2009 Dodge Ram 1500: X Games Warrior

Last year, I rolled up over to the X Games in our long-term Benz C300. That was completely out of whack as all the surrounding vehicles were tall-boy pickup trucks as shown below.

This year, I showed up in our long-term Ram 1500 pickup.

And guess what? I was out of place again...

I ended up accidently parking in Subaru nation.
What should I take to the 2010 X Games? A Ford Fiesta in honor of Kenny Brack's victory?

Who know's what lot I will end up in next year.

Check out some of the action shots from the 2009 X Games Rally Final.

K, since there's a Forester in the picture, I have a reason to bring this up....

Is the Forester the international lesbian car?

Subarus- quite possibly the cars you can park your Chrysler vehicle next to and gloat about superior assembly, materials quality, and reliability. (Having owned a recent Subaru, I can confirm this.)

I think the correct name is Lesbaru!

People, please use quotation marks when you are quoting somebody else's post so I don't to re-read it thinking you wrote it. It is just forum etiquette and common sense.

Lifted trucks with aftermarket exhaust. I was next to one yesterday with my window down and I had to roll it up because the loud, droning exhaust was blatting right in my ear.
