Rides
At the event, we went from riding around in this super cool bus to riding around in these beaters. Ford tough, my ass. Those are Chevys. If I were Chevy, I’d make a commercial for my Suburbans out of the fact that:
These vehicles had been rammed by other vehicles.
Been near IEDs.
We found spent grenades in them.
Shot up with simunition
Shot up with real ammo
Some of them even looked to have been flipped.
And they still ran. Though one did have the Check Engine light on. You know, right next to the gun holes in the dash.

Yeah, well, keep in mind that if my Ford’s had been through that, they would still look better….

Man, I want to know more about the badass that put his whole gun through the dash!

@_Jon! I”M with you buddy! Go Ford!

I drive a ford too, ya know.

You know why Ford’s are the best selling? Cause Chevy’s are the longest lasting.

hahahaha Maybe so. I’d still rather be caught dead in a Ford than a chevy. 😉

Like a rock, baby.
(And I’m a Mopar man…)

Spent grenades? Isn’t the point of grenades that there’s no such thing as a “spent” one?
For the record, Ford F150 is THE truck. One of these years I’ll be getting one.

The pickup truck to use should have been on Rachel’s list of 10 things that start a blog fight (along with AR vs AK).
For those who actually use them (vs the peeps that use it as a social symbol), the choice of truck is religious matter.

That sounds like most of the rigs I’ve had over the years– touch this wire to the dash to start, touch these other wires together to kill the engine, be sure to tighten the rope after you close the hood…
I currently drive an F150. I once started a list of irritating design and manufacturing flaws, but gave up after filling a whole page– typed, single spaced.

…and I’m very impressed by the durability of Delco radios. It’s important to have good tunes in a car that makes Clyde Barrow’s Ford look showroom new.
