HAPPY BURFDAY!!! (that's a Philly accent)

FOR SALE: 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport Regular Cab. RARE COMBINATION 3.9L with a 5-speed and manual 4WD. has 150,000 and change on it. The BAD NEWS: Frame is shot. All body panels are shot, especially the pickup bed. The cab and body mounts are shot. Will not pass the next Pennsylvania Inspection which is due up at the end of July 2026. The GOOD NEWS: The engine runs strong. The clutch is strong and the 5-speed shifts as smooth as the the prom queens thighs. A/C works. Interior pieces are in decent shape. AM/FM/Cassette/Disc all work very well. Has 5 new tires, mounted on 6-lug rims. Have one extra 6-lug rim. You can see the tires in the picture (ON THE TRUCK....They only have about 3000 miles on them if that. The tires in the bed ARE NOT INCLUDED. I can see someone using this for the drivetrain, interior parts and the tires/wheels or for running around on a farm (if you patch up the frame a bit and replace the body mounts for heavy loads) I'd like to get back what I have into the tires.....Asking $700 or OBO. I will be bringing it to Macungie if you want to take a look at it or come to Hellertown, Pa.

You had time to pose for a picture with her? I would have told her I was busy and to go away.

That was ignorant- I would have at least let her use my phone to call an Uber.

I'm not an engineer but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Select last night

TJC, how ya dooin?

Silent Service. You don't know they are there until it is all over.

For the first time since WWII, the United States Navy silent service has sunk an enemy vessel by torpedo attack. The IRIS DENA, an Iranian missile frigate, is now at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, off Sri Lanka; courtesy of an MK-48 torpedo fired by an unnamed US Attack Boat. There are two types of ships- submarines and targets. Myself, Dad and "Large" on board the USS Nautilus SSN-571 about 12 or 14 years ago.

It's Lips and Assholes!

Hey OtherDog, I wonder if they have scrapple in Australia?
