Sorry to hear the you got jipped in the garage department. That really
sucks. Mine's got a 16 foot aluminum boat, a freezer, lots of other misc
junk, a workbench, tools, massive rolling toolbox, and a bunch of shelves to
name just a few. The Dak is only about 3-4 feet shorter than the garage
with the door down. We can actually fit our 96 CC SB Ram in there with
inches in front and rear.
What are "cinders??" You knew you were gonna have to explain right?
-- -Josh 2000 Dakota CC 3.9L ============================Josh, PA is a big coal state. What goes along with coal are furnaces. Years ago people started burning coal for both home and business use. When you burn coal in a furnace, you create cinders; partially burned coal. Cinders are also created in furnaces used for forging metal. Not only do you get cinders from the coal, you get them from the metal that is being forged in the form of slag, a by- product of purifying metal. Between the two, huge anounts of cinders have been created over the years. (Especially from the steel mills.) Now I'm not that old (at least not ancent anyway), and I can't testify to this, but I believe this is where most of PA's cinders have come from. Rich - (ex PA Yankee; now a Damn Yankee living in VA)
PS. I want to know something. I've been in VA now for over half my life. When do you stop being a Damn Yankee and become a Rebel?
