Angry Giving F150 drivers a bad name

I live west of Pontiac Michigan and while driving into work this morning some a-hole in a 2004 Silver XLT 4x4 XCAB was driving like a complete moron. His driving was ridiculous for dry roads, let alone the 6-8" of snow we have on the roads here. If you read this SLOW DOWN before you kill some one. 4 wheel drive does not make you god!

You aren't missing anything. I sucks outside right now. Stay in Phoenix as long as you can. My family lives in southern Indiana and they are still under a state of emergency. They are not allowed on the roads. Close to 20" there!

dservit, welcome to the valley of the sun.... just like threadhead said... the weather is perfect for a good washing, I'll supply the products if you supply the elbow grease, and maybe i'll take you to go get an in-and-out burger of something.

Forget what everyone else says, Michigan rocks right now.

4x4 + snow + (safely doing it not around any houses, cars, people, etc) = fun!

I totally agree with Corpsie. I was just complaining about people who are not safe. They are all over, this guy just happened to be driving an F150.

Yet another welcome to the Valley of the Sun for dzervit. It's beautiful today if not a little cool. Last I checked it was only in the mid to upper 50s. Maybe you brought some of that cold air with you.

P.S. ... if you get really homesick you can come over and detail my truck.

Nothing beats a Double-Double, side of FRESH cut frys and a cool chocolate or strawberry shake! In-n-Out no doubt.

dzervit, come on to Southern Cal and we can drive on thru in my cool 2004 F-150

three weeks ago I was driving on north bound, past Southland drive at 45 mph on the deer foot here in Calgary Alberta, Roads were realy bad, It had rained before a cold front moved in and Snow coverd ice.

In front of me was a car hauler with a load of new Dodges/Chryslers, until he was going side ways to aviod three cars that spun out and hit the devider.

A toyota of some some sort was travelling towards me head on after he/she or maybe booth, lost control.

I have never been faced with this before, Had I hit them They would be in the frozen ground, Had I been in 4wd, I would have spun my 04 f-150 out.

I had to drive arround several cars that hit each othier, throttel control and knowing how to stear into skides (skids ) is safer than 4wd any time.

Wow, thanks for the warm PHX welcome guys!!! While the weather isn't as warm as I'd expect, its much better than the single-digit stuff I left. I'm acutally staying down in Goodyear & my god - this entire side of town looks like it was built yesterday! Very weird... it's like EVERYTHING is brand new.

We took a trip to Sedona today... a pic I snapped from the front seat...



If I get bored enough, detailing an F150 just might be do-able... WTF is with all the Titans rolling around? I've seen more in the past 24 hours than a year in Detroit. God bless the motor city... also seen an obscene amount of Tacomas & Frontiers... wierd!
