Funny thing about Los Alamos, it is the only place I've lived were you can be talking to a total stranger and they tell you "...as a matter of fact, I am a rocket scientist!"

Where is everyone from?
Hi everybody...sorry for my bad english...
I'm from Brussels in Belgium, the center of Europe.
I'm so crazy that I drive a 1997 F150 Lariat flareside V8 - 4,6 (equiped with gas, in belgium) directly imported from Florida.
Before to buy that monster, I tried GMC, Dodge and Chevy...but the Ford is the most comfortable at any speed (100 miles speed on the highways) and I don't want any car or truck else in the rest of my life...

GOD! Can you picture some poor sicker tearing along in a Fiat at 60 or so seeing the front end of an F-150 ripping up behind him at 100! I would pay real money to see the expression on his face then. That would be one for the books.

...that you say happen to me every day and I like to see the faces loking at the monster.
In Brussels town, all the cars stop to let me free way and I must say that I enjoy it...in time, years ago, I drived a BMW 635 CSI and nobody let me free way...hum !
On the highway I normally drive at 80 miles speed (130 km/heure)...in the city, at 30 miles speed. Sometimes, on the highway, I enjoy to "quickdown" when somebody try to go faster with a mercedes or a BMW...it's funny to see her face after...
Life is a joke..enjoy it !

You are right with the price of the fluel...but when I bought the monster, I equiped him directly with gas
1 liter fluel here = 1,15 dollar
1 liter gas here = 0,27 dollar
at 80 miles on the road, the consume of fluel is 15 liters and the consume with gas is 21 liters...than...yes, legs and arms and...but when you love you don't count...
now it is here 11h45, I am tired and I go to sleep
See you

What do you mean by Fluel ?
What do you mean by Gas?
Do you mean Fuel as in Gasoline ?
Do you mean Gas as Natural gas ?

Well I'm impressed. Love the colors. Makes it that much more intimidating to all the little cars. That LP gas tank in the bed takes up a lot of room but there still seems to be enough room to fit an old CV2 or beetle in there. I only have a little (around here) Ranger XL but it's all I need for work and play. Unfortunately I tend to put a lot of miles on a vehicle 30,000 or more per year. See my gallery I got this truck 6 weeks ago and it had 7,015 miles on the clock, it now has over 13,000.
e-mail me direct so we don't tie up this message board if you want to continue this conversation.

Whew. . . . there for a while I thought I was the only one living in New Mexico, but I see there are a couple from Albuquerque and one from Los Alamos (worked there for several years -- weird town, strange people).
I'm in Las Cruces, New Mexico, some 45 miles north of the Mexican border. You have to watch your truck closely here; they often go for joy-rides to Juarez and never come back.
Weather is mild (lots of sunshine), average is 70, with some 95s in the summer and some 10s in the winter (not very often). Snows occassionaly, but never stays long.
I'm 63, so I've retired at least once. My wife and I own a small business (pays the bills), but we are seriously considering selling out and moving to somewhere in southern Missouri where there is more water.
Eddie Wilson Bad attitudes
1959 F100 (removed the 390/T10 -- still waiting that 351W/T5)
1970 F100 (390/T18 -- daily work horse)
1955 Mercury Montclair 4-door (wife's car; she wants a daily driver)
1955 Mercury Montclair 2-dor (waiting for the 429/C-6 sitting on the garage floor)
