People Never Seem to Amaze Me

I am fueling my truck this evening at a local favorite when a guy in a brand new PSD pulls up next to me. He is looking at my truck as I ask him how he's doing. We talk for little bit when he asks why Dodge uses simulators on the DRW trucks instead of aluminum rims like what is on his Ford. I have no answer for him other than that it makes it easier to rotate the tires. He responds that the least they could have done was installed the hubcaps on so the Ram emblem was in the same place on all the wheels. He said it looked funny the way they put them on. I about wet my pants in laughter. By the way he said he got 23mpg on his first tank.... Crewcab DRW 4X2 with the new 6.0 and 5 speed auto.....my diaper could hold no more....CJ
