    Wow! Do you guys need to duke it out? JK! I've got at least 10 years on both of ya. Plus a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs, and taking care of my dad, who is 63.v What people have going on in their life is reguardless!

    Anyways, I had some lady came up to me the other day, she was getting out of her hybrid as I was getting out of my '06 F-150 Supercrew. She asked me why would I buy such a big truck and waist so much on gas. I told her two things. 1) With the K&N filter, Magnaflow dual exhaust, and a soft tonneau cover, My milage went from 13 city to 16 city. 2) Most inportantly, it's my life, it's my money, it's only money, and you only live once! Live it up!

    I've always wanted to build a mini, and damn it, at 32 years of age, I'm gonna do it!! There, I said my peace.

    P.S. V8, I still hope you get that truck

    You should have asked why she paid so much for a vehicle that gets as good of mileage as an 80's tercel, civic, or any other small car. Oh and told her that her car is enviromentally unfriendly to produce compared to normal cars.

    That truck has been sitting here at macdill gas station for ever. back is down on the ground with the front high to the sky. something must be wrong with it. its been over a week and i just passed by today, ITS STILL SAME SPOT!!! looks like it has a problem or just leaving it there. but from my understanding its not supposed to be parked there unless it is getting worked on at the tire shop. JUST A HEADS UP!!!:eek:


    OH! the pictures dont looks alot better then in person! Sorry but just my opinion

    Its behind the gate and NO you cant drive to see it unless i sponsor you in again. In the pictures it looks better in person it looks like someone **** on there hand and went to paint on the truck. you can see the fisheye paint job and ripples around the truck. Just my 2cents. For me I WONT BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
