Get the Jeep SRT 8. AWD four doors 425 horse and if you look around enough you can get them for 20 grand. Also a lot better handling then the SS Trailblazer.

Go SS trail blazer. You can mod the hell out of that LS based motor for cheap unlike this anti tuning chrysler/dodge/jeep bull****.

I hope you've never been one to complain about mpg's in your Ram, cause it'll only be worse in the SS, and especially with the SRT......

Personal opinion, the Jeep is just pure sex on wheels. If you're looking for a 4-dr car, that Legacy GT is the ticket. I was just telling the wife about them the other day, then poof, theres a pic on here, lol. About $1k in mods and the Subbie is a 13sec sleeper All in what you're looking for partner. I don't have any personal qualm with the SS, I just think the Jeep is waaaaay sexier

Alot of opinons, Thanks guys. Well here in New Mexico i havent found any Legacys for sale from anyone. And the only SS i found here is an hour away. ANd havent searched for any Jeeps. My girl is into this Cadillac CTS but its a 2.6L i think. She likes it becasue it is black abd has rims.

I like the red CTS-V i found with a 6 speed manual. Its awesome with the 5.7. But she no like the color. Anyway to burn her guys.

Either the SS or the CTS-V. Both under 20Grand

Okay guys here is the update on my new ride. I decided to go SS put 1000 down just to hold it for me. That thing has so much power it makes my ram seem like a Pt Crusier. That SS puts you down in ur seat. Now that just means i have to make my truck faster because my chick cant have a faster vehicle than i have lol.

Still waiting on my banks decision for my loan. They wanted to charge me 800 dollars a month for 72 months. I was like your freakin retarded. I got my truck with 9000 miles for 21999 at 460 a month for 74 months. My intrests is a 4.9 percnet. I told them i am leaving and going to another dealer. They told me dont go. By the time i left we were down to 400 a month for 72 but my intrest would be at 16 percent.. I told them to call me when they get my a price range at 340 to 380 a month. Then i left. 5 min after i left they called me we have that deal for you. They gave me 5000 for make car as a trade in and 7000 for my chicks pt crusier which we owed 11000 still on it. And its under my name aswell. Anyways when they called me i said no deal ill just get financed with my own bank. LOL they were mad. But they called me the following day like 5 times. So as far as i am concerned i have them where i want them. They went down from 22000 for the SS to 19999, then down to 16500 because i told them thats all they would finance me for and i said take it or leave it. Tey took it and now i am just waiting on my bank to see what they say. All in all i should be driving it within the week and ill take pics with it next to my truck. If the bank gives me a good rate and the loan.

Its a really nice Vehicle and the engine on it is big.

And thats my story sorry for it so long...

Man, when you get the fever, you really get the fever. I would have bought something shiny for my truck and been done with it. If it is really a bad winter maybe a "supercharger" kit would carry me through.
Enjoy your new ride
