Supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter Triton<SUP>TM</SUP> SOHC V-8 engine rated at 340 hp @ 4500 rpm, 425 lbs.-ft. torque @ 3250 rpm, includes tachometer/speed control/tilt wheel

EDIT: I did a little Googling, and found that the 2008 (which it looked like to me) has 100 more HP than the '03.
"Thanks to the folks at Saleen, who developed the supercharger for the 5.4-liter V8, the Harley and Foose Editions both belt out a full 450 hp and 500 lb.-ft. of torque. Now these are our kind of trucks."
EDIT2: You are spot on, Scott...

We do control the electoral college to an extent. What has everything out of whack so badly is that the heavily welfare dependent states have so many electoral votes. Such as Michigan, Illinois, New York, California, Pennsylvania, with Ohio starting to lean in the wrong direction. It sucks. But that is why the libs want so many folks on the public gimme gimme list registered to vote. This is the end of my rant in the OT too.

There have been many attempts to improve on the electoral college system. Losers of elections for years have cried "I got more Popular vote". Well, the electoral college is one of the many wise checks and balances put in place by our founding fathers. Without an electoral college the large states would completely overrule all the smaller states. California could easily overpower all the mountain states( arizona, new mexico, colorado, wyoming, idaho, and montana) by itself if left to popular vote. The east has many powerhouses of population as well. The electoral college more or less divides the nation into " zones" that control the electoral votes. This allows the lower population areas to still have a say in the election. If it was all 1 big zone,,, the population powerhouses would rule. Really pencil out the electoral college, your vote counts, it determines which way your zone goes. The california vote could be 27 million to 1 and the arizona vote 2,100,000 to 2,099,999 - the popular vote decides the zone only - which assigns electorates. If left to the popular vote arizona's tally would not have mattered. Under electroal its a completely different result. Its how Iowa and the dakota's still have a say after Chicago votes. Always exercise your right to vote, if you don't, don't biotch at me when its over.

If 100% of california voted for candidate A, 51% of nevada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Montana,Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas voted for B, the the electoral college would be 55 to 68 Canididate B even though California has skewed the popular vote in favor of A. ( ca having 55, nev5, UT5, ID4,AZ10, MT3,WY3,CO9,NM5,ND 3, SD 3, NE5, KS6,OK7)

Got hit today..
So I'm driving down to see the inlaws, got my wife in the front seat, baby girl in the middle in the back and were doing about 35 or so. A guy comes out of nowhere, cuts in front of us then proceeds to do a U turn. I slam on the brakes and stop and BAM!, The guy behind me wasnt looking and smacked us. I pulled up the road and got out to survey the damage. Baby, wife, me=all good. People that hit us=all good. Truck=Not a scratch anywhere. His front bumber= totaled, smashed, 2 big cut marks where my hitch decided to go through it. It was a Honda. I thought that it would hit harder but damn, these trucks will take a pounding. We really didnt feel it much. I figure my truck kept us safe and my baby girl is okay, barely even woke her from her nap. I'll be keeping this truck forever. This is the hitch I have, when it's folded under its just a big hunk of plate steel to slam into.
