But Nick... I was under the impression that everyone in WI was just MADE of money... or at least that's the impression you give.


pacific... trust me, you CAN get 22.5 rubber to spin. ;)
 
On dry pavement :D

If Nick needs a automatic then he better look at the new Internationals the 466 and a juicer work fairly well together. Some of the utility companies are going to automatics in their International trucks.

HELLO! I'm right HERE! You don't have to use the third person. :angry:

We have a 4900/466, and I love it. The new ones, like I said, start at $64,000, though. It was fun to drive and had plenty of power. Just a wee bit pricey.....we're not that high margin, yet.

Third-person was proper. He was talking to ME about YOU.

Have you settled on a truck yet?
 
highpoint,
i'm not a big fan of turbo engines after some scary repair bills for a renault 5turbo a few years ago:( .as for engine replacement i was thinking more along the lines of a hayabusa susuki.aint as bad as most people think round corners you just gotta keep it smooth
 
Still trying to figure out if you're serious:confused:
Would make a good estimate and advertising vehicle.
At the Motorcycle dealership I used to work at they used to sell those Pulse things, actually I don't think they sold many because they were street legal but nobody would insure them.
