crazy driving...

nobody's on...guess i'll ramble...

went to regina friday night. about 70kph the whole way. man, the roads were nuts!!! just like a glass bottle!! almost filled my pants once, the truck started to slide, but got her back in control with little drama. stupid how many people were in the ditch though, just slow down!!!! regina's not going anywhere!!!

came back home today, saturday, roads were awesome!! 17 mpg going in, 21 mpg comming back. figure thats not to bad!!

glen if you read this, i hope there are many more people out there like you!!! there needs to be more "git er dun" when an accident occurs. glad you are fine and well, glad you could help someone!!

later dudes

Hey thats awesome! Your story reminds me of one time I came from stoon to pa. This guy was haulin *** in his brand new f150 4x4, doing 120 or so while the rest of us were doing about 80. Well 2 miles later he was halfway in the field, up to his *** stuck in snow! I didnt have a tow rope, so i honked twice and waved and drove by lol.

Oh right yeah, your truck is nice. The limited slip is nice too, I wish my truck had that. And my next truck is going to hopefully have that too!

i'm pretty suprised at how well the ls does in deep snow. i haven't had any trouble this winter at all, and no weight in the back either. a new 4x4 just gives me the jitters, not fully trusting the electronic stuff yet...

Yep, I like it though it`s a 54 from the grille which is still real cool and yep, it`s worth a new thread. Just hope Ryan doesn`t see this.
Thanks for the heads up, too bad it`s in Chrchbridge and I`m not. Or maybe that`s a good thing. Still it`s interesting and tempting....
Maybe I`ll give Mike in Churchbridge a call in a month just to see if it sold or the price came down.
