Fantasy Car Build ?
I work at a dodge dealer and the problem is, your average customer wants all that crap on their cars, power everything, gps, fancy wheels, etc.
Can you imagine having to roll down the windows yourself! Thats blasphemy!
The less thinking, learning and working people have to do for themselves, the better they like it.
I hear you. I was in the market for a new shop truck a few weeks ago. The dealer asked what I was looking for. I told him I was looking for a 1/2 ton, regular cab, short bed, 4wd, with a hemi and a towing package, a work truck. He said, do you mean one with the small rear doors? I said No, I want one that has NO rear doors. Regular cab. Ohhh, he said, those are hard to find!
My nephew, who is alot better with a computer than I am did a search of over 6000 new trucks that were advertised on the internet. Guess how many he found? Several loaded up ones, but only TWO that were basic models. I got the one that came out of AR, the other was on the east coast somewhere.
Even as basic as mine is, it has traction control, a button on the shifter to manually shift it, a knob instead of a lever to put it in 4wd, a tire pressure warning light, etc.
As mentioned, a lot of that stuff is government mandated. Unfortunately it's only going to get worse as the government insists that we do less of our thinking for ourselves.
One thing, I sure would like to see that 390 horse hemi in something that was 1500 lbs lighter! That would be awesome!
