We had a guy go around us this morning, and flew down the road. when we got up to the light, he slid across the road into the guardrail. Steam was coming out. We didn't stop. I even put the window down to flip him off. Stupid people get what they deserve

Thats a fact. I do the same when people fly past me on the road and I see them pulled over later.

No, just an oil change and state inspection. Took me 10 minutes just to pick the thing up off the ground! I don't know why Ford has to make all their trucks so difficult to pick up.

I see you picked up by the crossmember. I bet the weight would fold the pinchweld over like tissue paper.
