2. Car of the week

My personal pick of the week!

2005 DODGE RAM 1500

Final bid: $6,600

I wish I could buy it for $6,600! It was not SOLD. It is a dealer owned vehicle. Usually I avoid cars like that, but this one is special enough to order inspection. Recently was sold for $20,225.
Here are some interesting facts: with a top speed of about 154 MPH, the Dodge Ram SRT-10 broke both a Guinness World Record and a Sports Car Club of America record for the world's fastest production truck in July 2004. True American Legend!
