Well my fellow dent lovers just giving yall a heads up that gas prices will be really high, I currently work on the oil rigs and the price of the barrel of oil has gone up lately and will continue to rise we will be seeing another oil boom, so even though gas prices will climb keep your trucks id hate to see yall part ways with your toys, or as I call them my babies.

Yeah me and a buddy have been talkin about this alot recently. I know as for him and I, we plan on bearing it out since they are our daily drivers... the passion runs deep with us. Though I too would like to see people keeping their trucks.

Yeah there really is alot of people that use these trucks as DD's. Especially when you get out of the suburbs and into the farmland. Tikkakoski and I were out lookin at trucks today, and when we got out into our local farmland, there was an old ford literally every eight mile or so. Made for quite the pleasant drive if I do say so myself.

I had planned on rebuilding my factory 360 but seriously considering swapping in a 300 when the time comes. These oil barons and the games they play with gas prices make me sick. The *******s need us just as badly as we need them. Its a supply and demand business, there is obviously no shortage of oil and gas, you can buy all you want, you just have to pay through the nose to get it. A shortage is when you have gas lines at the pumps and they are running out.

Haha my 94 f150 4x4 302 only got a mile or two to the gallon better than my 78 f250 4x4 460 gets! Hows that for a gas saver?
