Hey Everyone,

I just picked up an '89 Ram 50, 2.0, Standard - named her Cinnamon ;) She's got about 170K on her, body is in really nice - no rust! Unfortunately, I have no real history of what's been done to the vehicle but everything appears to be stock (no mods).

I live in Denver and love this state. Originally from Michigan, I grew up racing Honda's (kind of the black sheep for the motor city)... not your typical civic w/ a loud muffler, they ran low 13's naturally aspirated. Not too bad for 4 cylinders and a small budget! Moved to CO to ski champagne powder about 10 years ago and haven't left. Unfortunately, my tools and space here in CO are much more limited than what was available to me in my Dad's 3,000sq.ft garage back in MI. So, I do the best I can with our 1 car garage, hopefully soon that will change! Ohh, did I mention I also have a 1969 Dodge Dart - that's my baby! She is the reason I bought this truck, I need a daily driver while I begin restoring her. But, I've acquired this passion for the truck now too, lol.

I wouldn't consider myself to be an expert mechanic (or even close), but I'm always eager to learn and I'm a hands on type of guy. I love cars, and just about anything with a motor! In 2004, I sold all my cars/projects to move to CO and I'm just now getting the opportunity to have some fun again!

Looking forward to what I have to learn from you all, and being a contributing member to this community!

Cheers :drinkingcheers:

Welcome to the Forum. :)

Great name for your new truck and yes you have a beautiful Dart there. I almost bought one many years ago. Now I am just restoring a '85 TBird since my truck is doing so good after the rebuild. Anyway, get comfortable and enjoy the forum. Ask anything you like about Cinnamon.

Thanks - It's always fun to wrench on something and have a project to work on.
