The truck is more of the DD out of those two as the bike hardly ever gets ridden on the road. So little that I actually don't have tags on it right now. Although we also have a 1994 Chevy Caprice Classic, 1996 Honda Accord, and a 2006 Honda Accord V6 6speed. So they all kind of get driven some I'd say the Accords are maybe a little more of the DD's. I don't know I might drive the truck more. Hard to say which one is the DD haha as they all get driven.

 

haha. well the only thing wrong with driving a ram is the bush effect on gas prices. i tell ya, since i've been working on my ram, researching and applying the skill i've learned, i love driving my truck more than ever. Just wish I got some more hours at work to afford driving it more often, lol.

 

I know. I love the Ram and driving it. I mean it has a great stereo and just I love it. The older Honda doesn't have a bad stereo either but the other 2 cars they are stock in. I just all around love the Ram it's just expensive to drive it. I have a Hypertech on there now that's set at the premium setting so gas is around $4.20-30 or so a gallon I think last time I got some. Not 100% sure but I think it was around there and at 12-13mpg it gets expensive. Especially when I can drive the 06 Accord which is a ton faster and has a lot more power and get 30-35mpg. It seems to get low 30's if I drive it normal some and hard some and I've seen 35mpg if I drive it just normal. If you drive it hard a lot it can go into the 20's but that seems fairly rare. For the most part it gets low to mid 30's. Mid 30's if you can drive it normal but it's hard to do when you can hit the gas hard at 40mph without the clutch and have it spin the tires. It's just soo much fun that it's hard to drive it slow. Anyway the fact that it gets such better gas mileage makes it a lot better to drive. It just doesn't have that nice of a stereo or tint or an exhaust or anything. It handles a lot better and is a lot faster and the manual is for sure more fun than the auto so all in all it's pretty fun too I just find myself driving my truck more.

 

The truck is more useful in various situations. But I think I may end up with a 4-banger from Toyota or Honda, if I don't get a bike with a big enough motor for the same or lesser price. I don't know all that much about bikes either, but I learn fairly quickly.

My buddy mech neighbor guy, has about 5 geo metros he keeps around, for parts and all, drives 2 of them. he'll get up t 50 mpg and says the thing will go as fast as you want it to go. He use to be a muscle car guy, so it's kinda funny, yet shows how smart he is mechanically.

 

cereal your my hero. i noticed it too look at my F*ckin signature i have a 3' body lift apaarently. its so small that i just put washers in between my frame n body lol. i hate it, and i think they are taking over

 

Thanks for the measurments. I'll get out there tomorrow and compare. I think I will snap some photos of the suspension while i'm out there too. Would have done it today but it rained all day.

 

How come all your threads quit working?

 

What do you mean? It's working now? I did in the past have problems posting to mine though.

 

Did you take measurements of yours?

 

No. I'm going to do it tomorrow cause i'm dying to know. I've been busy with work the last couple days and it seems like everyplace I park is a mound, or in dirt, or it's totally uneven. I'll snap some pictures of the suspension while i'm at it.
