    Hey, have been reading alot in the last few days at this site, and thanks for all the information.

    I just picked up my 08 pk6 today and drove home (a little scared). I own a 2001 Dodge Ram (5 inch lift 35 tires) but no one ran me over. :) Oh yea, the Dodge now gets 12 MPH.

    This will be the new work car, I drive about 40-50 miles a day.

    I would like to let you know this is my part of getting the troops out of Iraq, drive green and save a few lives I hope.

    I did my time there, now I can drive a green vech (I did buy the Green one) with out a gun on top....

    Thanks again for all the info on this site and I hop I can provide info.

    Feels good, doesn't it? It's strange to get down that low after being that high, though. Fortunately I had my wife's '07 Beetle to help me get used to it!

    Congrats! I have a Dodge 4X4 too, 35 inch tires and a 4 inch lift . Yours seems to get better gas mileage though! I use the dodge mostly to pull my boat. I hate to fill it up. I need a loan to fill the truck and boat at the same time. I gave up a 2005 Infinity FX 35 for the Prius. The infinity gets only 18mpg. Don't miss the money spent at the pump and I drive a little different now too! Sure do like my Prius!
