LOL!

My dream vehicle collection isn't far off from yours, Jon. Must be the name
:-)

Here's mine:
Ram 3500 CTD 6-speed (I want one of the '03+ SRWs, though)
Gen II 2wd Dak with a 318 and a 5-speed, for a racing truck project.
Gen III Dak 4x4 4.7L/5-speed. Just because :)
A Saturn Vue, for those times you need a car. There's not many of those
times, but they do exist. The Vue has more room than any of Dodge's
offerings, sadly, and is a pretty nice car, even though it's no Mopar :-)
This car will have a 2.2L four-banger and 5-speed.
A 1970 or '71 'Cuda or Charger, kind of like yours but not :-) Mine will
have a 426 and a 4-speed.
And finally, a nice convertible with bunches of horsepower. Maybe a Viper
:-)
