Aaron congrats on getting the truck on the road.
Now all we need to do is get your dad a chapter sticker on your dad's truck.

Good evening everyone else.
I hope everyone gets through the storm OK.

My first car is a two stroker. I actually have a couple of those. So far 46 mph is what I got out of it. They average about 40ish mph, depending on the operator. Not many can grasp the concept of ignition timing and speed.

I do have the smaller version of the MT14. The MT19. Although it started as a CN car, there is not much left of it. A new aluminum cab with many changes. The Onan will be replaced with a Lombardini LDW702 two cylinder diesel.

My favorite part of that whole trailer, and probably will be in the whole movie, is the big "high five"!

So when do you get all the paperwork and money over to the DMV? Better plan a full day for that one. Ya never can tell.

here is dad's new ride:


its a very nice driving truck, it has the 4.6 3v and 6 speed auto. the suspension is not squishy like other half ton trucks, it rides very much like the lowered mustang does. not quite harsh but you feel the road. im sure when loaded it will perform perfectly. the truck is very comfortable inside as well, he has the XLT trim with some options. overall i really like it.

That's a sharp looking truck he's got there. He wouldn't be interested in an even swap would he? Haha! I have decided that I like the black grills on the new trucks. At least in the 150's. Good luck with the signatures!
