Was: [DMCForum] Re: Chrylser "Coronodo" Now Mr. Mayor

["Jack Stiefel" <jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Three Words - MAYOR OF TRUCKVILLE!!!  That phrase doesn't include Fords or
chevy's (yes I have a capital "F" for Ford and not chevy's, they don't
deserve capitalization).  I used to wish for a Ram body with a big ol
chevy
engine, but then Hemi came out and forget that dream.  I would put my 2003
Ram 2500 Hemi against anything else out there.  I mean stock -- not
special
packages since all makers have their one big built up versions.  That
means
no Lightning's, or Harley packages etc. Dodge has a few of their own.

My brain skipped a groove too -- I was thinking of the "Cordova".

Never paid much attention to Mopar anyway. No need to when you drive
FORDS!
