Any of you folks that can get a gas job to perform the same tasks as a 
***mins day in day out for !/4 million miles without some serious repairs 
I'd like to hear about.

How about a 2500 or 3500 ***mins and a gas job  and then go hot shot it. 
Give me a shout at 1/4 million miles and let me know what your expenses's 
are.
HTF do you compare a dodge dart to a ***mins????<G>
