We like the Slingshot too Randy. Have a dealer right down the road too. Problem is, it's a two seater and there are three of us. If I was to get one for the bride and take it in the RV, then there would be no room for a bike for me. So, two Spyders it is for us.

Are you thinking of getting one?? Whats the ETA??

Ditto on the slingshot. If it's half as good as my 2013 Ranger 900 XP it will be a fun ride. I beat on my 900 pretty hard today. I think it liked it.

I read you on the Spyders... But we're empty nesters now sooooo...

Thinking about it... I have to sell the Camaro first and I may be selling the GT40 also.. Kind of re-booting my stable, so to speak...
Camaro is finished with the cleanup and is ready to be listed in Hemmings. The cover came off the GT and body supplies have been inventoried..








We're headed out for a couple week vacation (driving) so will probably list the Camaro and get back to work on the GT then...

I'm also trying to talk myself out of trading in the F350!

So I'm sitting here at the campground and this guy starts up his King Ranch Superduty. It wasn't until that moment that I realized it was a gas burner. I would've been embarrassed if he had seen the look of shock and disapproval on my face. When I said something to my wife, she gave me the ole "well they can choose to have whatever they want" speech in a tone that seemed to accuse me of being a diesel elitist. is that what we have become Rodney??? Yes, it probably is.

Nothing wrong with gas. Just not in Super Duty for me. I love my wife's gas SUV.

It seems like everyone out here in the DC area has gas trucks. I think they look my diesel and thing "there's an idiot".....

We will see....

I'd just make a call to my friends down at Banks and get a turbo for it... Nothing about the 6.2 is even remotely complex and squeezing another 150hp out of it would make it strong enough to yank the big fella up the hills...
No Delete needed...

Well it sounds good anyway....

To me, there's nothing wrong with gas if you're not towing super heavy. If you are, gas can still do it but it's working too hard to get the job done for my comfort level.

Well, I really like making tuner cars look silly when they try to beat the big truck to the lane merge. I'm not sure that a gas Superduty can do that.
