Back in a truck...

Well... Almost. As some of you may remember I sold the 05 to help build credit and get some fuel mileage in a focus.

Now... I have built the credit as well as destroyed it (bought a house) and am ready to get back in a truck.

I found a 2008 f150 stx... Two door, 6.5' bed with a 4.6 and 59k miles. I'm thinking I will be in it in the morning. I started negotiations yesterday and walked when I didn't get my price. Well who would imagine, they called. We are getting close.

Just wanted to say hello, and see who all I still active.

Thanks guys,
Sam.

Darren with the burgundy f150? How you been man? How's the truck?

The credit game is ridiculous. I dropped from a 720 to a 685.

I've got an 08 STX SuperCab and I love it. The 4.6 is bulletproof and I've kept up the maintenance on it like crazy. Best truck I've ever had

DSG,

My 05 was a 4.6 and had 180k when I traded it in... and those weren't easy miles. I'm hoping to be back in one tomorrow.

What kind of fuel mileage are you pulling?

What is that device that holds your I-Phone up by the radio, and where did you get it / how did you make it?

That happens to be an iPhone, Droid X Car Holder Socket Mount that I found on Amazon for $19.00. It plugs into the lighter receptacle. It has a USB port and a place for the lighter. It has a flexible neck and a blue LED. It works for me. I hope this helps.



A different view...
