Default Two years later...

Two years ago to the day, I bought my Ram. It's been my first and only vehicle and I still love it. It has never left me stranded and out of all the vehicles my family has I still prefer my Ram over them all. Bought it when I was only 15 years old, and even though I've contemplated selling it when the gas prices went up, I took a long look at it today, and I can't see myself ever parting with it. It's been too good of a vehicle and too many good memories. In 2 years the only maintenance I've done has been Oil changes, Tranny fluid, Tires and Brake lines.
It got me through my high school years (well it still has 3 more weeks to go) without being totaled or the engine blowing (not that I drive it hard) so I'm taking that as a sign not to let go of this truck. It's funny when I think about it, but I'm the ONLY person at my school who's been able to keep the same vehicle for 2 years everyone else's has been hauled off on a flatbed.

I'm know alot of you guys have had your trucks way longer than I have, but for a 17 year old, two years with the same vehicle is a pretty big deal or at least it is to me. I truly can't say enough good things about this truck, It really has been in my eyes perfect.

A lot of people say Dodge's are some of the worst vehicles on the road, and none of them are worth a ****. But after my experience with mine, It might take a while to save up for it, but I will stay brand loyal and my next Daily Driver truck will be a 3rd Gen Ram with a HEMI.
Two years later, I am one happy Ram owner.

I know the feeling Mopar, I'm 16 and have had mine since June 11, 2010.
I've had to put over $800 into it in the span of 7 months without driving it. But I don't regret it.
I wanted to get it paid off and everything fixed before I started driving it. I decided I wasn't ready for the road at the time...I didn't want to see my baby on a flat bed. I've seen my sisters Ram on a flatbed, it made me sad.

I hope you will get many more miles out of your Ram as I do mine.
