Today is the first day I have really been able to get around since being rear ended on the 28th at a stop light by a woman going 60. That old Ford had a good run at 165,000 miles and I had just put new tires on it. Oh well. Of course she didn't have any insurance. She totaled my truck, her truck, the corolla in front of me and damaged the Navigator in front of the corolla. 6 weeks from now I should have a brand new shiny Dodge long wheelbase. All for a mere $31,000 ;)

Geeze Mont-- nice vehicle.... but there has to be a better way to get one!!! That sort of impact will knock the Dr. Pepper out of the drink holder:(

The only other thing she didn't have was her green card:D

Mont - I remember you had Dodge trucks for a long time and then switched over to Ford. I'd be curious as to your reasons for the switch back to Dodge, as I'm in the market for a truck soon and was thinking Nissan vs. Ford vs. Chevy. I do see they are giving great deals on Dodge right now.

Nissan????? Didn't Al Gore (your Idol) invent the Nissan?

We have had a Dodge Quad 4 x 4 since 99. Great vehicle.

Duff, I have close to 60 dodges in the company fleet right now. Retail on that new one is 37K. I got it for 31K. We have all the lifts and tools and such to do maintenance in house for Dodges now. That 5.7 Hemi has proven to be a good workhorse around here, so I switched back this time.

Could'a been worse. The boat and trailer could have been in tow as well :eek:

Glad you came out of it without serious injury.
