How's things Bats?
Things are awesome and thanks for asking. The story behind my Ford is this:
In 1994 we went to a used car dealership and it was my Senior year and my birthday was coming very soon. I saw this nice Chevy that I wanted and it looked real nice. And my step-dad said, "How bout this Ford right here?" I said... NO... I ain't driving no damn Ford, they are Found On Road Dead!! So after a losing battle and no money to back up my opinion, I ended up with a 1992 Ford F-150. Now.. years later and 260,000 miles... my step dad finally gave me the reason why I ended up with that truck. He said:
"The engine in that truck will last you forever. It's the best engine Ford makes and you can damn near drive it without oil or water and it will make it. That's why I wanted you to have that truck... it won't die!"
And I'll be damned if he wasn't right as rain!!! I had a serious oil leak once from the oil pan gasket and it never locked up or died. One day the water pump went south and I'll be damned if it didn't make it to the repair shop where it could be fixed!!! So am I ever gonna get rid of that truck?? HELL NO!!! They can bury me in that thing!! It has the Straight 6, 4.9 liter engine that Ford does not make anymore because it never needs repair or breaks down. Now I am a Ford man and my wife drives an Explorer that has almost 180,000 miles and my next truck will be a Ford.
That's my story for today!!
