It sucks that I'm bailing but you can only take so much crap from a vehicle. In any case I haven't left the fold as it were and I'm sure I'll be checking out the Dakota side from time to time.

Not to add fuel to the fire but have any of you driven the Charger RT? Damn that thing's fun! 370HP and 395 ftlbs of torque... just saying...

I've had two "sports cars" in my life, wrecked them both. I'm a full size 4x4 and/or Jeep owner for life. A man's got to know his limitations... Seven full size 4x4s, two Wranglers, a Dodge Raider (Mitsubishi Montero) and four Grand Cherokees (if you include the ex wife's three daily drivers), never put more than a little off-road "boo-boo" in any of them...

I am here till the she stops rolling. Cannot afford to replace her. Plus after all the headaches that I have had with my truck, and doing all the work myself, I feel it makes me a better DIY mechanic in the long run. No vehicle is gonna be problem free and come with a forever bumper to bumper. Now that the only OEM part in the front suspension is the lower control arms, she has not been an issue, and handles great.

Sorry, can't agree. Normally I'd say there are only two colors a sports car should come in and that's Red & Black. But if it has a Hemi in it, you gotta add "Hemi Orange"...
