I have an F-150 SuperCrew and I love it. Nobody pulls out in front of you when you are


driving down the road. Mine has a 156 ince wheel base and I can do a 3 point turn in my two


car driveway. Whenever I go somewhere I do stratigic parking, park out where nobody is.




I've also noticed how courteous drivers have become since I got the Silverado. It's a remarkable

transformation. I had no idea my purchase of a big pickup would improve the manners of such a great

many people!


Funny... I've notice that people react to the Corvette in different ways. One of the most aggressive reactions is from guys in pickups! They want to race me for some reason. Crazy. Young guys in Mustangs tend to leave me alone :-)
(I like Mustangs, BTW)

Fords, but has a Vette, a Chevelle (pretty much a driver, all
origional), and a few others to go along with his pack of Ponys...

The F-150 Lightening was a Porsche killer.

I have not noticed extra care. They still cut over in front when merging,
and making the last moment to get the offramp when I am towing. The extra
safety space is too attractive I guess. Especially ****es me off when the
cut in at the last moment and then hit the brakes. I think I need a video
camera on the dash and use that to show their stupidness when I sue them
after running over them.

WTF has this got to do with boats? The little freak doesn't trailer a
boat. He trailers motorbikes and someday maybe his single wide to
West Virginia, where he'd be at home.

Guns and death are just as close to boats and boating as this crap.

You *could* knock off your **** and join the club. The atmosphere's fine until this starts.

BTW, did you buy a gun for your boat? I might could make you a good deal on a Sig Sauer P250 in 9mm.

The Sig didn't live up to your expectations?

I'm not happy about the long trigger pull. But, I've been told to spend more time shooting it and
it'll start feeling very natural. I have to quit shooting the Kimber .45 first, and then going to
the Sig.

My wife loves the Sig.
