Power For The People: 1990 Dodge Power Ram

This next car comes as a tip from David in Tampa who writes: I miss the unadorned simple honesty of this kind of truck. It’s like a child’s sketch of a truck, the truckiest of trucks that ever trucked a truck.

A clean, well cared for truck which runs great, and looks great. No tears in the upholstery, no major dings, and never been in an accident. A couple very small paint chips as to be expected of a truck this age. It is not a show truck but it turns heads everywhere she goes and gets non stop compliments. An absolute pleasure to drive.
Ready to drive anywhere in the country. Runs strong and straight down the highway.

Nice truck, these look better to me than they used to. Not sure I’d want to drive it from TX to VT but good for him.
There is something that does not make sense to me here. He bought the truck in San Antonio TX and drove it to Killington, VT and then put it in the Florida Craig’s List ad in Tampa FL with Killington as the destination?
I think Fountains of Wayne nailed it:

(and as the youtube commentator noted, the whole album is catchy and wonderful)
