Life is Good

Picked up the 2012 F350 Lariat almost 2 weeks ago and can't stop grinning while driving it. It is an awesome truck.

Best part is I just sold the 2004 F250 V-10 it replaced to a Dodge salesman from the local dealership. That says something about being built FORD TOUGH!

I was cackling with laughter driving in the airport parking garage the other morning just listening to the turbo spool up and down. Life is good.

I enjoy the SD everyday . . . it's what every good banker should drive - right? No kidding, drive it to work, take customers to lunch. When I'm not in the suite and tie, its hauling the UTV to a favorite hunting spot and best yet, pulling the 5'er. Oh yeah, love pullin' the 5'er.

I stopped doing my own vehicle maintenance many moons ago but took it right up again with the F250. I actually look forward to each oil change, DEF fill-up, fuel filters and air filters changes. Picked mine up 6-3-2010 and has just over 32,000 miles now.

Driving it to Las Vegas this weekend instead of my wifes 4Runner - much more comfortable and better MPG.

Life is good.

Life is so good

I Just picked my 2012 King Ranch F250 two weeks ago. Took it on a trip last week to disney land great mpgs and my god the power. Run Rings around My 2006 Harley 6.0 liter and it was running 475 hp to the ground. What a joy to drive. All the bells and whistles. I love the heater everybody is not liking just get rapid heat option and for e-brake be in tow hual mode and double tap brakes with foot off accelerator lol

I've owned some fun cars, but this truck will make me smile more than all the other cars combined. I mean, at least once a week I just hammer down on the throttle and let out this "WOOOO!" the whole time. I don't know what my face looks like during this experience, but I'd say it looks like I mean business!
