I would have said... "Dad, thank you but just because you bought a mistake and now your buying a real truck, that doesn't mean you can pass your mistake off to me..." hehehe!! What color Dakota would you get? ~Amanda Dodgegirl1937931.6787731481 (in reply to Spyder) Post #: 2

But they promised me that when i graduate college theyll get me any vehicle i want. so itll work out. but i was thinking about putting the chevy 350 i have hanging on the tree limb into my s10 so that itll have more power.

LMAO!! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! ;) But sure... if it's just hanging out (LOL!!) drop it in to the S 10... drive the heck out of it before you make your Dad buy you a Viper.

Me and my dad havent done anything with it yet because it needs a complete overhaul but yeah it is still hanging from a chain on one of the big limbs. Me and dad are shadetree mechanics.

A pinto wagon with half the spark plugs gone will win. You'll be sittin' there in a cloud of smoke followed by two pop sounds as your tires explode from the spinning. The thing wouldn't be able move. As soon as it's put in gear the tires are gone. And if you tubbed the bed and put steamroller tires on it with wheelie bars you would simply be holding on for dear life.
