If I could have a new truck I would step down to a F150 with all of the shlt.

My 91 F150 rode like a Lincoln.

I really like my F250 but Patty bitches too much about it. Think I'll keep it anyway, no way could I afford another truck on SS.

Patty learned to drive on a handshaker. My F150 was a manual.

All of her cars were manuals until she got the Windstar, no more manuals after that.

There are a few guys at the Ford garage that can't drive a manual. I've had to move my own truck before if no one was available.

I wish that they would leave FTE as it was.

I can't get to the user CP without it flitting all over the place.

The clown didn't push in the clutch when he realized he wasn't lined up with the door, it went on in and knocked the mirror off on the door jamb. That cost Ford a new $650.mirror
