Ah, that makes sense! Coincidentally, the wife has had a BSEG since the day she got her X. Never seen a woman that likes the sound of a Flowmaster so much, or for that matter, wide open throttle on the highway.
Thanks for the explanation!

yep shes got the fever of the bseg club. a big sh-t eating grin club. man is it catchie. any one find a way to loose it yet?
best wishes bob that truck you most likely will never get away from her unless it needs some fixing.
as to wifes mine is the same way,lead foot and i can't let her drive mine unless i'm with her. a sad note she got a 80 in a 55 last week with her liberty, guess i'll have to find a tuner that lets me road speed it to 65.

She was most impressed that the X will hold 80 on the freeway with no problem.
I can't seem to wipe the grin off, but I'm not sure I want to. You know the saying, If momma ain't happy, nobody's happy!
I do get to drive it though. She works nights mostly, and with my flexible work schedule, most times I spend the mornings taking the kids to school. Not much wheel time, but I'll take it.
And you're right about the repairs. It's her truck until it needs something, then it's "ours". I'm OK with that though, she works very hard (she's a nurse in a hospital ER), and has worked hard to get this truck. She deserves it, and all the BSEG's it induces.

Well, North Providence is not as rural. Sometimes I wish it would take me longer to get to places, but it is nice having everything at your fingertips.
Here in RI, we suffer from the small state syndrome. If it takes longer than a half hour to get somewhere, it counts as a "road trip".
Not sure on other regions, but around here nurses are in huge demand. She could be working every day of the week if she wanted to, double shifts too. I won't let her though, that's too much. She feels bad saying no to them, but she needs down time too!
Although, if she worked more, I could get MY Excursion that much faster..... :P

My wife's Cougar has one - pretty much a half-convertable, to me. It's open whenever the temp is above 55 degrees.
My first Triumph TR7 had one too. Not electric of course
Darn-near the entire roof was gone when it was open.
