I've only bought two new rigs in my whole life, and would like to have both back just to sell!

First was a 68 Corvette I bought while in VietNam. Sold it because it was a POS...... Last one I saw go up for sale brought 140K!


Second was a 69 Charger R/T with a 440 six/ pack. Bought new in 69 for $4,200. Ex wife got that one, and her new boyfriend totaled it.........

I have had a couple of new ones, a 74 Mustang II and a 78 Fairmount, both of those I'm glad are gone. The 07 Mustang that I have now had 550 miles on it when I got it, I still like that one.
I still have a 69 Torino GT in the back of the shop, that one belongs to my son!!

Allen, my Torino got stolen in California, when I was stationed there. Never heard a word about it. It was a damn nice car, 390 four speed with AC.

Evening gang.

Crazy windy and rainy here! Trees and branches falling down. The neighbors flowering plum fell over in her yard. It was about 12" diameter and 25' tall.

Drove down to Corvallis and back with the camper without any troubles. The newly installed rear sway bar worked awesome! I'm so glad I finally got one... and dumbfounded that Ford doesn't put one on every truck.

Jim, I highly recommend testing one for your truck it really helps with the camper.

Just driving around empty yesterday I could already feel the difference. With the wind and rain today, hauling the camper was a piece of cake. Thanks Pop for your help too.

Glad to have been of help, however insignificant.

We're all learning this machine together, which makes FTE all the more beneficial, and a truly rewarding endeavor for me.

Chris, glad to hear you are alright. Keep hanging on out there.

My BIL was at Tillamook Bay over the weekend. I guess the Coast Guard was escorting people off the bay.

With the winds we have been having there is no way I would have been on Tillamook Bay, there is no fish out there worth dieing over.
