Awesome thread. I used to work for our local DOdge dealership and being an avid GM fan I payed them no mind. The rams with the 318s and 360s were nice but when the 4.7 came out I was like WTF is this doing in a truck. GOt the mileage my 10 gets now! Well then the Hemi shortly followed and it was a giant step in the right direction, but I still could walk them in my 5.3 Chevy. Well the 10 came out and I talked our GM into driving it for about 5 miles as it only had that amount on it already, and he finally agreed. I loved it!!!, ,but couldn't afford 50K with my employee discount so I waited. Well last year I looked at trucks and wanted something new with a long warranty and I bought an 08' Silverado with all the bells and whistles. My first new truck since 93'. I was a proud papa and just started tinkering with it when, after 5 months of ownership was sideswiped by a bitch running late for work and totalled my BRAND new truck. Well when I bought the truck last year I saved 12K due to the employee discount pricing and year end closeout. When I went to buy another new one 09' they quit making the [package I had except in an LTZ ( leather, heated mirrors and seats,two tone interior, Onstar,Sunroof, BLack,Black, and Black.) Not only that but couldn't get close to the deal I got just a few months prior, so I said F'it I'm gonna see what the economy has done to the SRT10 I wanted from the get go and I made a great deal on a 1 owner Black QC that is VENOMOUS!! And yes, I do as well tell her goodnight and I wish I had a room in the house for her. She also is told in advance of her beauty appointments and hand massages. She gets rubbed more than my wife as well. LOL
