I was really good this past year so I decided to treat myself (with wife's blessing of course)to a more modern toter for my trucks.

It is a 2011 Ram 2500 Mega Cab. 6.7 High Output Cummins. Very impressed with its handling characteristics...

May have to go to the doctor today to see if the perpetural smile I've had since Saturday causes any long term health issues.

A bit off topic but I ordinarily would have bought any new Chrysler product from my uncle who has a small town dealership about 30 miles from me. Unfortunately, after 60+ years with CHrysler, he was adversely affected by the dealer purge that took place a couple years ago.

So in an effort to support our local economy, I went to one of the two remaining Dodge, I mean Ram, dealers in our county to try and procure a new truck. They had exactly what I was looking for.

We arrived at the dealership at 5:40 pm
(they close at 6:00 pm) two weeks ago and we are greeted by their sales manager. I immediately said basically I know you close in 20 minutes but I 'd like to run the Ram Mega cab you have down the street and back quick and if we can cut to the chase on the price, I could pick it up the next day.

They wouldn't do it. They said it was too close to their closing time for test drives and that I'd have to schedule an "appointment" later in the week if I wanted to drive it...seriously??

So, I went online and found another truck and drove 175 miles Saturday to pick it up.
SO much for trying to help the locals...
