"I'd buy me a used car lot
and I wouldn't sell any of em
I'd just drive a different car
every day dependin on how
I feel."


from Tom Waits' "Christmas Card From A Hooker"

Of course this only really works with a lot full of yank tanks from the 50s. 60s and 70s

hate to tell you. but the cummins is a I6 not a v8, if you want a v8 diesel you will have to buy the ford, and the 6.7 is the newer dodge diesel, the 5.9 is the old, old diesel
