Brother from another mother haha...or separated at birth maybe lolAre you my brother?
While it's hard not to love a 60's and older car, few 70's vehicles do it for me like a boat tail Riv! Especially the earlier, small bumper versions. Those things are pure sex, I tell ya!
Hold on a tick, you mean to tell me...you owned a Dodge...and didn't have BroDozer wheels, mirrors, and a rolling coal sticker???
Before we had our daughter I had a BRZ. Like the miata it is an awesome under powered car that can be thrown into any corner.
It's definitely a fad now, at least around here. I see so many ads from people wanting to trade their vehicles for a diesel, yet most of these knuckleheads have no clue why they "need" a diesel truck. They only want them to make them as loud as possible and to make a big puff of black smoke. It's kind of like the dumbasses that only lift the front and remove every piece of the exhaust on their gas trucks, make a bunch of noise but have no back pressure to get the truck moving. I want to go back to the days where you had a truck because you had work to do.I did have a "Rolling Smoke Diesel" Sticker inside my toolbox, though that was the name of the company where I got my delete kit
Diesel owners nowadays sure do like their trucks, maybe its an age thing? Most of what I see today are the flipped up mirrors, 10" exhaust tips or stacks, and louder than shit running between red lights.
The DPF (not DEF) was a mistake on dodges end. That thing choked back so much potential on the early 4th gen rams. Once it was removed it was a whole different truck. I went from averaging 12mpgs up to 19 just by removing that and running a low economy tune. I started playing with transmission line pressures, different tunes and timing stages, I could easily hit 20 mpgs with 285/75R17s empty and on cruise, and you could never tell it was shifting gears, very very smooth. It blew very little black smoke at wide open throttle too. I liked it cause it appeared stock, but did everything I asked it too. When I sold that truck it was devastating, I only hope the kid I sold it too has taken care of it
This was a 450 mile trip from Denver to Northern Wyoming. Cruise set at 75 and an empty bed.

Had a CJ2A - damn I wish I still had that Jeep it was a Mountain Goat!
Very nice...59 Apache, Classic designed truck...it was on my list ( very, very long list ) haha
yeah we are zeroing in on the crosstrek for my son...unfortunately to get the blind spot monitoring in the side mirrors is pushing msrp over 26K....a little more than I was going to spend on my 19 year old. But figure he will probably get 10 years at least out of it.
