You know you drive an Excursion when you read countless posts on FTE of people complaining about gas vs. diesel discussions.
Does that one work too?
Seriously, it wasn't a versus thing, just the facts for ME. Others may see if different. Matter of fact I'm building a diesel truck right now because no matter how you slice it, diesel trucks are just plain cool. In my case I have a 1980 Jeep truck that I'm putting a cummins 4BT into. OLD diesel trucks are WAY cool.

Too young to drive but I didn't miss it. My favorite thing was my dads '68 396 SS Camaro. Woosh....!

there for a second i thought i was going to have to delete my subscription to this thread because it was going to turn in to a wiener measuring thread about gas vs diesel. i hate those, and refuse to comment or read them.

no this thread is no where near the 218 pages of "mines better/bigger than yours" of the PSD vs. V10 thread. i can handle a couple comments back and forth. but that thread just got ridiculous.

Wow, some good ones, "when you notice how dirty the other cars roofs are!!"
When I could load my 27' Ragen with so much crap, AND 100 gal of water AND 36 gal of Fuel and the quads/bike/cooler,,,, and toodle up the grapevine at your choice of speeds! (until you blow a CAC boot off the turbo!!
)
You pass every prius, blowing black smoke, just because you have to
When you have to change the starter at your BILaw's and he says "we can take it to the shop and put it on the lift" and you ask why
When you are going on vacation and people go "your driving that? how can you pay for the gas, and I say well I avg. 18-21 on the highway and watch their jaws drop!
When you can pull out your 99 SD/7.3/CC/4x4 with a FULL load of wet oak stuck in the mud off-camber, AND the SD is in Nuetral with your wife steering it!!!
Well, till I think of more, HAppy New Year All you sicko Ex owners!!

I was just kidding but I agree. I think the bulk of those posters have an ego or maturity problem..........or both.
