WTF????? In November??? Doesn't this leave you without any 4WD vehicle at all this winter?(Sounds like a nice truck, tho...)
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Liz has her Blazer...and the Dak will get a set of aggressive snow tires.

Not sure that's helping the vehicle reduction plan . . .

Re: New ride!
Which motor?
I've always thought it would be cool to get one of those Dakota convertibles they were selling for a couple years. You still see them around occasionally.
The "need" for 4wd is greatly overrated. I rarely had trouble with my S-10 (4 cyl, auto), riding with good snow tires and a couple bags of rock salt in the bed.

I replaced two vehicles (F-350 & Jeep) with one. I'm down to two (from four) plus my scooter.Guinevere wrote:Not sure that's helping the vehicle reduction plan . . .

Re: New ride!
I have rarely had trouble in snow and have never owned a 4WD. My dodge dart (225) was very good in snow. Too underpowered to break out and had pretty good clearance. My PT Cruiser made it home in that 30+inches we had last year when many other cars got stuck. And the PT has real crappy ground clearance. Must be my driving. 
I found not stopping is the key.

Re: New ride!
Had to get some things fixed (bad upper ball joints!), getting it inspected today. Still need to get it to Cranston to have it blasted & undercoated.

Re: New ride!
I need a new front wheel bearing in my PT Cruiser.
Along with shocks and struts.
I think I'll wait until is really cold out to work on it.
