Actually, even though I didn't vote for Obama, he did say something during his campaign that instantly made me think of my ex...You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.

My first vehicle was a 92 Econoline! I loved that thing except for the size of the gas tank! I drove it to school and back my junior year WHILE I was paying half on my 250. It was worth it. Senior year I got to drive my truck to school! I never had to pay for much for insurance. I think Im still paying 200 something A YEAR for full coverage on my 10 year old truck! Neighbor owns a local insurance company...he asked me to drive his kid to school my senior year. He tried to go up on MY rates and dad called him and said "you trust him to drive YOUR son to school...whats the deal?"
He hasnt gone up on the family's auto insurance in over 7 years.

Good Morning.

Brad, Lisa & Dan Thank You so much. We are both very nervous this morning. That is to be expected though. I posted in this thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ml#post7437175 post #62

Thanks for everything!!!

Good luck to you Jim!

The first car I ever bought was a '66 Mustang coupe with a 289 & 4-speed. I drove my parents 1972 Ford Country Squire wagon before that.... red, with of course the fake wood!!! PIMP!!!

Jim....call me later today, once you know something. I'm pulling for you, bro!

Well, we are still here in Houston. We've had six inches of rain since 1pm yesterday and it's still raining. I drove through high water in two areas on my way to work this morning....fun! On a down side, I am missing several of my crew today. Too much water for them to make it in

Still, I love this weather!
