it's MAY everbody!

LOL it's bad when I'm the bs thread starter on the 10th.

So, I sold the van last week and tomorrow I'm going to look at a 2014 F150. It's at a Honda stealership in Vermont, but the price is right. It's an extra cab 4wd with a v8. It'll be nice to have a vehicle from this decade, ha ha!

Sweet pickup, Justin. How are you liking it so far? I got a couple sweet almost night shots of mine. All within a couple minutes. Would have been better probably if I had the parking lights on. Oh well.

So far I love it, it's not perfect but what used truck is? So there is some stuff I have to fix, lol. I love the power it has. I like yours, one of my co-workers has a truck like yours only black. I sort of wish I had gotten the super crew but, I'm not going to be sitting back there haha!

If it wasn't for Hannah and wanting another kid, I definitely would have an extended cab. I miss the 6.5' bed. Really, I miss the 8' bed, but the 6.5' was a much easier compromise to swallow.

Ahh true, but that's why I still have old blue. When I get it fixed I'll use my buddy for dump runs and things like that. After I get some other stuff done I will make room in the garage and rebuild it's 300. Right now my engine hoist has a 4.3 hanging off it, for the boat.

I still have the 97 f350, but it definitely needs some work.
