Truck

Alright, an update on the crash. For those that don't know we ended up with 94 Dodge Ram 1500 with a canopy. It is an automatic (I am pretty lazy when it comes to driving and don't want to drive a stick), has a 360 V8 (not a clue, but LOTS of POWER!). Overall its a nice truck. A few scrapes and scars but they give it character. It gets really bad gas mileage (12 mpg roughly). With the big engine that makes since. So you may be asking why we would buy this. Well it does everything we need. Its a 4x4 so snow trips wont be a problem and neither will mountain drives. Camping will be a breeze, dogs can be taken to the beach without a mess and whatever we need to haul wont be a problem. also it can tow a horse if needed to do so. Yesterday I got a chance to use her for hauling things. We needed beet pulp and discovered that there is currently a shortage in our area. Not sure why. So we were off to coquille for it. We ended up with 12 bags (600lbs). Then it was off to farrs where we picked up 3 bags of pellets (150 lbs) for the stalls. All of which was put in the back of the truck and i didn't even notice that 750 lbs was in the truck. The cost off all this peace of mind? $3600. Not bad Not bad at all.
