A Dodge Ram gets a helluva lot more respect out in the wide world 'o' traffic than does a Honda Accord.
Ever since I've gotten the Ram, I've noticed a distinct lack of folks making sudden and/or unannounced left turns across my bow. I've noticed that people actually stop at stop signs when I'm on the main thoroughfare, rather than blow through them. And no one tailgates me any more.
(Okay, so the last one is more conjecture on my part; I'm really not certain if anyone's tailgating me or not, as the Ram is just so freakishly big than anything short of a semi gets lost behind me...)
I like it. A lot. And, so far, it appears to be better on gas than the Durango it replaced...

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.
Send e-mail to my profile if interested.

Man, I sure feel small and vunerable next to your ride. After 15 years of pick-ups and El Caminos, Vette's feel even lower than they really are.
You really know how to hurt a guy, don'tcha? ;)
The 'Vette is on my list of "someday" toys... It'll be a horserace to see whether I get my 'Vette or something in the Class III family first...
Besides, I've always got the hawg if I want to feel small and vulnerable. While the Honda was bad for folks diving across my path, the Harley's infinitely worse...
If you want to maximize the respect your Dodge Ram engenders, find some non-Masshole plates (any southern state, Texas, or Idaho would work). The first time I drove my Georgia-licensed Ford F-150 in Baltimore, MD, I was reminded of nothing so much as the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus. Enjoy!
J,
Just like you name your rifles, you now have a name for the truck -- MOSES !!!
austin mike,
Believe me, there's very little on this earth I would like better than to be able to put non-Masshole plates on my truck... NH would be best...
brad,
The truck already has a name. It came to me in a thunderclap:
Diana.
500 bonus points to whoever can correctly guess why...
When I got my F150, I learned if I left my trailer hitch attached, nobody would tail gait me anymore. Might want to give it a shot.
Better than a new truck is an old truck.
I used to have a slightly dented Ford F-100 that was partly factory turquoise and partly primer brown.
No one ever cut me off when I drove it.
