Went to a food truck roundup on Thursday, grabbed a pic of my Chrysler and F150 together.

Friday went to Lunch with my Grandpa. I still love seeking my F150 next to his Sport Trac Adrenalin.

And just to make sure it will never snow this winter, I put my snow tires on tonight.

The F 150 looks pretty nice in front of that Sport Trac. So how was the food truck round up. In my experience they (the food trucks) can be rather hit and miss.

I'm thinking the steelies looked more like a winter wheel tire setup. The new wheels look to pretty.

That was the whole point, I didn't want to sacrifice the looks for half the year. This way the truck looks awesome all year long. It wasn't cheap but well worth it to me

Actually the food was great! They only had 4 trucks as most of them have shut down for winter. Only a few trucks run in the winter. I had a really good Philly with Garlic Fries to die for!


I left my summer tires on my Excursion for now, I'm going to drive it until we get some slick conditions to save the tires on the F-150. The Blizzaks don't like running on dry pavement and will eat up quickly that way.

Well, Maybe I was not as wrong as I thought I was. Played in the snow a little tonight.

I'm with you on that! It was 85 & sunny here today. Too bad it won't stay that way.

Looks great! If my summer tires (Nitto's) were half decent in slick conditions I would have left them on. But they are actually terrible on anything but dry ground and even then they break loose way easily. I wish Goodyear made DuraTrac's in the 22" wheel size I need I'd have a set for summer.


I have parked the F-150 this week as to not wear the tires in dry conditions. I left my summer tires on my Excursion so I'm driving it this week which I don't mind since I've missed daily driving it since getting the F-150.


National Weather Service issued this notice today, I'm sure glad I took Friday off work haha

My aunt and cousin moved to Tampa this summer. My cousin could not handle the heat and humidity and now moved to Nashville, TN (I have no idea why as we have NO connection to that part of the country) I've never been to FL but it's on the list soon.

I'll be in Vegas in 2 weeks for the SEMA show so I'll get a few warm days

I pulled the F-150 in the garage tonight, Looks like things are going to come together from all weather reports for a little snow. I have the day off and plan on doing a bunch of stuff around town weather be damned.
