To answer you questions,
Yes I did take it on the freeway. I had the s**t scared out of me when I
looked down and saw the speedo, 110 in no time at all. Sorry Eric, I didn't
want to tell you what I did until I was sure I was buying the truck. The
Gratiot thing was a little embarrasing, getting spanked so bad!

Subject: DML: I sold my Dak
| Mark Kuzia came by today to take a look at my Dak. Him and a buddy
|kicked the tires and went for a spin in it. Don't really know where
|they went, but I hope they went on the Eway. Mark did ya? That's where
|the truck can really be fun. It pulls and pulls until you know you're
|going to get into real trouble if anyone with authority sees ya! They
|got back from their little joy ride and we chatted a little. Mark said
|he liked it but wasn't ready to decide just yet. I said cool and we
|agreed to talk again about it soon. When they left, it was time for me
|to stop off at the inlaws to pick up my daughter. It just so happened
|that I bumped into them again just a couple houses down from me! =0) I
|followed them out onto Gratiot and I guess they wanted to race. I
|stepped into it a little for 'em!
| Mark, I hope you enjoy this Dak as much as I have. Buddy, when and
|if you sell it again, I want first dibs!!
| I'm not signing off of the DML so soon though. I'm going to need a
|vehicle to drive until my 2000 Cherokee Classic with the Up Country
|Suspension comes in! I'm lookin to find either an older Mopar, or an
|old Dak.
