I had hinted at it before that part of me wanted to look at a Ram Express for my next truck. Well this week I scored a SLT trim Ram from National and I've only driven it from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to dinner and back and it has killed any chance of my darkening the doorway of a Ram dealership. The SLT has essentially the same interior as the Express and I'm not impressed. Here's to hoping by the beginning of next year GM has their act together and has worked out the bugs from the K2s cause the Fords look too ugly so GM seems to be the only option. I'm glad though. I'd have to go and become a big deal on a Ram site and work my way up to god there. Oops, I mead mod.

I *think* you can get some interior options on the Black Express you can't ordinarily get on lower trims. Not entirely sure, but I know what you mean, I was doing a build it on ram.com and there were a few I would really want you just can't get.

 

Besides, what specially put you off to it? I haven't driven one. I try to stay away from dealers right now. The new car bug is after me.

Good thing you have that GTI I guess. One of the guys from another truck club I was part of was stationed in Germany and he brought his Cummins Ram. Expensive and probably tough to drive in the cities there!

If it came to it, it would be expensive but I'll stick to on base gas as much as possible lol.

The Black Express is just exterior stuff. On this truck and Express ones I'm just not impressed with the interior. The truck is strong off the line but I'm also not impressed by the responsiveness when downshifting on the highway.

This is the 3rd strike

 

1st time few yrs ago she put the mower through the fence. Last yr she scalped my lawn (dropped the deck all the way down). This yr she ran over the tow strap (that's in the air). I have it around my tree to a concrete eye bolt to keep the wind from bending it. Not sure how she did it

 

Starting some suspension mods in the car

Sounds like she is doing it on purpose. I think my wife loads the diawasher poorly on purpose(really, how make you make 3 bowls and cups take up the entire top rack?). that way, if she does it wrong enough, you will do it for her

 

And for the Camaro, cool. Make sure you drive it for the first time before then so you know if the new stuff makes a difference

How does the Camaro handle stock? Closest thing I've ridden in was an 04 LeMans Z06, and the more gas you gave it in a turn the better it seemed to grip...

A lot is dependent on weather (temperature). Colder weather the tires like to not have much grip (summer rated tires). Overall it handles really good. I love going through all the roundabouts we have here in town .

I'm debating between a 4th & 5th gen Camaro, GTO, and a G8 when I buy. 5th gen Camaro compared to a 4th gen would be awesome because of the IRS, but it's ultimately going to come down to price.

80's Porsche FTW

Not my cup of tea.

Swapped out my black looking speaker rings for some silver ones on the Cruze to break up all the black on the doors.

You can find one for cheap and have a faster car for 1/3 the price. Takes $2200 to get a Turbo to over 300rwhp. Which is more than enough, lol.

 

New rings look good.

Thanks. Only thing I don't like about an older Porsche are the looks.
