hey chad, next time you want to flame someone, why don't you actually READ
what they said.
i didn't say that everyone whose truck is in there is a poser (what you
read), i wrote that the magazines "are all intended to satisfy the urges of
the posers, and not people who are interested in knowing about in-depth
technical knowledge."
what i'm talking about is how the magazine does "10 budget modifications"
for your truck, and most of them involve grilles, ground effects, stereo's,
a jet chip, and a CAI. and i love how most of the adds in the magazines are
ricer add-ons, or air suspensions (which i realize they don't have any
control over, but it reflects the kind of people that the magazine caters
to).
if i'm offending someone by insinuating that their truck is a "poser" then
i'm sorry, cuz that's not what i meant. i'm just talking about the quality
of the magazine, and what i'm looking for in one, and truckin' and
sporttruck don't measure up.

so the member on this list who had a feature article in sport truck is a
poser ?
cruzn lo is the truck. sorry i cant remember their first names.
maybe if more dodge dakota's show up at the major shows it would send a
signal that "HEY" there are other trucks out there.
