. I went the same route with a little gasser but not quite as nice. But not much will beat it in a down hill coasting race.

I just got tired of paying 40-60 cents a gallon extea for fuel. Was driving me nuts.

So, I sold the 06 Dodge (only thing that I owed on) and picked up a vehicle that I felt was comparable for comfort and sportyness (just no ofroad ability) but gets better fuel mileage on cheaper fuel.

My Red truck had me spoiled, I won't lie. It got compliments almost every day and I enjoyed having something unique. So I had to get something pretty neat. In the end its just a big wad of money thrown out the window. But dang its fun doing it!!!!!!!

I drive the little 4wd Geo Tracker as my everyday driver now. Only time the big truck goes is if I got somethin special goin on that day that I need it for. Just my little jab at the oil companies for jackin the price of Diesel.
