Looks like a fun ride actually. Me living in the country that is how I see it. You always see trucks like that come out about now because of hunting season starting. Ever take it off any sweet jumps?

My personal beater:


95 F150 - E4OD Auto - 4.9L Straight Six - Long Bed - Dual Tanks...that's pretty much it. No carpeting, power windows, or fancy stuff like a headliner. 300 Cubic inches of pure work truck...no options 'cept the auto and long bed.

Runs like a champ at 189,000 miles.

Not sure if I am going to put my stang "away" for the winter this year. I may keep it ready for any, decent dry day that might come up. I only save $30 - $40 on insurance anyway. The thing is fun as hell to drive when the roads are dry (and free of salt) and it is cold as hell.

I don't have a winter beater, just an SUV and a minivan to drive anyway besides the stang.

Nah, I'd rather not have to go through a hurricane every other weekend.

Besides, then I wouldn't get to beat the hell out of my truck on sloppy, salty roads

Wish I could afford to pay for a beater and my stang. I would buy a stupid Civic and make it look like the ugliest rice car ever.
