Default RE: What did you do to your ram today

As I've been away most of the last two months on vacation (more of a break from taking care of my parents for over a year) my truck has been parked on the side of the house under a huge live oak tree. A catch 22, either it stays in the driveway in full Florida sun every day or I get the crud on/in it from the oak tree. (Cleaning crud & sap is cheaper than a paint job).
So it just got a good bath (pressure washer), sap removal and I cleaned the leaves/debree off the bed rug. When the sun starts to set and I have some shade to work in, it'll get a real good coat of wax this evening.
Then tomorrow I get to do it all over again on my Grand Cherokee...[:@]

Way to go, man. We gotta take care of the parental units at some point. My truck's been living under a crepe myrtle most of the time since I bought the Speed 3. Man, those trees are messy! My heavy labors today were rotating the Speed's tires and painting her brake calipers. The Ram just sat in the shade and watched.

Unfortunately with the price of gas I looked at her with pride and then hopped into the car to go downtown. Sucks the freaking car gets about 3x better mileage in town beacause the truck is about 3xas fun to drive. Going campingin a couple weeksand the car ain't towing no damn trailer so there. Man I love driving the truck but I sure hate filling the F***er up.

Oh i know they're quick, i know someone that has one. however, a rabbit is quicker than you or me too. if my ol lady had a rabbit and played with it more than me, i'd eat it.

Dropped a K&N CAI into my hemi....WOW at WOT. I didn't know she would scream that much at >3K rpm...in a good way. Very impressed....first drive I found a nice increase in uphill climbing speed. Never had a CAI on any vehicle before...but this was a very easy install, can't go wrong.
