This talk is getting insane!

A lot of people on this board need to go somewhere else. A lot of people, not everyone, but a lot of people come on this board to "out-do" each other. I think they are missing the point....we ALL own Dakotas here...whether it is a 2.5, 3.9, 4.7, 5.2, 5.9, or Magnum or pre-magnum, or 2wd/4wd, etc. I come to this board to see how things are progressing between all of these types of Dakotas and enjoy talking with everyone on how-tos, etc etc. We each bought our specific Dakota for our own reasons, so why the need to always bash someone? One good example is I met someone who could just afford his 1st new truck, loves the Dakota, and got an SXT for its value and is wanting to get into some mods for the first time. Someone like this posts a question on how to spruce up his sixer and someone jumps all over him saying if you want to make it better get a V8? Basically, just making that person who is a Dakota enthusiast second guess his purchase. That really bothers me.

Anyway, I just felt that needs to be said because I am a Dakota enthusiast and an overall Dodge enthusiast. Every Dakota is great in my opinion for the reason that it is a Dakota, why you got it with a V8 or a V6 or a manual instead of an auto is your preference, and if I were to ask you why did you go with "this" over "that" I am sure you could write quite a few reasons why your Dakota fit you when you bought it.

Anyway, I enjoy discussing the differences and the performances and the overall fun we are having with our Dakotas, but I, and I am sure quite a few other enthusiasts on here like myself, are getting a little tired of the bashing that goes on.

Enjoy your Dakotas!

HEAR..HEAR. Well said and I couldn't agree more. I was reading a post the other day and one individual waded in with a list of all the HI-PO mods the guy NEEDED to put on to make the truck run when a simple part change woulda' fixed it. Now lets all hear it for a midsize truck that whips anything Ford or Chevy can put out for interior room and offers a V8 for those of us that want them.

I'm glad someone is speaking up about this. Not everyone on this board is looking to go 150 mph with a truck. Some have problems that need fixing. Some want to know what works and what doesn't as far as upgrades and some want to sell stuff. I just think we need to be a little more considerate for everyone on this site.

Wouldn't want any other!

Ernie. What you said is correct, but the problem is that most of the "trolls" or "flamers" or whatever you want to call them are not even Dakota owners. They're young kids that don't have anything else to do but go onto a site and try to pi$$ people off as much as they can. Therefore, you can reason with them until you're blue in the face and will do no good. Eventually they will goad you into flaming back. That's their whole plan. Your best bet is to just keep posting like it didn't even happen. This site has no moderation, so anyone can come on and say pretty much anything they want with complete anonimity. There are other sites out there that require a membership(free, I might add) and have moderators for each category. That way, everyone knows who you are if you flame someone, and you are held accountable by the other members. The flaming is pretty much non-existent on those sites. Oh sure, you have to put up with little annoyances like Intense because he is everywhere.JK Greg. Go check out dakotatrucks.com or dakotausa.com. The people on those sites won't slam you because you can't afford a Quad Cab with a V8 and will give you honest answers to your questions. I'm not saying there aren't any good people on this site. Sometimes you just have to wade through too much crap to get to them.

I wouldn't go as far as saying they are all young kids. Sure there are a lot of kids that need to get a life, but there are just as many of you old farts on here that need to get a life. I'm just about 19, I try to be civil on here, even when some guys are real jacka$$'s, and I've gotten some good info from guys my age or younger. Saying that all the BS that goes on on this site is due to "young kids" is kinda like my grandparents sitting around blaming all the worlds traffic problems on teenagers, meanwhile them and their friends are causing accidents and hitting mailboxes daily. Stupid ppl are stupid ppl, regardless of age. Just thought I'd add my $.02 to the conversation. Oh, and cuz this is a V8 board, I do love mine ;-)

Piss off loser. How does it feel to be that same douche bag that everyone on here has been talking about. The only feasable reason I can see for you identifying yourself with a v8 as being better then v6's is because you must have the worlds smallest penis and are trying to make up for it. Hey, I hear there are surgerys out there for people like yourself, and they can't cost much more then your truck. (if someone comes on here with actual prices I will crap myself laughing). That being said, I love my V8 cuz it really gets the jobs done that I need it for, and its pretty fast when I need it to be. I didn't say there was anything wrong with V6's. Why don't you do the world a favor, just dig a hole and die in it, and save the world from you contaminating it. And don't come on here, cuz you and your micropenis is not impressing anyone.
