bobsled92 0 #30 January 31, 2005 I bought my wife a 2004 RAM/Hemi pickup as a Christmas gift. (4door leather seat, fully loaded/Laremie Ed.) When I met her she had a BIG Dodge duel pipes, big tires. Half the stuff she did (herself) was illegal mods. We got married, kid, and she got sick of the VAN. SHe's beautiful and looks great in a truck. no Butch about it._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doddy 0 #33 February 1, 2005 Well i live in Australia and guys here have a big problem with chicks in big cars. I drive a large landcruiser gxl (V8) one of the biggest 4x4 on our market, and men quite often yell out to me " hey got a big enough car bitch" so i YELL back " Hey got a small enough dick mate?" and that seems to fix em! go get the truck and stick it up em!

Evelyn 0 #34 February 1, 2005 Get whatever you feel comfortable with. Screw what other people think. My daughter had to have a truck cuz she thought it was cool. We offered her my 73 mustang, but no, that was an old car and she didn't want it. So we bought her a geo prism, which she promptly totalled, then we bought her an Explorer because we wanted her in something bigger, she got the bug for a truck so we sold the Explorer and bought her the truck she wanted. She thought it was a good idea at the time but now regrets it, only two people can ride in it, the back has drop down seats, but you've gotta be like 100 lbs. to fit in them. We bought her 3 cars and told her she has to buy the next one herself, so though she'd like another vehicle, she can't afford it. So what I'm saying is think it through and get what you want for the reasons you want it and not just cuz it seems cool at the time, cuz you could get stuck with something you may not want in the future.

Beverly 1 #39 February 1, 2005 Thank you thank you thank you. I have decided to get the truck. Btw, it is a double cab, 2 x4, Ranger 2.5l tdi with canopy, bull bars, tow bars front loader CD player, Air con. So I have covered the gear getting dusty, wet issue and the passenger issue. Plus I can blast my favourite music on the long haul to the DZ. Will post pic when I get it later this week!

Hi amazon Some of us guy's would need a step ladder to get into your truck or how a boost up . On second thought forget the boost, do you carry a step stool for little peopleSaw one in the parking lot the driver had the step stool on the drivers side attached to a rope that was attached to the inside of the truck. I guess once inside the truck the driver would just haul on the rope and drive away. Hard core big truckerR.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
