and x2 on that meet-up. ill be living about 2 miles away at the commons. its a gated apartment community on west tharpe street. kinda good since i think my truck and my buddy's modded Firebird would be targets in Tally. however, seeing that your truck makes it through makes me feel better.

bliueoval_man, you driving your truck? i'd definately like to hang out with some other one fiddy guys.

I've never had a problem with my truck in Tally. People just stare at my truck because its loud, doesn't sound like a V8, and doesn't look stock appearance wise. Ha. I can't wait to go the junkyard on Monday and put a rear bumper back on the truck. It's been a year since I've had a bumper.

Damn, you figured me out. Lets just say the day I lost my $200 Cervini's rollpan was a bad day for me.

You wanna see who is darker in what sense? I mean, I'm a bona-fide white boy if thats what you mean.

I would have multi-quoted but I forgot about it. Whoops.

You might be whiter than me. What color is your truck? Mine is a super dark green and it looks black at night. We need to get the trucks lined up for an F150 Tallahassee meet picture.

Damn, our paint my be about the same shade if not a hair off in color. That's crazy. Sorry, I just looked at what color your truck was.

Notice you haven't seen any passenger side pictures of my truck either? The paint on both sides of the bed is kind of bad, it needs to be wet sanded a bit more and my passenger side door and fender are messed up and cost a bit of money to fix.

My passenger side bed has a big scratch on it where a SEMI hit me into the wall.

In shade mine looks black, i think they will be close.

Your salesman is full of p00p. The 05+ 4.2's all have electronic throttles. I don't know about the 04 Heritage though.

04 Heritage has the same throttle as the 97-03. They started all the drive-by-wire crap in '05.

You are correct. The 04 NBS V8s had electronic throttle only because they didn't make a V6 unless it was the Heritage model. 04 Heritage = Regular cable driven throttle 04 NBS = Electronic.
