Orion about your comment "Been thinking about a 3/4ton Dodge with the cummins though."
I'm not trying to say Cummins make bad engines or anything but I found that they are one of the major contributors to Handgun Control Inc
"The following listing includes the most prominent national
corporations and/or corporate heads that have used the company name while actively supporting anti-gun proposals or organizations.
Cummins Engine Company, Inc.
Henry B. Schacht, Chrm. & CEO
500 Jackson Street
Box 3005
Columbus, IN 47202
(812) 377-5000
Diesel engines, related parts"
From- http://www.rkba.org/nra/antis.6oct95.old
Does anybody else have any other information about this?? Pretty disappointing to see a Diesel Engine company is majorly anti-gun.
edit- and heres another source from the enemy itself http://www.bitsnet.com/agca/corps.htm#Cummins

My stable! 2003 Toypta Prius and a Toyota 2004 Prius. The 2004 is starting to loosen up. At the last mileage check and taking it easy around town, I got 62 mpg. The 2003 does not do quite as well. It only gets about 55 mpg around town. Sometimes I have to put almost $10 worth of gas in when I fill up!

1995 Nissan Altima with 102k on the clock. Works well and I can fit two people's worth of Highpower gear (but nobody in the back seat when I do that! 
).
Before the Altima I had a '93 Mazda Protege that had 153k when I traded it in. Never left me stranded and I managed to fit myself, my father, brother, best friend AND shooting gear into it (once). Plus it got like 40mpg all summer long.
Of course somedays, when shooting just the handguns, I will take my '02 Suzuki SV650S to the range. What a blast! Too bad I can't find my pics right now...

2003 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. Fantastic, quick, and agile car, and beautiful too. I named her after one of my favorite "dancers" from years past - Natasha!

One of the few representing the Blue Oval...
The daily urban assault vehicle, a Frenc...err...Fighting Blue '03 Ford Focus ZX3. Currently in the crash shop after an un-expected encounter with a T-Bird.
Whenever I need to move stuff, there's the '97 F250. The Focus makes a great daily driver, but moving guns and their cases isn't its forte. Pickemups make range days easy and makes you lots of new friends when it comes time for them to move stuff

1987 Toyota Camry, white, wearing 65-series Goodyear Eagles. Hey, it's tactical--you know, Camryflage.
Currently 215,000 miles on the clock (2-liter DOHC 16-V, 3S-FE) and still going smoothly. And wearing the Eagles, it will out-corner, out-brake, and out-accelerate the '82 Firebird (V6) I used to drive many years ago . . .
Never understood people who buy an expensive car with an expensive suspension and put the cheapest, lousiest tires on it that they can find--put "rides-like-a-cloud/no-traction-but-lasts-forever" tires on your BMW, and you will get out-braked and out-handled by your neighbor's Civic . . .
Obligatory gun-related content: A Camry's trunk will swallow a huge amount of range gear . . .

Another Blue Oval response
2000 Mustang GT! Final loan payment in April! 35,000 miles! Another year of extended warranty from Galpin in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley! Yeehah!
"Growly" the car gets a full detailing to celebrate the payoff.

1998 Honda Civic HX Coupe, I guess I could have a better car if I didn't have so many guns. Oh well, priorities.

I drive a 2002 Civic for economic reasons -- I drive 100 miles per day round trip to work. I used to drive a VW GTI, which was more of a guy's car, but it was terribly unrealiable and expensive to maintain....
I bet I'm the only Civic on the road with NRA and Peace Through Superior Firepower stickers!

I feel your pain, I drive the white minivan of death. It's a White Chevy Lumina minivan that looks vaguely like a shuttlepod from the old enterprise with a red interior reminiscent of the new enterprise bridge furniture. I realized 4 months ago when I got it that I had become a "family man" and could no longer claim to be "cool" unless I was riding my cycle and then only when I don't start talking about stupid family oriented stuff (spoils the "rough" image that the leather builds up if you start talking about changing dirty diapers, etc).

1994 Chevy Caprice 9c1 (police package) Former Ohio Highway Patrol cruiser. Still mostly stock, 150k miles on the original engine, have swapped in very comfy seats from a pontiac bonneville to replace the awful police seats.
2002 Ford ZX2, it wiil hold everything that I take to the range without folding down the rear seat.
and a hunk of junk 1984 Mazda B2000, I'm just waiting for something to go wrong with it so that I can junk it and get something else. There isn't a straight panel on it and it has a homemade grill. I wouldn't trust it to go to the range, heck I hardly trust it to drive 3 miles to work!

One of these. (No, this isn't mine, though it's the same colour.)
1998 Ssangyong Musso. (Means "rhino" in Korean.)
It was a German-Korean collaboration. Mine has a full-on Mercedes Benz 3.2 litre 220bhp straight six, complete with M-B badges etc. Have a friend who has run his up to 200 kmh before he remembered it is a 4WD after all. ABS, traction control, constant 4WD, very low centre of gravity, cruise, sunroof, climate control, about 65k miles on the clock, 26-28 mpg on a country run, auto gearbox, H/L ratios with downhill control gear.
You either like or hate the styling -- me, I like it. Heaps of room in the back for guns/range bags/cleaning gear etc.

His and Hers....
Hers: '00 328Ci Sport, bone stock
His: '02 X5 4.4i Sport, 4.6is body kit, Navigation, Alpine 6-Disc, complete tint all the way around (even sunroof). When the warranty is up, it'll become Dinan S3 (420+ hp), or at least S2.
