I win the stupid award for the week!

i apparently didnt tighten the fill plug on the rear axle, and it ejected. there is 75w140 all over the undercarriage now.

i am eating pizza now, then i will be refilling the rear and powerwashing the car.

Plus the f150 would have a lighter frame and a engine that is way lighter. The idi's way around 1000lbs i've heard.
