    Those who have attained your dream might be trying to tell you how to attain it.

    But you need to be able to read between the lines.


    How'd they get a Junkliner sleeper on that Peterbilt?

    But seriously folks...25 grand for an 89??????:biggrin_25513:

    In perfect condition that's a $10,000 truck....TOPS!

    NASCAR died when they stopped running the same cars that everyone can buy at their local dealership. Only the profile has to be the same now. There is no comparing brands anymore. Hell, they are running friggin JAP TOYOTA'S now . LMFAO!

    Yup. You ought to be able to at least buy the same basic drive train at your local dealer. When was the last time you saw a V8 powered, manual transmission, rear wheel drive Ford Fusion, Chevy Impala, or Toyota Camry? At least the Dodge Charger comes with a V8 & rear wheel drive, but still no manual transmission.

    ...at least the Busch...er...Nationwide series races the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger...both available with V8, manual transmissions, and rear wheel drive.

    Ok old timers, "Sup" can be used two ways. One as a poor abbreviation for Supposed. The other is an abbreviation for What's up.

    Thank's for pointing that out to us....:biggrin_25526::biggrin_2559::biggrin_25525:

    In this case the O/P used it in the context of misspelling "soup up" as in "How do I soup up my truck?"
