your opinions: Goat or no Goat

I have straight hood to replace my hail damaged one. The new one has the goat hood ornament and I was wondering what everybodys opinion as to whether they look good or not.

I've looked for years to find a reasonably clean 89 or 90 just to have that hood ornament!

I got two rams that I picked up in a little rinky-dink auto parts "salvage" shop in a border town in Mexico. One is plastic and one is cast-aluminum I think. Im waiting for the day I have money for a new hoot and a paint job and one of them is going on the hood.

I say go for it. I dont see many with it and a hood ornament is something that I dont think you find on any vehicle now-a-days, except maybe a Rolls Royce.

I sold my goat on ebay. I thought that it was kind of annoying to look at when driving for some reason and I took it off right away. Now that I think about it four years later, I actually wish that I would have kept it!
