I read it in the Readers Digest probably about 10 years ago as a young
lad sitting on the crapper, but it was moving enough that it suck with
me even though I didn't know that years later I would own one of my
own.
About that same time my aunt and uncle had a Dakota about like mine
(gen 2, V-8, 4x4) and I always thought it was cool that a little truck
like that could pull their fifth wheel up into the Cascades for the
family reunion.
