Then, I got me this F150 recently to, ahem, tow a boat, and do some other pickup-like chores, and remembered this site. Lo and behold, my login still worked! The F150 is replacing a Jeep Comanche 4.0, which is a really nice little truck but not what I need just now. I really like inline sixes...

Waterford Hills is a nice track; I've been going there since I was a kid (more than 40 years), when I had to come out from Livonia. Technically, it's not in Waterford--it's just outside our northwest border, in Independence Twsp.. I think the mailing address is Clarkston. It's part of the Oakland County Sportsman's Club, which has hunting, fishing, archery and gun sport activities.

Got my handle from an old business we had.
