New From NC
Over the past 14 years I have had three different Ford trucks. My first truck a 1990 Ranger that, during its life at my house, taught 4 sons to drive a manual transmission. In 2001 I replaced the Ranger with a new F-150 that was the first new truck I have ever owned.

Over the past year I, in my own mind, determined that I “needed” a new truck. I set about my task by looking at all brands and visiting numerous dealerships, which in itself might support my wife’s initial claim that I had “lost my mind”.
Upon completion of my investigation I determined, with clearest conscience I have ever experienced, that I “needed” a new 2004 F-350 Lariat, 6.0L, 4X4, SRW, Wedgwood blue truck, that now, after great amount and perseverance and salesmanship on my part, resides in my driveway when I am not driving it. (I Won)
<O</O]My wife has since confided that my definition of salesmanship closely matches her definition of whining. I explained to her that once again she was mistaken and upon completion of the conversation along with a hearty “Yes Dear” I again feel as if I have won.
<O</O After explaining numerous times how important it is that a “man” must rise above the crowd to see clearly with a vision (that includes seeing the words “Super Duty” backwards in his windshield) we took a trip to Virginia and a second trip to Myrtle Beach that confirmed this fact and of course I once again was correct
<O</ODuring these trips I feel I have provided my wife an environment in which to travel that lets her see the world, which of course consists of I-85 from Dallas, NC to Richmond, VA and all the roads to Myrtle Beach, in the proper perspective.
<O</O Now that she has conceded the truck is “cute”, which proves beyond a shadow of doubt how the definition and proper use of word is different for a man and a woman, I feel like a three time winner in this successful endeavor.
<O</O I can only hope this brings hope to others who have and will continue to find themselves in “need” of the proper vehicle in which to go through life.

Hi Jed and welcome to FTE. Nice introduction! I think it can definitely serve as a good support letter for those who have wives to convince.
