If our Dakotas are "just a truck" as you call it,why do most of
us(Myself,Bernd,Bill C,Don M,etc)go to the expense of making our trucks
better?
Because we each love our Dakota in a similar,but different way.
If the Dakota is "just another truck",how come 107 people belong to my
DodgeDakotaQuadCab@yahoogroups List???
I get attached to inanimate objects.When i traded off my 1994 Dodge
Caravan,i cried...Yes,i cried.Why,because that van & I went a lot of
places.She was a part of me.I dont ever want to part with my Dakota,and go
thru that feeling again.I am 45 yrs old,and when i am 70,i still plan on
owning it.Maybe a new engine or tranny,but she will still be my "ride".
Our trucks are a reflection on who we are...plain & simple
And i'm just speaking my mind,but i think i speak for all the other Dakota
owners(especially Quad Cab owners)here...
