glad u got them both out easily at the same time.
That's gottuh be hard, I have two girls, but they were older when it became just them and I - Like 10 and 12. Raising a child on your own, even just one is a harder job then mine. That's allot to handle. You need people/help , and an F150....

When your left with the choice, it's either her or the truck, it's not fair.

Not fair for her anyways

Yeaaah. That does not seem fair at all...She gives you an ultimadum of putting down the truck or her, but she can still do whatever she wants? I hear ya i feel ya! Maybe a trade can take place, she puts down the make up which is an obvious 3 hour a day dedication than you THINK about putting the other toy in the garage for the night, at least that seems fair to me.

I ment not fair for her - I'll pick the truck every time. That thing between their legs is highly over rated IMO. - There's not a shortage

I remember back about 7 years ago I installed headers on my F-150. Because of a previous incident, 26 years earlier, involving headers and our family car and a resultant lack of disposable income I was to never install headers on any vehicle I owned. When I first got the 2000 it was leased so I did not own it. Anyway I digress. I ordered a set of headman headers and they finally arrived. My wife used to sit in our driveway up by the house and chill. This fine Saturday she was chilling so I parked the truck about 30 feet from here chair and proceeded to remove the intake manifolds. All during this operation she was asking me if I was installing headers. I replied no. I was removing the manifolds. Finally I installed the headers and luckily I was connecting the collectors to the headers before she next asked me if I was installing headers. "No" I answered. "I am tightening a bolt at the collectors" I answered. So it all comes down to your interpretation of the question.......

Regards

Jean Marc Chartier

PS. She knew dambd well what I was doing but she laughed about it when I told her I was writing them off because it was a company truck.
