I would think they have better things to do then hate on Ford -- like maybe trying to figure out if they drive a German truck or an Italian truck.....

Those internal wars have already been explained to me.
See, my '05 is one of those German Dodges and we don't EVEN TALK to those Italian Dodges.

It would be easier if they just split into three forums, Germans, Italians and Pure Breds.
Nothing but infighting, I ain't even gonna login on Thanksgiving.

Those Hemis are made in Mexico and probably more stuff, so it really is a international truck! I have one of those Mexican Hemis in my Mercedes Magnum. The Magnum, Charger, 300, and Challenger are all built on a Mercedes platform. My 05 Magnum has a Mercedes transmission and differential including the rear muli-link independent rear suspension.

As long as the brakes don't lock up and you can fight the steering wheel, you are safe.

Raoul, you should write jokes for the standup comedians! Jay Leno, when he was the Tonight Show host, would ask the tv audience to send in jokes. If he used them he'd pay you $25 per joke.

I sent Jay two jokes and got a response back.
Leno said I owed him $25.
So I stopped, and I moved, and I changed my name.
Leno is fuming and I don't care!

Looks like you should be writing for Rodney Dangerfield, the "No Respect" guy, except that he's dead! Missed out!

"Oh, I tell'ya, I tell'ya life is hard.
This morning I go to turn off the alarm and the switch just snaps off and shoots across the room.
When I grab my briefcase the handle completely breaks loose.
I head out of the house and the door **** comes off in my hand.

Oh, I tell'ya I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

Life is good.

Hauled my crap to NH now I'm back for the wife and cats.
Been driving the Dudge for three months and my schwing didn't fall off.

Nothing to complain about, just wanted to say "Hey" while I still had a southern drawl.
Yankee twang is a coming and there ain't nothin I can do about it.

At least you're moving north at the right time of year -- you'll have plenty of time to pick out your snow shovel!

The PO left me two when he moved to Florida.
Little did he know I'm out of here in November and ain't coming back till the snow is gone.

I was told my species is called a 'snowbird'.
