Taking this for a drive would not be boring.  A beautiful truck.

SRT6 or GTFO. Had a neighbour that has one with lambo doors, loves that car. I dont know why but good on him for not having yet another Porsche or Miata...

The fact that you even compare that to a Porsche or Miata is hilarious. I'd take a Miata over that every day of the week.
I am just saying I applaud someone who dares to be different and not yet another Miata or Porsche owner for their toy car. Variety is good.

 :hello:
Yeah, so boring :rofl2:
Not saying boring, it is obvious that the Miata and any Porsche are fantastic, and have been forever top choices for enthusiast cars. That is the point.

Just  :stick:

Looking at a sale list up for bids. A company is offering a bunch of 2017-18 Dodge Grand Caravans. Nice options and lowish km (>160k) but they’re all Propane powered. Not sure about you all, but I’d say this severely limits the appeal of these vans. Must still be some economic benefits of a LPG conversion? I remember years back many fleets switched over because it was around 20 cents per litre. Now around .80 cents. Would take years to pay off the cost to convert....odd.

Maybe they had a propane filling station on site and a big enough fleet? The kms don't see worth it ...

Odd.

And as you say very little value to random consumer. I won't want a propane vehicle. PITA. I believe the tanks have a certification time limit.

^ Yup, that's what it is.  Appraised at 10k.  I think its awful, and a terrible idea.

That HAD to have been a factory order.  Ain't no way any dealer ordered on for the lot.

Stick integration looks freakin' good in there - too bad they're so rare. Fun things can be found when using the "manual" filter  :)

It's Quebec, it's entirely possible that was on the lot.
