How long are we all going to have to wait?

Anybody in favour of taking up a collection to buy our moderator a tank of fuel so he can afford to have a truck again?

Hey he has gas milleage and air conditioning See it is better to drive the focus rather then a tall big get out of my way rough and tumble pickup truck.
You could set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe Deville. (or focus)
Little bit of a Alan Jackson BURN.

I hope his windows are tinted extremely dark so no one sees him driving it! Bet he parks down the street from his house so the neighbors don't see him!

Actually, that was Joe Diffie...but a valid point.

I'll stick with both. The idea was to "play" with the truck, while using the car for the daily commute...perhaps someday...

The problem here is that Matt has come to actually like his Focus and has no more desire to own a real vehicle like a truck again. Heck, he's so screwed up that if he ever does buy another truck it'll probably be a (gasp!) Chevy...

I feel that the important thing here is for your chapter to band together and start a fund to get Matt to a good psychologist to help him get over his irrational fear of trucks, before it's too late. Heck, I'd even chip in for that...

Is Matt worth the money? Just kidding! But I do feel you are correct on his fear of trucks!

Right idea, wrong method.
This Focus thing is just a hiccup in Matts' life. As we all know, there's several ways to cure hiccups. I was just thinking that fear is most motivating when taken to the extreme. A good scare is supposed to cure hiccups.
When is Matt going to the next FTE/Tims' meet? I'm sure someone will come up with an idea by then.
