well that's a possibility waiting for the 09's. One thing is perhaps you can answer this question. will there still be a 4.7L v8 and a six speed manual available in 09?? or perhaps a stick shift for the hemi or the new v8 diesel??? I'd hate to wait and find out I got screwed because they arn't offering the tranny I want anymore.

Yea Hammer I know what you mean by hard work. I've been working on a farm cutting tobacco since age 12. when I turned 16 I worked at a minit market till I was 18 while still on the farm. now I work at a nursery cutting pachysandra and still on the farm. the job at the nursery is great. I am piece rate so I basically start when i want. It takes me five hours to get my quota done so If i stay up late and don't wanna get up I can start at 8 be done at 1. but usually it's start at 6 be done by 11 or so. it's also nice because it's very flexible schedule. If i'm sick it's NBD if I miss a day or if something comes up it's not a big deal. even though i've only missed two days this summer and that's because I was throwin up and diahrea sick.

well it's only 1k cheaper but the tihing is that I really like to drive stick that's why I want the 4.7. IMO if you drive automatic you really have no point in getting a 4.7 because the hemi is more powerful and gets jsut as good mpg. I may just have to wait and see the 09's because if that v8 CTD comes with a stick shift i'd be first to order one but i have a feeling it will be an automatic only just like the hemi. which makes me sad.
