Hello again,
First,I wanted to say that this mailing list is outstanding! I thought I
would relate a Chevy stomping incident that happened to me a couple years
ago. I haven't received my new Dakota yet, so all I have is Jeep stories.
(Waiting for fond Dak stories in the future)
I live in Missouri where if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and
it will change. Anyway in late January 96 the forecast called for a light
accumulation of snow. This "Light Snow" turned into 23 inches in my driveway.
I had a 94 Wrangler that was basicly stock except for a mild lift and 30x9.50
BFG All-Terrains. My Boss is an ex-Chevy salesman, so I would catch it daily
about driving a Jeep. His Z-71 had a 350, my little Jeep had a 4 banger,
which definatly kept me from getting speeding tickets. Anyway, made it to
work with little problems, but I can't say that for poor Norman. His Chevy
couldn't even get into the parking lot, it kept riding up over the snow
instead of cutting trough it. It took 4 of us to get him straight so he could
even park. I of course had to rub salt into the wound and go out and drive
around the floundering Chevy a couple of times. It just goes to show that
even a little Chrysler 4 Banger has its day against Chevy. I only hope the
new Dak will do as well in snow and on the hills here in the Ozarks. Thanks
for letting me rant!
