Illinois Chapter May 2018 BS thread

April showers didn't bring may flowers this year. Was the driest and coldest April on record.
I think that we are done with Winter finally.
With no further ado, lets get to BS'n.

I didn't see that article, but I did know they had a 6 Cyl diesel going in the F150's..

Just means diesel prices will be going up again...

I would hate to see the F150 go up in price to match the Super Duty. My neighbor bought a new gmc because Ford wouldn't talk to him. Couldn't find a decent price on a used Ford either.
