to poor to afford a new car?

Uh, no? Why would I want a new car? Have you seen the latest crash tests? They're shit. I own a '78 Internation Scout II and a '79 Chevy Silverado Scottsdale that I use for mudding. Why would I be jealous of someone since they earned that money to all of that? I'm perfectly fine with my 4 beat up, rusted, broke down vehicles. I also own an '86 Mercury Capri GS (RS Conversion) as my project car. Yeah, they're older, but they still run good (other than my piece of shit Grand Am).

its hott but that 2wd is killing me.

what do you have to drive down to warrant a 6in lift?

how much has it killed your gas mileage?

im gunna be doing alot of towing from now on..my dakota can do it i wanna keep it easy on it..especially towing out into the woods with my 4wheelers..i dont wanna leave my fully loaded nice truck out in the middle of nowhere with a $1200 sound system with no one watching it..so im thinkin about buying a 94 regular cab ram 4x4 with the 5.9 and throw 8 inches under it with 38 cut boggers.

well it was either buy a 3" body lift for $450 or pay $800 which is $600 under retail for the fabtech lift i got. id rather have a suspension lift anyways, so i went ahead and spent the extra cash. im back in the woods about 3 miles from the nearest highway. only one road in and one road out. there isnt anyone around me except for my grandparents up the road.

dodge 4x4's come with a 3" lift...like my first truck, a '96 ram 4x4...fit 35's with ease.

i like goin out playin with my stock 4wd dakota..

it looks better when i pass these guys with $40k 2wd trucks with 8 and 10inch lifts for show..they look mighty funny lifted with huge mudtires with the back axel buried and the front on solid ground and they cant move //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

they don't come with a "lift", they just have a taller stock suspensions. even 2500/3500s are taller than the 1500s.

i was just teasin him anyways.
