    Now you're talking! Any pickup that dwarfs an F-150 (and, of course, that doesn't have a "RAM" on it) works for me. B)

    Plus, a truck named after second-tier a rock band -- I mean, how cool is that? :D;)

    (yeah, yeah, I know -- Ransom E. Olds. Work with me here, OK? I'm on a roll...)

    Actually the band was named after the truck.. :smiley: But i know you knew that. :blush:

    I'm 65 and didn't know that. :o

    Damn a lot of stuff slipped by me over the years. Working one's life away can do that to some. :#

    Couldn't find a picture of donkey with Crown 800 but next best thing ^^^

    Crown's tagline used to be "Built Missionary Tough".
    Interestingly Pioneer (originally Fukuin) had missionary roots, too.

    Another potential tagline could have been: "Crown, Made in the Missionary Position".
