Most people think the new Colorado trucks are ugly. Even the dealer apologized when I looked at one last week and then he said but they're built tough and that's what's important for a truck.
Older Chevy trucks are ugly too, especially back in the early 1960's. My God, these old ones especially want to make you puke. Why can't they hire people to make trucks that look nicer? Don't they ever get any feedback from people somehow?
I think they have the fords and Dodges trying to look like Freightliners with those obnoxious front ends on em.. there huge. they are heavy duty but not that heavy duty. and for compaison or the 3 manufacturers there really is no difference in the performance of these trucks. I know because I work with guys who truly use em as trucks.. We average 20,000 miles every 3 months hauling new travel trailers... I do know the Fords seem to have more turbo and injector problems than the Chevy's and Dodges..
what is this suppose to mean?
I can't believe you don't have a WebTV address.

Bob, Seeing as how you appear to be one of only two literate WebTV users I have encountered (and I've seen a LOT of other WebTV users) I'll explain. As a generalization (almost a truism) the stupidest posts and people I have ever witnessed have come from WebTV addresses. The reason this is funny, is because most other people on Usenet find the same experience. If it was just me experiencing it, it could be chalked up to me being the moron, but that's not the case. My experience with WebTV users leads me to believe that there are trailer parks across the nation giving these units away (which I know isn't true, as the units aren't cheap).
Make sense? As a secondary warning, there are people who will assume you are guilty by association by just seeing you post from a WebTV account. Having a Yahoo (or something like that) account to use as your posting address will move you up in respect by simply distancing yourself from the less intelligent WebTV users. I don't know if those settings are changeable in WebTV though.
I don't know if this is still true, but really in my experience the problem stems from WebTV not giving it's users any instruction in ettiqutte for Usenet. Clearly I am not the nettiqutte police, but I have witnessed over the years literally hundreds of WebTV users violating virtually every form of ettiqutte within their first few posts. Guys posting things like a simple two line response, but then having 16 confederate flags, a midi file of dualing banjos, a picture of some of their guns, a couple of mud-flap ladies images, 4 or 5 photos of their truck(s) and a story of their dog as their *signature* file for example. I could give you example after example similar to this, as could many others on this and other forums similar to this one.
A line I once read stated "I don't believe in evolution, but WebTV users are begining to convince me that de-evolution exists."
None of this is to pigeon-hole you of course, as you seem to be very reasonable and intelligent as I previously stated.
yeah......WTF is up with the Dodge Magnum?!?! You want ugly?? Dodge delivered. Oh and the piss ass Dakota?? I can drag one or two of them around a parking lot with my emergency brake on. I drive an 87 K5; and my LUGNUTS require more torque than those goddamn Mopar pieces of garbage put out!!! Don't get me started on the Fords either....
Dodge trucks good looking LOL LOL LOL ROTFL LMFAO!!! Most of them look like guppies with their mouths (or their rectums) open. They're butt ugly.

I agree the new chevys are ugly, guess GM is trying to carry on that billet look on the grill make them look tough, when actually they have their fare share of problems. I am a GM man myself, but I like the looks of the dodge ram and the new F-150. Personally the only chevy truck I really like is the old 96-99 Z71 C/K series with a 5.7 Liter which I own one. I also like the newer style S-10 and S-10 Blazer, atleast the engineers at GMC still have some taste, and always have, even if a GMC is a over priced Chevy.
Hello Chris, I can accept that there are some goobers on webtv but there are also some people that know everything about computers/webtv's etc etc.. that are webtv users. Now I know that everyone you meet on computers are not brain surgeons. I do own 3 computers but sitting on my couch with my 60 inch television/monitor is much more cozy when visiting and posting in groups. as for sometimes getting the midis/sigs and such is because on MSNTV disscussion groups list the newer users do not realize that all the groups they come across are not just for MSNTV users. So I will apologize for those users that just don't know that.Now the ones with their girly mudflap sigs and such they can't be helped. but I do agree MSN should seperate the groups so newer users will know the difference. I have been posting in this group for sometime now and have had great success with help and troubleshooting. and again I thank the group for that. but back to the Subject line.....
I love the post about Dodges...most of them look like guppies with their mouths open..
That just put a Large Mouth Bass in mind and every time I pass a Dodge thats what I'll think of...lol But I'll be the first to say the couple Dodges I have sat in got some pretty cozy seats...I just couldn't listen to a Dodge Deisel all day long... also a buddy of mine from New Hampshire has a King Ranch Ford and it has a really neat interior with the glazed wood and big cozy captain chairs. but mechanically the truck has been nothing but problems for him. He keeps driving them because he has the dealership by th balls .. He has been through three 04 King Ranches in 2004. they keep buying them back then pay him lost wages when it's on the side of the road...Pretty good deal but I don't want to be on the side of the road..I love my Chevy ...
Yeah, kinda' ugly but my girlfriend is even uglier. The ugly truck makes her look a little bit better. At least not as many people point and laugh at her so much.
