My Ford is no more

Had to retire my f150 !!! It was very hard to part with my truck! 120 miles daily drive and a truck hitting 200,000 (and needing some work) was starting to hit the wallet.

So i got this little Go-Cart Hey! it holds all my tool and get about 28 mpg

I pretty much did some down sizing back in January well first I up sized a bit then down sized a few days latter. My old 2005 F150 XLT reg cab 4x2 with the 5.4 was little shy of 200k when I got rid of it. There were some issues starting like sounding rough at cold start ups for a few seconds or so and going through 2 quarts of oil between 5k oil changes. So went and traded it in for a 2013 F150 XLT with the ecoboost and it was extended cab and 4x4. After a few days with it I decided I wanted a V8 and something with limited slip as the truck had a open diff my 05 was limited slip. So ended up with what I got now a 2012 mustang GT but wishing I would have kept that 2013 f150. As when winter gets here this Mustang wont do to well on what ever snow we get here in middle TN. So may end up in a F150 in the fall going to try and get another ecoboost 4x4 version of one in the 2011 to 2014 style.

I have a friend that traded his 09 Screw for a Kia Soul (we call them mouse cars...I know the commercials are hamsters but whatever lol). Anyway, he ended up hating it and had to trade it back in upside down on a 2015 F150 because he missed it so much.

Anyway, Welcome Back!
