Yup Dakota I think it is a requirement, But moreso I think it just naturally happens as testosterone levels actually decrease significantly when driving one!

A guy in Bowman has started up sales with a mini truck 4x4 -- a Suzuki with a 3 cylinder engine that you would find in the GEO Metro. It is a cab over design. I got in one today and gave it a test drive. My size size 16's don't work well in a cab designed for size 3's. My knees were hard against the dash. I think I will pass on this one. Supposed to get 50 mpg on the road and 40 in town or so he says. The steering wheel is on the right side and everything is in metric. Top end is about 65 mph. (?)

Today's the day. I hop aboard a train for the Twin Cities. I am buying my first new pickup since 1978. This one though is bare bones. I will be gone until probably Wednesday or Thursday. compare - a 2006 fully loaded pushed by Chev for quick sales with rebates $44,000+ bare bones 2007 w.o. options $12,000

Best gas mileage and 100,000 mile warranty (new with 2007's). Also the price was right. Cheaper than anywhere else I looked. I looked in Nebraska, SD, ND, WY, and MT on the WEB and visited many dealers. I got the price lower than a used 2005 with 30,000 miles on it and the same no options as what I am buying at a dealer in Bismarck. But I have had as many Ford's as Chevy's and I have also had Dodge and Jeep so I am not predjudiced. It will be nice to have a vehicle that has a heater again. A couple of years ago when I was in Northern Montana a heater would have been real nice.

That 100,000 mile warranty is a great deal, Dakota.
I'm sure you're going to be real happy with the new truck.
