I agree if the world treated people like the majority of people on FTE do life would be so much easier

agreed.... FTE is one of the ONLY car/truck clubs ive enjoyed going to meets for... and not made to feel like an outsider... every time ive gone to my other car club meets ive felt like the proverbial 5th wheel..

When we went to OR and TN this year getting to meet people was great. There were no awkward moments that are usually associated with first meetings. It was unbeleivably great.

not only that its not an engine debate either.... you dont have people actually fighting over which engines better than the other... yes i know theres gasser vs diesel.. but yall dont fight over it like the muscle car guys do with the v6 vs v8 debates... nor do ya make one another feel like theyre unwanted just cuz they dont have that particular engine either...

how old are you? Were you a navy boy? did I ever say anything vulgar to you? LMAO
Absolutely. I never fit in the other sites cuz I was the only one with an old truck. No one wanted to talk old truck... just diesel and duallies and lifts etc.

i dont even have a ford truck.. so it really surprised me how accepting FTE guys/gals were when i met them... first meet i took my chebby truck too... partly cuz it was a "truck meet"... and other reason was is cuz we were meeting at a place i knew i was gonna be coming home smelling like an ashtray and didnt want my stang to smell like one too... stuff lingers forever in the upholstery...
2nd meet i took my stang to though....

I'll take help with anything. No one has helped me so far.
So where did you go to school up here... you're not much younger than I.
