Awesome story

My father in law (he knows all by the way) was looking for a new pick-up to take the place of his 96 GMC 1500 with a 350. He has given me crap about having my V10 a couple of times because it has two extra cylinders and he doesn't think that they are neseccary. He doesn't listen to anything I say (not that he is rude, but he is a redneck). I told him that if he is looking at fords to get a 2005 or newer and if you don't want the diesel get the V10 because the 5.4 isn't really adequate for a 3/4 ton. I told him this about three months ago. I just found out 15 minutes ago that he just bought a 2005 V10 Crew Cab 4x4. We got another believer fellas.

Naw, he just couldn't handle the splash when I went through, I looked in the rear view mirror and saw him stuck & looking pathetic. For a fleeting instant I debated just leaving him there, then the humanitarian instinct kicked in. Wasn't much of a pull, I just hooked him to the near side hook, the one usually reserved for Dodges, and out he came.
