Smile Well I did it.

Well The employee price plan was to much for me. I traded in my 98 XL 4.6 in for a 2005 fully loaded XLT xtended cab 5.4 for 21k out the door. Its a little late now but what do you guys think of the price, and what kind of mods can I do to this beast now.
Thanks

You've certainly "moved up" in trucks -- enjoy!

Wow-

Unless the part was deemed defective it's hard to believe that happened, and they let you walk away and not pay for it...

Usually, if you drive a car hard, and break something- even if its a test drive, they make you pay for the repair.... Just like if you were to get a ticket on a test drive...

lol, I bet that dude felt like a douchebag when that happened!

You: "WTF was that sound?"
Guy: "Sir, that was the turbo busting. By the way, we sell really good cars."

Well, had that happened- I would have laughed my proverbial @$$ off, got out the car- and went to the Ford dealership...


I don't like Turbo's & Superchargers..

I prefer a car make it's power with the engine only, and no bolt-ons.
