Tell them that you'll pay the $200 for Nitrogen in the tires if they go for $77K. Why? Dealers love selling those fantastic extras and might just concentrate on that instead of the vehicle price. Come to think of it, that's a lot like the buyers concentrating on the monthly payment instead of...

You mean kinda like this? I had this '18 for about a year. Guess you showed up too late to see it. Of course, it only looked like that for about a month. After all, I wanted a tow vehicle not a pickup.

Okay, that's more normal. I thought you had managed to convince them to let you pay for the car with a credit card. One thing I've noticed more recently is that some dealers do pretty much the same credit check as if getting a loan, even when paying with a check. I asked one why, and...

Wow, I've never been able to pull that off. Usually it's $5K max, but once they let me pay $10K on the card. And I understand why. They lose about 3%, while I gain a few percent by putting it on the card.

I can't remember them using cars here, just pickups and SUVs. many with winches.

Huh? So what do you use to drive around and shoot prairie dogs from?

An email from my dealer about a 4Xe at $45,000 off is what made me look at what else the had on the lot (I was still in '68-'69 El Camino buying mode). Two used Durango Pursuit cars caught my attention, sending me on a chase of one of those models. Which ended up resulting in buying a highly...

Together we have two (or more) of several things. Like Ram 3500s. 'Cats, TRXs, V6 Challengers, Kubotas, Can-Ams, and JD Gators. On the surface that may not make any sense, but in real life it kinda does. Each vehicle has its purpose. For example, if I'm on the road picking up a car (most...

It's not uncommon at all for wimmin around here to have their own pickups. Heck, my girlfriend has two. And yes, the 1500 cost more than the longbed crew cab 3500 with a Cummins.

I'll rest easy then. If I can't get my annual mileage up to even 1,000/year, those plugs will last me for a while. Anyway, yes, a 5.7 was no big deal.

Not quite, but that color would look the same even on a Mustang. You reminded me of when I had written up a somewhat detailed product installation on a vehicle that happened to be white. Well, someone did ask if I could do it again, but on a blue vehicle, because that's what he had. Now I...

Oh, I forgot that on a D170 it looks more like a black with yellow polka dots.

Here you go, Holy.

Dang it. It's a different part number. Oh well, I tried.

And now you know why I prefer pintle hooks.

Guess I should check if it also fits a '23 3500. If so, I might be interested.

It doesn't with ramps that are too short.

Do you even need to use them? If the trailer is hooked up to something, that is. My little trailer has mounts for a jack on each side and they've been used once. That's because I overestimated the approach angle of a 'Cat and brought ramps that were too short. So, had to unhook the trailer and...

C'mon, 1971. You start with billet carbon fiber, then forge it.

Well, if it wasn't for the inevitable weight transfer when accelerating (or the vehicle is really front heavy) the 50/50 approach might help. As it is, there's probably a reason why 50/50 is for use in snow (if I remember the Trackhawk settings correctly). Think of it as brake bias in reverse...
