One truck is a 2003 F-150 5.4L Extended Cab FX4 Flareside. The only mod it has is V-Force exhaust.

The other truck I drive is a 1997 F-150 Regular Cab 4X4 Off-road Flareside. It has Flowmasters and a K&N air filter.

1997-2003 Flareside F-150s are my favorite trucks.

Well its in my signature but my daily driver is the SHO. Its got ~83,000 miles on it and merging on the highway is always fun. Its my little racecar.

I haven't picked up the truck yet, just bought it. The engine was rebuilt 12,000 miles ago. Its badged as an f250 and it has the dana 60 rear but the front is a 44 with 5 lugs, so that is going to get replaced for one with 8.

I've wanted a truck so long i don't think i'll be driving the SHO much once i get my truck on the road.

Well, just picked up some wheels today to replace my Bronco. Got it at wholesale price, too!

You're looking at the new owner of a '99 Dodge Legend Conversion Van. 360 V8, 250hp/335tq, power everything, TV, VCR, and, ladies and gentlemen, a bed. Nobody's daughters are safe anymore

I suppose I'll stick my PS2 in there, maybe a DVD player, and a mini fridge. I'm debating whether or not to get glasspacks, too...

Did I mention nobody's daughers are safe anymore?

hahahaha. I've always wanted a big ol' ******* wagon. Not necessarily to make fathers unhappy, but moreso to have something comfortable to take on trips and what not. I still love the old 80's style Econolines. Around here they're in the bargain hunter for $800 or less.

Don't go too crazy with the chicks though. Remember, chances are their father's have weapons and your van can only get away so fast... Just play it smart!

First car - 97 f-150 ext cab 5.4L 2wd it took anything i threw at it. Traded it in because the body had taken a beating from driving through the woods.

second car - 99 crown victoria this replaced the truck but then found out i couldnt stand driving a car

third car - 80 chevy 1500 biggest mistake of my life i have to fix it and put it up for sale because its just taking up space and money

forth car - 04 ranger bought this one because of the problems the chevy was having and needed 4X4. Found out it was way to small for me and traded it in.

fifth car - 99 F-350 psd CC LB 4X4 best vechical ive ever owned!

Yeah, actually the roadtripping was the appeal to me too...it just sounded cooler to make it out like being the pimp van of the century teehee. Besides, if daddy comes out with the scattergun, I'll just shoot back! And I'm sure the bed and the curtains will come in handy sometime!

Seriously though, it's pretty sweet. It rides beautifully, has seats like sofas, and is super quiet. Pretty stable too. I was planning a road trip next month, this'll be perfect. Even better, the thing was METICULOUSLY maintained with full records of everything, and the interior is immaculate. And, I noticed today that the exhaust note outside is actually pretty nice - it's got a nice bark when you start it, has a baudy little rumble at idle, yet with the factory muffler is still quiet enough to lend a sense of refinement to it. I may drive it for a while and flip it for a few extra bucks, or I may keep it - either way I think it was a good buy.

Mine - 2000 Ford Focus LX 5-spd...105k miles
Mom's - 2000 Ford Taurus SES 24v...65k miles
Dad's - 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 Supercab 4.0 5-spd...13k miles

I drive my parents' cars every once and a while, but mostly my Focus...which I'm working on making quicker.

My first car was an '00 Focus ZTS. Thoroughly decent little car for what it was, but econoboxes are not my style, and I'd never have dreamed of trying to make it fast...same as with trucks or my van. At least you have the 5-speed though.
