A woman delivers a set of identical twins and decides to give them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal.
Her husband responds,

Greetings All!
I stopped by a local Ford Dealer yesterday, and began a search for a new F150 SCREW. Unfortunately, what they have to offer is not what I want. It seems that nobody can drive a pickup in Sussex County unless it has a 4X4 with a V8! They did offer to take $7,000 off of a $40,000 XLT, but after taking it home and test driving it, I much prefer the ride of my 07 Regular Cab much better. Maybe I'll just put a trailer hitch on my TownCar instead!

When I bought the 07, it was a compromise between what I wanted, and what I wanted to spend. I got a deal that I couldn't refuse (1/3 off) and made it work out, but.......... it was never the truck that I wanted. This time, it won't be a platinum (which I'd like to have!), but it will be much closer to what I want in a truck that gets driven more like a car than a truck.
The Ecoboost is a premium engine and the price reflects it. The 3.7L is more than adequate for my uses, I won't be pulling anything heaver than a couple of motorcycles on a trailer, so I'd rather put the money into more creature comforts and better mileage. Truthfully, I shouldn't worry about gas mileage. As my 07 is 6 years old and has less than 48,000 miles on it, I guess I could easily justify the 6.2L, but being Scots-Irish, I prefer to keep me Gold and me Lucky Charms in sight and safe and sound!
I can take much better care of them than the Dealers!!!!
