Thumbs up *** I Can't Stay FOCUSed Forever! ***

Well...it is time for the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

They say a picture is worth 1000 words, so...

...here are two:





Yep, I got a new truck! Well, a 2001 F-150 4x4 Sport. I found the truck and convinced my Dad to buy it for a company truck. But it will be MY truck to drive to and from work with as well as after hours. It will not really be used for a work truck unless it REALLY needs to be.

I sold the car (Focus) to my Dad who is giving it to my Mom as a present. She currently is using my Dad's 99 F-150 and doesn't really like it. This will give her a set of wheels to drive around in.

So, that is the GREAT news. I am pretty pumped and happy.

Now, no more making fun of me...but you can still point and laugh.

-Matt

Congrats Matt!

Nothing like a truck to make a guy feel normal.

2001 F-150 Supercab XLT 4x4 with the Sport package. It has the 4.6L V8 with the 4R70W automatic transmission. 3.55 limited slip rear end (that works, can't even get it to spin).

Nice truck. I LOVE it.

It brings a tear to your eyes to see them grow up and start turning into men. Next thing you know, he's gonna start liking girls.

Nice truck Matt.

The weather ended up being nice today. All the roads dried up so I took the truck to the car wash and got it all clean. Brought it home and waxed it and cleaned the tires.


Not looking too bad for a 6+ year old vehicle. More pictures in my gallery.





-Matt

P.S. Anyone who has a black truck NO I will not come do yours.
