Mine unfortunately inherited our trait Tom. When she was a baby in her crib she had a blanket with owls on it. She only had a few words down at this point but clearly knew something was wrong if her blanket was facing down when being tucked in at night. I can still hear her yelling at me... "Owls wrong way dad... OWLS WRONG WAY!"

The funny part is this. She was way too young to have picked it up from me. That means the whole nature vs. nurture thing is leaning toward nature....

How's things with you buddy?
I have not been part of this whole process, so kick me in the nuts if I overstep...but, I think keeping your truck and having fun with it was THE best decision! And now we get to live vicariously watching you mod and play around with it. You can make it as much or as little as you want.

My wife and I are both OCD, but only one of our three kids picked up any of it, she’s only about 1/3 as OCD as us.

With the virus panic in full swing this summer, it will open up a lot of opportunity for those with a decent cash position. Travel will be dirt cheap. Deals will appear on products and services as venders feel the pinch. Etc. I remember back between 2008 and 2012... man were there some killer deals on powersports, boats, and RV's. I picked up snowmobiles and ATV's for around 4k off MSRP. With the economy so good of late, the best you can hope for is $1-1500 off. While I'd like to see the economy keep rocking, a little desperation from dealers would be fun again too. As they say, there's an upside to every market... or as Kenny said, "You gotta know when to hold em', know when to fold em'..."

It also helps to know when your wife will LET you spend some money.

So regarding ForScan...looks like I can load up a profile. Anyone confirm that and willing to send me a profile to get me started?

Or help me out with Bambi mode (fogs with brights), lower TPMS threshold, stop the horn chirping when I leave the truck, DPF %, whatever I haven't figured out yet that the cool kids have???
