I traded my 2001 S-10 with 140K on the Odometer off on a 2005 Dodge Magnum. Yeah yeah, I know... it's a station wagon! AND a DODGE!! I know I know. But it's cool looking and has 340 HP under the hood stock. It fit's my fat ass, and long waist too. Plus it's got the balls to pull a trailer, so I won't be TOTALLY crippled without a pick up truck. I like it. I'll try to get a few pics posted. Yeah... it's got a Hemi!!  Jabba |

What are you going to use for hunting? You sure wouldn't want to take that Magnum through the mud, and the blood, and the beer!

I think your going to love it! That's what my daughter-in-law drives. My son Bailey sometimes takes it to work on some Saturdays, down some mean gravel roads that get snowed in and heavily drifted. He say's it's one BAD A$$ Drift Buster!!
Just put the pedal down and nothing will stop it!

Well, I am gonna put a trailer hitch on it so I can haul what I need to back and forth to Deer Camp. Once I am there there are 4000 trucks around, plus I have my quad to get anywhere I NEED to get to.
My wife has a 4x4 Suburban If I want to take it. And I might buy a beater truck. We'll see how it goes.

I though you had a JEEP. I am still waiting on that new jeep pickup truck since 1999's autoshow. Besides you can always invite me down to the hunting camp. I will supply the old truck and and extra set of legs to get out those southren Indiana Deer.

The guys at work accuse me of changing vehicles like I do underwear, but I don't WEAR underwear so they're full of crap! (I know TMI). I bought the crew cab S-10 in October of 2005, I I had it for 28 months. I had a 2002 Wrangler for less than a year before that. I THOUGHT I wanted a Jeep, but once I had one... it was love/hate with that thing. Things I LOVED, but I hated driving it on the highway, out of town. It just wore me out. Before that I had a Grand Cherokee for 4 years. It was OK, but I never LOVED that one either.
I really like the Magnum so far though. I am trying to keep my foot out of the throttle and making the Hemi growl... We see how I do on MPG in a week or so.

JEEP
Stand for JUST EMPTY EVERY POCKET.
The small wheel base and the larger tires make them a Bi**h to drive on the highway. I think the unlimited with the longer wheelbase might help out and that gladiator is to be built of the unlimited frame but they just don't want to roll it into production. That's ok i want the Common Rail diesel anyway so i wil just wait.
My Old jeep is still at my uncles farm. A 1976 LEVI"S CJ. Want to look at the rear shock's you don't have to get out just look in the backseat where the floor used to be. The 1970's vintage's just rust out. He uses it in the fields every once in a while but since he got a four wheeler it mainly sets in the shed.

Jerks Engineered Every Part
That works too.
One of my buddies is calling my Magnum my penis extender. I keep offering to show him I don't NEED one... but he doesn't have the stones to call my bluff.

... and the dodge magnum made the top worst vehicle of 07 1. Good thing mine is an 05. 2. Good thing I could care LESS what other people think. 3. Lot's of people like Fords too, and the ONLY Ford I have had in a decade (2005 Excursion) I hated after 7 days of ownership. I really like the Magnum so far. It's very "tight". Doors, controls, windows, steering etc, all feel real nice. I am ready for another tank of gas in it. I think it did closer to 17 or 18 MPG this tank. I made it 50-60 miles further already. I have always believed that big engines that get to loaf for most of their lives tend to last better than smaller ones that have to work closer to their potential more. I know that theory can be blown up by tales of many many Nissan/Toyota/Honda stories about 300K miles on a 4 cyl. I also HATE to hear the hamsters in those things whine when I put my foot to the floor. Jabba |
