Reeder Custom Guns - We have been looking at new pick up trucks latyely and

and they about gave me a coronary. When I look at the prices on the windows and they run in the mid $85 thousand and more makes me want to just hang on to my Expedition a bit longer. We looked at one Ram truck with the 5.7 Hemi and all the goodies and it was priced at $96,000. I don't know how all these young kids these days are driving these high priced vehicles unless Mom and Dad are paying the payments.

remembered your pick up we rode in when I was up there. They had down at the bottom of the price sheet on one truck I looked at that monthly payments were approx. $1600 a month for 72 months which worked out to around $115,000 minimum for the truck. I have bought houses for less . That's nuts.

winter is 20 to 25 FEET of snow. That is rough on a truck so we usually trade in our older truck for a new or almost new truck every 3 or 4 years. We have 5 vehicles between Colleen and my son Kase and I and sometimes could use another.

Nissan and Ford are having terrible design and quality issues. Some of the V8 and 2.7 turbo motors are blowing like popcorn. Mechanics do not like the Triton motors. I've had one for 220K that is fine. I'd not change spark plugs but there you go.

Dodge Hemi's do not oil adequately at low rpm and are roasting cams. Fine at highway speeds. Chevy's that ramp down from 8 cyl. to 6, 4 etc are bad too.

Any CVT transmission is suspect. A new one is $7k and likely to swarm prematurely as well.

Hyundai and Kia car engines have timing chain issues and rack up the motors terribly. I'd not have one. Ditto BMW and Audi, their plastic chain tensioners and other varied plastic engine parts turn to brittle dust.

To pay so much for a polished turd is financially and mentally disastrous.
