Well the dash is cracked into about 20 pieces, the headliner is falling down, the seat is ripped and the carpet is about 8 different shades of spilled coffee and Coca-Cola but it hides that stuff well.
I would say " just Dodge things", but maybe you should spring for some " professional" treatment on the seats.
I did that on the one I had here.
Sent it to the crusher. :)
Cant get infected by it if its in a cube waiting for a boat to whatever 3rd world country wants their cheap steel back...

Wow you actually sent it to the crusher? Dang.

But yeah, typical Dodge stuff. None of it has bothered me that much except maybe the dash. New ones are $300. Headliners are easy and the carpet might clean up. I've had mixed success pressure washing them in the past. It gets all the dirt out but getting them dry takes forever. The seat might be a junkyard item. Eventually it'll all get fixed but I'm trying to watch spending a lot right now. I just left my last job and on Monday I'll be starting at community college to get my commercial driver's license.

Eating them is fine, but people have been killed or injured many times by friendly cows. You can not even imagine just how strong they are. They rub up against you and accidently crush you. Be safe out there.
I do.
Dad always had names for all of the cows and bulls he had.
Just because you have a name for them doesnt mean you don't recognise what they are.
Dont put yourself between them and any hard object, and dont imagine that you can get around their legs or anywhere near where that ANY sentient being might be sensitive about without risking serious injury.
Those things are killing machines that we managed to somehow "domesticate".
Never has been a comfortable arrangement for those that have lived long enough to fully understand it.

Engine will probably live on, but the rest of its done for.
Actually had a problem with the title.
Daughter in law went to all that trouble to register a 1998 Dodge Stratos instead of that truck.
Title was lost.(98 Stratos was also a family car, so they didn't notice the error)
Worked out for the best.
Glad you didnt inherit this cursed pile of crap.
Think yours will actually turn out nice.
Glad you made a better career choice Joe.

Dashes all crack.
I'd pull it out and fiberglass it back together. (On the back)
Wouldnt be any further issues that way, and it would be the original dash still.
Dont worry about the seat and carpet.
Rent a Stanley Steamer and clean that bish up.
Then you can freely fart in it, knowing its your own brand you'll be breathing in.:)

I know the body was banged up but man the lack of rust had me drooling. I'd have made that one just as nice but I'm happy with the one I've got. Shame about the title. Paperwork is the one thing I can't fix.

The CDL is something I've wanted to do for some time, just been waiting for the right time. I can't keep doing what I have been doing, it's dull work and it's wearing on me physically. I don't want to be bathing in Bengay and eating Aleve like it's candy when I'm 40.

Good on you bro. Takes some stones to chuck in an earner and go retrain. Best of luck with it.

Mornings men. Got to head in early today for a safety stand down. Apparently someone in my industry got hurt doing something, probably stupid, so we get the safety lecture. At least we get paid to be there. Weekend is close enough to feel.
