Dave Thaler
(aka ntadime)

Thanks for the nomination. "The Grape" is a 1998 SLT Plus with FT4WD, 4 wheel antilock brakes, rear air, tow package with Ram's head logo hitch cover, side window shades and front bug deflector. It's taken us over 72,000 perfect miles. The beautiful model standing next to it is my 14 yr old daughter, Elyse.

Editor's Note: Dave was nominated as Durangoer Of The Month by the DOC Board of Directors in recognition of his quick thinking and selflessness during a winter snow storm when his neighbor went into labor. Dave and his 'D' made quick work of the snow, ice, and hills to see that mother and child arrived at the hospital safely and with only minutes to spare. Baby Jack was born healthy that day. As Dave so aptly pointed out in his response to being nominated for DOTM, "So much for the SUV-terrorist connection."
