I gotta apologize for that bump. I thought it was for a real gtg lke we used to have.
Had I known there were sidebets, I wouldnt've bumped.
We do need to get the usuals and invite others, many new folks are local.
I ain't heard of anybody havin' an aversion to cold beer n bbq.

Its no trailer queen and I've driven this truck as far away as New Jersey on one trip and Virginia on another. However, it is not a junker, work truck, high mileage truck, plain Jane, rusty fun off-roader, or standard F150. I drive it and have fun with it all the time. However, its a rare truck and I'm now trying to keep frivolous miles off of it because I want to enjoy it on the weekends for years to come. This isn't a truck which can be easily replaced with another just like it, especially since 2008 is the last model for it.
I've got a Powerstroke, and a trailer. I bought them both to use them. If I'm driving 100+ miles each way to a location I'm not driving my 8 mpg Roush, and racking up mileage just to watch the lack of scenary on the Interstate. If I'm going to a track I'm putting it on the trailer and taking the family in the Powerstroke (its a little roomier than the Roush). The Roush will arrive cooled down for maximum performance (superchargers put out more power when cooler).
Besides, how else am I going to bring both my Ford trucks?

Yeah, that's where I'd like to do it. Make a day of it. Heck, we could do some serious tailgating at the track... I'd be happy to grill up some burgers and hot-dogs.

I know I'm in 'Bama but I'm from Georgia. Smith Station is just across the river from Columbus. (By the way -- Country's BBQ on Mercury Drive and 13th Street BBQ are world class BBQ shacks. ANd if you like it so hot it leaves blisters you can try Chicken Comers!) Anyway, pls include me on the Commerce GTG. I'd love to drive up and check out all the members' rides.

look dude. just because you have more money than sense doesnt give you the right to down talk any ones truck. you have to think, most of the trucks that you listed in your post are what make up 95% of your members. What you said was disrespectful and rude. I never said that what one does with thier truck was wrong, but i sure wouldnt do it. My truck might not be a limited edition roush, but i will bet that it has more value than your mind could ever fathom. how you take this information is up to you, but i still dont think that because you are a moderator, this gives you any more right tro voice your opinion than anyone else. oh, and on another note, with the hater tots, my dad has a harley f-150 and a harley f-250, and thats just to start. and the f-150 has over 250 thousand miles. we arent afraid to drive em. so dont bash someone till you have the whole story.
