Hard to beat an old ride that looks as good as this one.
No, you weren't stating a fact when you called the other trucks "POSERS", that was opinion....

But opinion is different from name calling and like I always tell my kids "If you have nothing nice to say, keep your pie hole closed and put your .02 in your pocket because nobody wants it".

tooterturtle is starting off with a positive reputation.
My saying "posers" was in jest and all in fun. A little smack talk is playfull, Tin-Man gets it. But saying I insulted your truck and giving negitive feedback seems a bit excessive, so be it!
Seems some of you get your panties in a bunch pretty quickly.

Todds79 is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
Wow! Didn't know the old truck would stir up such a ruckus! And--it looks like the word is out in a lot of the threads. Greywolf, looks like you started a monster!!

On a different note--I had asked earlier about entering different trucks in later rounds. This is one of the trucks I have...
Don't know if this link will work, if not just search "hook em' up" on youtube.
We race it this weekend, and I am thinking of getting at the start line to get some launch shots--We don't call it Hook em' up for nothin!

Tell me what you think--yea or nay.

I can guaruntee my truck will look good in 20 or 30 years. I take care of my stuff.

I can also guaruntee that my new "poser" truck will drag yours around the block all day long and never get tired.
