15 hours... lol.

Today was a good day. I got the F150 ready to be traded in, with the exception of the push plates. This involved an exhaust swap and a ton of other stuff.. got about $7 in change out of it.

Tomorrow is the Ranger which will be even easier. I'm guessing that after the change from both trucks I can go out and buy something for the new truck. I'm thinking of having the windows tinted, any ideas on what it costs around here to have a regular cab truck's side and back windows tinted?

good morning every one, truck should be out of the shop today, discovered the shop that charged me for a full rebuild on the tranny last year never even went in the case, appears they only played in the pan and worked on the valve body at most. So now everything internals new clean and upgraded to the heaviest duty parts available. Also dscovered while on the lift 1 front axle joint was ready to snap so changed both joints and seals while in the air.

G'Morning all!

I gotta get me a car, these $90 fill ups are getting old fast. I did a quick look at what's out there for 2500 or less. I was thinking an old Focus for the mileage then I saw a V6 Mustang for roughly the same price. Both cars were roughly '03 vintage I think. What do ya think do I give up some fuel mileage for cool factor?

Anybody have any experience with the 3.5l V6?
