another thing....hauling around 125KV gensets is NOT something I'd like to try in an aero, especially when the trailer brakes aren't working. some of those gensets had us getting a much better look at the pavement in a hard stop than I'd like to think about. imagine the weight it takes to get the super duty in a nose down attitude. and having the tread peel off a trailer tire at speed was only one of our many adventures in hurricane country. it was a fun trip even so. I got to see some old friends I haven't seen in years, and get spoiled in those F250's!

But the aero made it though it all.

ya, but where else in the continental USA can one drive along the beach boulevard in a Mustang convertible and see almost naked young beach bunnies in thong hot pink bikinis yeararound, not even warm enough in S Cal. for that

Xuzme,
did you get all the thong bikinis cleaned out of the Super Duty Ford before you pulled in the home driveway after TDY? the darn things always hang up in the seat back springs

Geez X, you had way too much fun in FL, with all of this non-aero talk asociated with you, and how you have been straying off topic in other posts.

I find that if you untie them before removal, they don't hang up as bad. untying with your teeth is, of course, optional.
