My V10 F250 just got put back into daily driver service. I had it in the garage for a few months and was driving my '88 Mustang GT to save money on gas. But then my wife started driving the F250 and she doesn't treat it as nicely as I do, so I took it back. Gas ain't THAT expensive!!

Blue has been my DD since purchased July 08 with 58k, my commute is a whole .2 miles each way, yeah I know I could walk, but why when I have Blue!...lol
In the last 3 years and 4 months I have put on 18k miles, most long trips have been to FTE GTG's and towing the boat to the lake maybe a dozen times a year which is 8 miles round trip.
I love my truck, you can ask my wife who refers to Blue as the other women.

I've just started driving mine more than just to tow the racecar on the weekends. I've had it for 7 years and I've put just 35,000 miles on it since. I was looking at trading it for a new 6.7, but even if I drive it everyday to work, which is 45 miles round trip, it would cost me around $80 a week in gas. On the other hand, if I got the new one, between fuel and payments, it would cost me around $235 a week! I've got to figure out a way to keep her going forever. I've done the exhaust studs, ball joints and hubs, fluid filmed it and try to keep it out of the salt. I do have a 1984 Crown Vic and a 2001 Olds Aurora that I use, but the truck is too much fun, and I love the sound of it!

When I lived in Phoenix, there were more Minnesota plates in the winter than Arizona plates! Can't say I blame you, if I had the money, I'd be there for the beautiful winters as well.
