Talking Tight fit - truck pics for your amusement









We shoe-horned the truck into the garage yesterday to get some shade while we detailed it (fuggin hot sun!).
We probably could have moved it back another foot, but being that close to the workbench made our buttholes clench.
That extra foot -might- have given us enough room to close the garage door too.

You didn't shoe-horne it in there. There is plenty of room an the sides.

My Toyota is up against the work table in front and there is about 2 feet to the door behind it. I can open the drives side door to get in it but I have to suck the gut in to get by on the pass side and make my footing carefull so I don't fall over. But the garage is a mess and thats why I just moved all the junk behind it (between it and the door)so I could actually pull it out of the garage tonight. Its finally fixed.....

My 83 F250 was that tight when I brough it into the garage.

Donjamer, downhillpat, and I will be up to see if it's really a tight fit!!! That should be a real test!!

What's all this talk about a rice rocket doing in a FORD TRUCK ENTHUSIAST thread??? I believe the "T" word violates FTE policy regarding offensive language and we should it from the NE Region!!! Dan...I'm putting you on notice... !!!

What they didn't show is the after pictures...

Probably ripped both mirrors off and scraped the paint..

Looks like time for a bigger garage..

Has to be a bigger garage... Never a smaller truck...

Now Pat...I'm a lot older than you...i've got socks older than you...so you'll have to clarify..."All up in your grille bout'it"...now my generation would say "In your face"...are we talking about the same thing??? Now regarding the 4XLs...perhaps I should have gotten some 5XLs!!!

What do we have to do to get you to come to our GTG's...promise you free food???
I'll get the first one next time!!!

Naaahh...I'm cheap fun. Just pay my gas...did I mention I drive a 4bbl....IE: 1 good stomp probably equals about 1/4 tank...And working my saturday pushing broom washing floor and fixing lincolns for me would be AWESOME!!! Hell..you might even fit into my 5xl uniforms which are really 4x because E and R uniforms always runs 1 size small. That and their tailors suck...one could fit me you and don into one certain pair of my pants. Gas isn't a problem. If it was on a Sunday, I'd be there or on one of my off Saturdays. This is not one of them unfortunately.

Now as for the "ghetto slang..." well I figured I'd increase your vocabulary....got it from a rap song on a co-worker's Ipod...however your meaning is correct..

I pod??? What's an Ipod?!?! Is that like my 8 track???

The "Super Average" trio in one pair of pants... ...the visuals are enough to induce vomiting and cause many sleepless nights!
