Yep, I think that is what he was trying to do too. They had a *bunch*
of v6's on the lot, and no 8's. (most of the trucks were autos too (adding
insult to injury? ;^)

:-) Yeah.. .I've heard that one too. (from a different dealer.)
"The v6 is plenty powerful for this truck, I don't know why Dodge even offers
a v8, its too powerful!" Yeah, sure buddy. For you, maybe. I'm buying
this thing for *me*, not my grandma! :-) Hey, they offen an 8, why not
go for it? :-) (If they offered the 360, I would have gone for that,
if they offered the v10, I would have gone for *that*. :-)
