Also, wouldnt your sponsors be mad if you changed your plans?
well considering I don't have the motor yet and everything is not all set in stone yet. I'm still just saying what Ideas i have...Never said anything set in Stone as of yet. And honestly
if ur making 70K a year why not buy something thats worth having? audi, BMW, RAM 2500 with a cummings diesel? sounds like you dont know what you want to do!
I'm not that into driving "look at me i've got money" cars...i've always seen those people driving brand new BMWS or Mercedes as Rich ****** wanting to show off how much money they got. And i'm not like those kinda guys.

But now i'm thinking of 6.1L Motor the SRT motor in the Charger and Magnum and doing Twin Turbo...and look for around 700 horse at the wheels, its all still in planning...cause honestly I could just go buy a charger and do the damn thing if I wanted but i wanna do something to this dakota that'll make people say God Damn or WOW you know..thats they way i've always been...just like my 89 Bronco with the Dodge 4cyl Diesel turbo motor in it...now that thing was a beast. but yeah nothing has been set in stone yet...and i've never said anthing has been set in stone. just tellin yall what i'm thinking about doin!

I doubt as a "service manager" he's making 70k.....

But if he does, I now know why Chrysler is going out of business.

Virginia isn't quite as bad as NJ but I wouldn't have a hard time believing 70K here. I know a 'tech' at a Goodyear store that is brining down 65K a year with OT, and their rates are nowhere near as high as the dealership.

I said I have a motor but its one that was removed because a dumbass thought it would be funny to crank up the boost to about 40 and see if it could run..oh yeah it ran alright...straight into the ground...but yeah in VA man i'm making 70K a year. some are making 80-100K a year. cause you gotta remember my pay in Commission based not SALARY. so the more money the Dealership makes the More money I'm making!!!
