i always get horrible mileage with girls in the truck!!! LoL. for some reason my boost guage ends up staying around 20psi and occasionally i let it go to 30psi. i had one girl ride with me and whenever i pulled out on the highway and floored it she was like HOLY SH%*!! your truck is too fast!!! LoL. i told her you can't have a truck thats too fast, but she ended up asking what the whistle was b/c it sounded cool. haha

When my fuel bowl was leaking I was under the hood and it was down for the day. The lady that owns our campground asked her husband why such a new truck was broke down. He told her that it is not a new truck rather an old truck that has been taken good care of. I was very proud of the truck when he told me this.

hmmm...
I havent heard that.
but then again, if i'm heavy on the boost, i usually dont let off...

ya true but when you are sideways around a corner sometimes you have to let off. Most the time I can keep on it but there is always that slick spot that will get you.

I cant doo 65 but 30-35 can still get tricky at times. Doesnt stop me from showing off my rainy day hot rod though. LOL.

I got a completment at the drivethtu today also. The guy says, "Damn, that's the best shape I've seen an old body style Ford." Then he preceded to call it sexy. I hadn't ever thought of it that way. He also called it a long ride. At that point I was glad it was time to pull forward to the next window.
