Speaking of which, why is it that the 2000s have the same ol' "V8
Magnum" badge as the older trucks? A cost cutting measure? Is there a
large surplus of badges? I thought the new V8 was supposed to be branded a
Powertech. Whatever it is, its not a Magnum, and its just as inaccurate to
call it a HEMI.
