Ray,
Don't feel bad, I watched my Dakota leave the dealership (sold her) lot on a
trailer just two days ago. :( She's in good hands though with a
Carbureted 408"/Automatic conversion already underway. Hopefully, I'll be
able to see her one more time after it's all done.
Next vehicle: 1990 Nissan 240SX w/40K original miles on it. (Have to fly
out to CA to pick her up from my mom though.)

Subject: DML: Farewell Dakota
After getting re-married in mid May this year, my
bride and I decided we needed a more family friendly
vehicle. I've had my Dak paid off for over 2 years now
and she paid off her Jeep GC earlier this year. When
we take the entire family (there are 6 of us
altogether) anyplace either someone has to be out of a
seat belt or we have to take 2 vehicles. Since my Dak
was the smaller of the two vehicles, we decided if we
found a vehicle we liked, the Dak would be the one to
be traded in.
Well we found one. Its a 05 Dodge Grand Caravan with
about 58K on the clock. Not a lot of bells and
whistles, but enough. AM/FM CD and cassette, tilt,
cruise, air, seating for 7, power windows and locks.
Total deal out the door is my truck and $8750. Since
the van lists in Kelley Blue book for @ $12K I think
we are getting a good deal.
Ray
