I dunno, man, that string trimmer is an abomination if ever there was one. It's not a Stihl!

The trimmer/weedwhacker was free, otherwise I would not have something like it.

So far, 14 mpg in town (and that's with a battery replacement, so hoping to get better later). On the interstate doing 80mph, I got a little over 16. On a state highway doing 70, I got a little over 19.

I miss the hell out of my garage(s) from the house I had in Georgia.

Two car garage built into the house, plus a garage built off away from the house. The separate garage also put up a tin roof extended 20' behind the back wall where I had dual sinks (fish cleaning) and enough room for the bass boat there under the "car port" without having to use any of the garage space for it.

Damn I miss that house!!!

My garage could be a bit messy at times, but I kept my shed pretty well organized - it was where I went to "tinker" when the ex-wife was on the war path...

You know dodge(oops I mean RAM) is about to kill the Dakota right? I read an article somewhere and the lead designer said that the v8 Dakota is just stealing buyers from the new ram trucks

From what I have been reading, supposedly, production of the Dakota stopped in august last year? Is that not the case? Or was that just at the Warren plant, and they are still building them elsewhere? (mexico, for instance.....)

2011 was the last model year for the Dakota.

I bought it regardless because they are cheaper (used) than any Rams up here (and if I was going to get a Ram, it would have to have the HEMI), and I didn't need the size. This size is much more convenient for me. The difference between an equally equipped Ram (used) with the 4.7 and a Ram with the 5.7 up here is almost always at least $3000. (Ridiculous, I know. Midwest truck prices are ridiculous.)

I could have bought a 2009 Ram for the same money I spent on this 2010 Dakota... but it would have been a little more base trim, around 50k miles (instead of just below 15k on the Dakota), and had the same 4.7L V8 in a heavier, larger truck (which I didn't want). Just a matter of personal preference.
