I have driven 18,000 miles so far on my 2000 Dak Quad Cab,and i dont
ever plan on getting rid of it.I am very sentimental about the vehicles that
i have owned.My last wheels were a 94' Caravan,and even though the tranny
went at 96K,i needed new wheels.My mother(still living)gave me a real
gift,an early inheritance gift..SHE BOUGHT MY
2000 DAKOTA QUAD CAB!.When i signed the papers for my Dak(yes,i bought it
off the showroom floor)i went out and looked at my van.Even though i was
getting a superior vehicle,I got very emotional.That van and i had been
through hell & high water together.If any car truly had a soul,it was my 94'
Caravan...
Well,now i have my Dakota,and i am extremely proud of it.The cheapest thing
i can put in it is gas,so i'm not planning on selling it for at least 15
years..YES,I LOVE IT THIS MUCH!.I wash my Dak 2 times a week,and wax it at
least once a month.Everytime it rains,i use "Meguiars Mist Detailer"
spray,to keep it clean like the day i first
drove it.I also clean out the 15x8 aluminum mags every 3 days.I dont
smoke,and i dont let anyone in it that does.Also,i dont allow coffee
in my Dak(i think u can guess why).
And if any fellow DML list members in Wisconsin see a 2000 Forest
Green/Driftwood Dakota Quad Cab driving around with 2 Dodge Stickers
on the back window,an American flag,and U.S. Swimming Decals,feel free
to honk..(i'll pull over)
So if anyone else is thinking(jeez,heaven forbid!)of parting with their
Dakota,for a car that gets better mileage,let the recent sentence,so well
spoken by Charlton Heston of the NMRA speak for me..
"FROM MY COLD,DEAD HANDS"
I think i have just spoken for at least a 1000 Dak owners out there
