I think the fact that it has a Mitshubishit nametag is reason enough to hate
it. I don't care if it's made by dodge, or uses the same parts, or whatever
the hell they do with this bastard child of a truck, one constant is the
same....it's a mitsubishit! Call me stubborn, thick-headed, an idiot, or
whatever....I'ld get my ass kicked by a certain WWII vet grandfather for
buying one.

Hell, I'ld bet some serious coin that theres people who think I'm an idiot
for buying an 05 dakota. That may be true, but I'm just soooo anxious to see
what happens a few years from now when the battle lines are more
prevalent.... Trucks don't last forever, so which "loyalists" make the
change or jump ship! :)

No offense meant towards anyone....just a philosophical dilemma I've created
out of curiosity, boredom, and the desire to get people using some cognitive
skills! :)
