Here's what we need to lighten things up.
We need a photo of my yellow truck. Everyone always seems to enjoy seeing it so much. Gets 29-32 MPG on the highway which ain't bad for a sporty mid-size truck that drives like a sports car.
Well, it still rides like a truck. [:p]

do you get mistaken for your local DPW/DOT in that?[:o)] 0 -
Frank, I like that truck. Sandy said I could get a new one a few months back, little does she know I started looking as soon as she said so.[}:)]
The best picture you ever posted of that truck was when it was loaded with Christmas bicycles for the less fortunate children. You're a good man. Period!0 -
No fair, I can't see pictures on this computer![:(!]
How's that for keeping it light?[^][8D]0 -
I don't have a yellow truck but I have a yellow bike in the back of my truck[:D]
All bought and paidfor with my 8th grade higher education[:)]0 -
Put some guns on the hood. People like it when I do that... 0 -
I like light, Bud Light. Don 0 -

Dodge owner, eh?
My Dakota gets 12-14 mpg.
That's 12 city, 14 Highway.
Still, I'm not smart enough to stop loving that little oinker.
Speaking of loving the little pig; Hey, Saxon...nice truck.0 -
My Avalanche seems to get 15MPG no matter the driving conditions.
I love it,.....so I pay the price.0 -

Yeah...but that little yellow "truck wannabe" couldn't do half of what my truck can do...guess it's a trade off. The newer Dodges are getting 20-22 MPG...and still have the balls and brute to get the job done.0 -
Want to see what I drove in high school?
A 1962 Dodge Polara with a fairly radical 440 and a full-manual shift Torqueflite tranny with a 4.56 gear ratio in back. Stripped off all unnecessary stuff to reduce weight (no cracks about the driver, now) and installed a roll bar. Also fitted it with disc brakes off a wrecked Charger. You could hear this thing coming from 3 blocks away.
Ugly body style but it sure was fast.0 -

What is it about Dodge?
The Dakota is the truck I curse the most and love the best. Must be the low, throaty rumble of that small-block V-8 (4.7)
And the fact that it's 4-door.0 -
Had an old hot rod ford that the neighbor (3/8 of a mile away) said would wake him up every time I cranked it up.[:D] When dad heard this he made me cap the headers![V] 0 -

I like the look of it.
Of course, I like things like fins, wings and chrome.0 -

Bing-freakin-GO!
A Chevy 4-door with 2WD was about $5,000 more
Nissan? Nah.
Toyota? Sure , if you wanted one with a quarter-million miles on it.
My Dakota had 30K miles and was the only thing in my price range. We HAD to have 4 doors for the new baby, you see.0 -
I want to see a pic of you in the truck 0 -
Actually, this is the one I wish I had back. Sold it the last time we moved and I have pined for it and regretted it ever since. 0 -
Yo Sax did ya get comp ins on the bus yet???[:D] 0 -
Here's my yellow Dodge - I've been getting over 16mpg! 0 -
Saxon, your Dodge reminds me of when I first went to work for WSP in 1962. They'd just started using the 62 Dodge Dart with the big hemi engine. They'd do about 140, but because they had a shorter wheelbase than the Plymouth Fury and other full-size cars, some of the troopers had trouble handling them.
Somewhere in my archives, I have a photo of one that impacted about 4 concrete guard posts on the passenger door. I was thankful I hadn't chosen that day for a ride-along.0 -

[8D] Had to put my shades on.
Darn Saxon that there is a bright one. [:o)]0 -
Pa- Nope. Still not economically feasible. 0 -
Nice looking truck Saxon. I had a pair of pants that color back in the 60's. I even wore them once. [:D]
Sharp looking little truck. Does that color draw attention from the law?0 -
Yup. Stopped twice in first 6 months. $176 bite from a Louisiana Parish deputy sheriff and warning from the AR state trooper. 0 -
My mother had a 70 Impala that was about that color. We called it the Mustardmobile![:D] 0 -
Bike I'm building has a little yellow in it.
