Talking I've had it with my f150!!

I am tired of people staring at me when driving my f150 like a monkey in a cage. I am also tired of pulling up to a red light next to a Chevy, Nissan or even a Dodge hemi and having them just wave and pull off slowly. I am also tired of sitting around all day just thinking of some reason I need to go some where just to drive this truck. Most of all I am tired of those young girls pulling up beside me at a red light and smiling only to see an old red neck sitting behind the wheel, but the funny thing is that even after she sees me she keeps on smiling. I think this truck hypnotizes them or something. This truck has been one trouble after another. I think I will check into the lemon law. I have never owned a truck with so many problems. Oh well, what the heck, I keep telling my wife this truck is nothing but trouble and so far it is working. She says she never wants to drive it. he-he-he-he-he

I couldn't believe the title when I saw the poster, because you always seemed to like your truck. Reading the pardody has made me feel better.

lol I do LOVE my truck!!! :-) I just wanted to lighten up the room a little bit with some humor :-P The only thing I don't like about my truck is a car sitting underneath my back bumper! Happend a few days ago as a car hit me from behind, but all in all, just had to re-aline the back bumper :-)
Have a good one guys!! Hope you love your truck as much as I do!!!

the real test is to let your wife drive the truck and see if the young girls smile at her too. if they dont, its you they are smiling at. if they do, then its the truck, and your liable to have more fun with that truck than you imagined lol.

Thanks for the laugh! Good way to start the day; almost as good as starting the day with a nice drive. ;-)

Gotta say that after 7,700 miles I still get the thrill of this truck. I even go out to sit in it for lunch a couple times a week listen to the radio. Worth every penny so far.

The only thing I'm tired of is being in the "Stan" and not being able to drive my truck. I'm waiting for Ford to ship over an FX4 for a real-world off-road comparison with an H1....Until then, this site will do. I'll continue to live vicariously through the rest of the poster that love their truck. I tend to skip the ones who biT$#.

I can somewhat relate to the original post. Wife and I were out and a couple of 20 somethings pulled up next to me. Well to say the least they got my attention. The wife asked if something was wrong since I was staring out the window.

No honey, everything's fine. Just thinking about Sunday's game. Fine she said and reminded me the lght was green.

mjbesen310,

There is one more problem with this truck, but you haven't discovered it yet.

When your wife drives this truck, she doesn't want to give it back. Whatever you do, don't let her drive it.

John

Talking

What I really hate about mine is all the maintenance I have to do on it. Saturday, instead of going skiing, I'll be laying under my truck replacing the faulty factory muffler with an AeroTurbine 2525.

The muffler that came with the truck is far to quiet and creates too much back pressure and Ford won't do a darn thing about it.

I don't understand car manufacturers unwillingness to address design problems with their vehicles.

Cool

Don't let the wife drive it is right! I never thought I'd see the day when my wife would make excuses to drive my truck instead of the PT, but it happens daily now. Last light she started campaigning to drive the truck to worked a night or two every week, this could get bad.
