Het Rob - sorry about the F-Body's - I did toy with the idea of getting a SLP 'Bird 10 years ago... |
John,
Those SLP cars are schweet! I belong to a few F-Bod clubs and am the developer (and a moderator) of a popular F-Bod site / board. I'm a first-gen guy myself but I have to admit... when we all get together during the car show season... those SLP cars will put ya' back in the seat! Oh well... what can ya' do??? Later, Rob |
John, I said it before, I dont know anything about trucks or any of those hydrocarboratormajjiggys.......all those big words i do not understand, I am mainly a boat guy....I also have not driven ANY trucks, without my dad in it.
I am only basing my opinion, as I said before, on what I have been inside and rode in....and you don't need much experience to feel more comfortable in one truck over the other and like it's design more than the other and also compare the tech specs and see a big difference in numbers......but I do not know what those numbers mean, I just base it on the bigger number the better....:happy: |

[B]Yea, Dodge's haven't been around long, but long enough to prove they are the superpower! SnS,, i have never read a post (besides my own, that was more wrong then this ;) , First of all , Dodge HAS been around a LONG time,what john meant was the new body style is new... right john? :) "I personally think the toyotas and chevys beat the old dodge rams, perhaps before 98' or so," *How do you figure this Vic? my dodge ram will pull yers accross RI ;) Toyotas Never 'beat' an AMERICAN truck,,, they sell more, yeah, cuz they are a cheap truck,,, there V8 tundra would never beat a ram or chevy,, not even a ford :eek: "when they relied on other manufacturers to solve there troubleshooting." LOL--LMFAO!!!!!! they been around ALONG TIME,,, ever hear of a dodge dart ?? one of da best stock cars ?? besides the '64 Fairlane (only ford i like) the 94-01 body style was one of the longest lasting body styles around--- the F-Series Fords changed alot cause people got sick of them faster,, you know what the 94/01 body style is like ? "BIG-RIG" people loved that back then :) "every vehicle has to start somewhere!" Vic, I'm sorry, you are not very auto smart,, i have a picture of a 1923 Dodge power Ram,,, NEW ??? lol ,, wrong,,, dodge came out right around fords prime,,,,,, by,, the"Dodge Brothers" , i know,, i'm good :p "dodge may not be the oldest and most experienced truck" It's one of the oldest,,,and they started with coupes BTW, not trucks.... auto makers don't use "experience" like that,, they listen to there customers and they stick 2 the drawing boards,,, some times they have a hit,,, sometimes they don't ,,, damn i'm good :p "but it sure is powerful in my opinion!" Serously, i think a new Chevy Souped up out of it's mind would kick a rams ass, i always liked chevys,,, just dodge rams have that sound and speed ,, ZOOOOM JOHN, as you asked,,, we hit 130 almost pinned on a Alpine 140 speedometer.. on the newport bridge,,, we hit 130 very quickly and you couldn't even feel it,,, truck was straight and in control (my dad drives for a liven) we kept going an going untill we reached the end of the bridge ,lol,,, we coud of hit 140... my uncle souped this truck up,, alot , higher posi traction - high perfomance air fileters , mufflers, ETC,,, truck sounds MASSIVE,, but rides like a caddy,,, untill ya open it up,,,, SnS was in my ram when my uncle did a Hole Shot around the corner ///remember?? It runs great in the sand,,, like i said before,,, here in cranston there used to be an area called "the dunes" with soft sand, hard sand,, dirt jumps,, etc,, (now there is the 'cranston parkade' over there w/ kmart an all,,, but we took the ram there when it was all still sand and hit it ,,, awsome!! we also drove it on the beach (illegaly ;) ) before,,, did great,,, i never said a ford cannot "drive" i just don't like 'em ,,, i seen an heard WAY to many bad things about them...... and we've pullled new fords all over the place ,, even tho our ram is souped up a bit... don't matter it was a new bigger ford,,, so it was " = " ;) My moms Great Uncle,, aka 'gramps' , has a 2002 Ford F-150 long bed,,, with a 110 speedo ,, we hit it and at 100 it felt like the truck as rocking back an 4th,,,, ford is the working mans affordable truck,, but rams just clean up house man,,, i love chvys as well (Bow-Tie) ,, My mom has a '88 Chevy Camaro Z-28 454ci chev (not original) flow master duals and POSI traction,, custom frame steel and Bubble hood,, in storage,,, we take it out everysummer ,,, can you say ZOOOOOOOOOM,,,, cause it can ;) (150- swiftly) so chevy is on my list,,,, as well as our all original Dart (storage) 383 , car needs work but it MOVES... BTW, i have driven trucks,,, and i know how they handle and feel.. Also, john,, yes my uncle is a Licenced Auto Mechanic but sticks to building houses more $$ he just got done doing a full frame up restoration on a '57 Chevy Bel-Air 2dr HrdTop All Original 57 parts except motor (409) Car is SWEEEET sold it for $26,500 wish i could have it,,,,, he is now in the proccess of a '55 Chevy Post most original , needs more work,,, he wants a 350 in the,, obviously non-original.... he got it in his garage at his boss' shop - sweeeeet ride,,, maybe i'll get this one ;) Vic,,, it's my dumb uncle.....you met him... not the one who works on outboards Hey, this is going to be an ON-GOING thead about dodge vs. chevy vs. toyota vs. ford .,,,,, IT GETS US AROUND,, why argue ? Grab life by the horns ,,, an be happpy ;) i like Dodge/Chevy ,,, you like Ford/Yota,,,, can't change that ,,, now let's argue about boats ,, i like Luhrs ,,,, (just playing around ) it's all fun No Hard Fellings here ,,, hope all is the same on the other ends... See you all later,, have a good one! |

SSX, If your ram can trailer mine across RI (which I highly doubt, mine is much heavier) then mine can trailer yours across the U.S.!:)

Dodge rams make terrible tow vehicles. I've owned one since 94, a 94 and 98 1500. The suspension is terrible for towing and you should cut their tow rating in half to safely tow anything. Ford's are well noted for their towing capabilities.

Hmmmm
John, I don't mean to sound 'rude' and i am not saying i know more or better german then you, but-- I ,, even my Mother who is Fluent is Full German had a hard time "translating" your first post in german,, In other words...
Wo hast du dein Deutsch gelernt? Because. Was du da geschrieben hast macht ganz und gar keinen Sinn Well... Was du geschrieben hast macht teilweise Sinn Ich kann ein wenig Deutsch, aber nicht besonders gut. Ich reise bald nach Deutschland, und werde die Sprache allmählich erlernen. Understand That?? :p didn't think i was that advanced, huh? ;) Because you asked me if i understood, well 'sarcasticly' ,, Hmmm,, why where you in germany for 3 years ? Slow down on that Autobon! ,, hey now,, girls and drinking is all fun,, till ,,, well ,, it's always fun... ;) surprised? :) You should see my Mom,,, she can speak to a real german and have them convinced, she even rolls the 'Rs' we go to the Oktoberfest at Newport Yachting Center Almost every year,, alot of german stuff there.. :) Vic,, LOL , that is Funny,,, it is great how i choose to learn it so i can talk about people with out them knowing,,, it is quite fun... and when you p-ss me off,, i can cuss at you , but you will look 'clueless' , i love it... ;) Team, we used to have a 26' SeaRay (8kLbs+) and we pulled that boat almost every weekend for 2 years,, i know trailering a 26 footer isn't smart for any truck for every weekend, but docking was Full, and all empty slips where end ones with the 70$ a foot We also have a 3,000 lb Camper that we pull up to maine,NH,VT,CT, etc,, with all our camping gear, propane, water-etc, that's closer to 4kLbs not a-lot, but you cannot even feel it. We have Pulled a 2002 Ford F250 around like a wet log,, they are nothing, just have a Rep for 'Built-Ford-Tuff' when i seen one go in at Oakie beach cause the tranny was screaming cause of the 25 or 27' it was TRYING to Yank ;) your ram must of been , well, built like a ford if that happen... :p (just playing around) like i said,, this is crazy fighting over what truck is better,,, just drive it , fish and shad-up ;) Have Fun fishing and not worrieing about the truck at the other side of the beach stuck in the sand (ford) and the truck helping it out (dodge) and the truck just hanging out, case it knows it will win (chevy) Maybe,,, i love chevys as well,,,if chevy looked as nice as a ram, and sounded as massive and fast-- i would rather own one ;) Victor, First off, you dodge ram is the quad cab , that is not MUCH-MUCH heavier,, and second of all,, Weight don't mean crap when towing each- other,, it's all about TOURQE -HP and the Expericnce of the DRIVER,, as well as yer TRANNY AND GEARS, not really, but still.. Our motors are the same size, yet mine has been souped up so i can do holeshots till the tires bald,,,, you should see us in the winter,, we go in a big parkin lot, pop in 2whl drive and do 360ºs all onthe snow and ice,, FUN, (till the cops come) ;) I am done argueing between brands of trucks,,, we all know how it really is,, "if you own that brand of truck,, that brand rules" always,,, so i give up. Have a good one Guys! Auf Wiedersehen Mr.John R :) Fische An! |

LOL, i hope you are kidding ;) ,, i am not 25% german,,, a very very very very distant RELATIVE might have spent some time there,,, and i don't hate Germans,, heck i think the 'Mid-Evil' ways in old germany, and the Castles all over the place are very cool! And you of all people know that i wouldn't be forced to learn that,, heck i ain't even forced to learn anything ;) and i am Italian As Well ,, Look at my Last Name , my Grandfather/Grandmother on my dads Side Came Strait from Italy (1944) I belive :confused: will have to look at his Records and stuff again,,, next time you are over i will show you them... See Ya See You Guys! |
Hehehe - like I said - I stopped using German about when you were born :laughs: ... And as I said - today I couldn't speak German with a 2 year old :eek5:
Octoberfest in Newport is OK, Oktoberfest in Muenchen was much better but my favorite was Bad Canstadter Fest in Stuttgart - it was the second largest fest at the time but it was also only 15-20 minutes from my high school - Noch ein mal, bitte :cheers: Wo hast du dein Deutsch gelernt? Because. Was du da geschrieben hast macht ganz und gar keinen Sinn Ich habe zwei jarhre Deutsch in Amerikanische gymnasium gelernt... Ich weise meine vortshatz is sehr schlecht und meine gramatik ist knein besser als meine vortschatz. Macht nichts. Was du geschrieben hast macht teilweise Sinn Makes no sense :eek5: ? Sad thing is that my buddies from Germany (mostly americans) would probably understand it as their german has degenerated to the same point after all of these years. My conversational German is a tick or two better than my schreibed - but not too much :( - Pidgeon Deutsch we call it now. Understand That?? didn't think i was that advanced, huh? Because you asked me if i understood, well 'sarcasticly' ,, I'll admit - you've mildly impressed me there... Let me know when you try Gluewein on a cold Volksmarch - of course when you are old enough. Hmmm,, why where you in germany for 3 years ? My father worked for the DOD for 25 or so years and did a tour with NCEUR from 83-86. I'd tell you more but then I'd need to kill ya ... It was a 3 yr rotation and we were out of Patch Barracks, HQEUCOM (where so few have been led by so many), from 83-86. I graduated from Patch American High at Patch Barracks in Vaihingen. Funny thing was that after 3 years in Germany, he could only say "Ein mal, bitte" and "Zahlen, bitte" and contrary to popular belief "Ausfahrt" is not a massive city on the autobahn.... You have fire drills in HS, we had bomb scares back then as well as legitimate terrorist threats, but still, I wouldn't trade it for the world. |

hmmm, slick Vic

Hmmmm, big mike

A) Nobody cares what you are B) You both were born in America, that makes you full blooded Americans. When(or if:rolleyes: ) you go to Europe you'll need to get a passport. The passport states your nationality - it will say American not 85% Italian 15% BS. CAN YOU PLEASE ARGUE ON THE PHONE.....PLEASE! NOT J/K.

Well, Well...
John,
Now, Most of that i could Understand,,, That wasn't too bad,,, That is pretty good for 2 years of German in high school! The Resolution of it is pretty understandable,,, but the Dies and Ders and all are sometimes in the wrong place,,, a mistake i know very well :( and the way it is put is sometimes 'back-wards' also a mistake i sometimes make,,, they talk differently then us, like dates an times are said differently,, it's a hard lang to get to know, but once you know it, it goes along well... We Go to The Classes Once in a while,,(my mom goes every week, i only go once in a while,,too boring,lol) We Also have the Tapes, Videos and Books,, i like the tapes the most, just put some head-phones on, while reading Salt Water Sportsman ;) I can Write it Quite Well, Read it Well, but Pronouncing them words is sometimes a project ,, but i'm getting the hang of it.... it's always Good to know a Second Lang anyways! "I'll admit - you've mildly impressed me there... Let me know when you try Gluewein on a cold Volksmarch - of course when you are old enough." Aww, it wasn't Meant to impress to the least bit :blush: , well, maybe a little ;) (jk) 'Gluewein -Volksmarch' how about Jagermiester ? (Never Tried it, but it looks Tasty!) :) I like the Newport Oktober Fest,, about 3 years ago, we drove the 26' searay there and docked it at a open slip, <didn't get caught> It isn't much of a celebraton, but they have some awsome food there,,, and it's funny to watch how they danced in the old germany days,,,outfits make 'em look like elfs! lol I went last year and was on the docks looking at the 120'+ yachts I didn't go this year, i was too into october fishing,,my mom went and brought me back my favorite german 'snack', a Giant Pretzel! :eek: That is cool how you got to spend time there,, ever go to 'Koblenz' ? My mom has Friends she met in memphis who are from there.... this is a 'crazy' question, but did ya do any fishing over there ?? Our Hotel we will be staying at in Northern German is right on the 'ocean-front' wonder if i should take a little rod/reel, lol, we stay in northern german for almost , then we go to central germany for a few days, then to Paris, France for a few,,, then England for the remainder of the 2 week stay ,, it is expensive to go and stay there, but my mom might want to stay 3 weeks to see more and not be in a rush,,,, but that might take away from my spring/summer fishing :( (jk) well, All this German Talk Makes me want a Giant salted Pretzel to wear around my neck,, with a side of seasoned Potatos ,, don't forget the Sausage :D Auf Wiedersehen für jetzt Have a Good One! P.S. " ü " is made by holding Alt 1-2-9 (just incase ya wanted to know :) |
Alright!~
This has gone on long enough. I started this thread looking for opinions. On What? Toyota v.s. Nissan...remember?? ..where did I invite Mr. Dodge? If you guys (Stripersnipper & Stars&strips) would like to start a thread about Dodge... go right ahead. Or if you'd like to start a half German half Italian thread, do that too, but Please stop "polluting" my thread with your personal conversations/arguements with each other. GOT PHONE?....well get off the internet, and USE IT!!!:mad: Whenever I get online and check my mail, it shows that I have replys to this thread. I anxiously open it looking for more useful information on making my decision about a Nissan v.s. a Toyota...and all I see is.... jibberish like this :af: Quote:
