That would be so freakin' cool. I'd love to own my own plane one day. I hate traveling and lots of times my fiance and I would like to go somewhere and take our dogs with us. It's just not do-able in a truck unless you're going somewhere really close.
Having my own plane would solve that problem.

Kind of like the Matrix, right?

Those are made in my hometown so I see them flying around all the time. Very very cool.
This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Here's the truck I bought about 2 1/2 years ago.
This truck has been EXTREMELY reliable and I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Absolutely the best built fullsize pickup on the planet. Period.
That dent on the tailgate happened at a Home Depot. I went into Home Depot to buy an air compressor, came out and there was a big arse dent in my tailgate. Of course no one stuck around to take responsibility.
I've put this truck through hell. Hauled my charger down from San Antonio (150+ miles) with no problems. I've hauled trash out to the city dump (with and w/o a trailer) several times. I've hauled more stuff in it then I can even remember. Do burnouts in it regularly just for the fun of it.
What can I say, there's a reason the Ford F-150 has been the #1 selling vehicle in america for 32 straight years.

lol, i wouldnt call that hell, just some occaisional hauling. Ford sales have been plumeting. Bottomline is most trucks are trash when you really want them to work. The only brand i woudl trust is toyota (tundra) and maybe the nissan titan.

The US makes the best full size trucks on the planet. End of story.
And hauling a 4,500 lb vehicle 150 miles is no walk in the park. You usually don't tow anything that heavy with an F-150 (or any other truck in that class). The guy at u-haul was reluctant to rent me the trailer (which was over 1000 lbs by itself).
I've owned a new Chevy, F-150, and Dodge and never had a problem with any of them. Ever.
I have a buddy who got sucked in by the over dramatic advertising of Nissan and bought a Titan. He's had it just over a year and has already had to take it in for repairs 3 times for 2 different problems. He regrets he ever bought the dang thing.
Again, F-150 has been the #1 selling VEHICLE in the US (not just truck, but vehicle overall) for over 30 straight years. There's a reason for that.
Thinking that a company (or companies) that is new to the game (full size pickups) is better then companies that have been doing it for decades is ignorant.

I've got a 2004 Extended Cab F150 Lariat and I absolutely love it. It's got the 5.4L engine with a tow package and I've towed things most people wouldn't try. I've pulled trailers as long as 60' without a problem.
It has all leather on the interior, and I've found it to be very comfortable and well laid-out. I drive from Austin to Kingsville non-stop twice a month and I'm also in my truck for several hours a day going to and from work and I never mind the drive. For having such a large engine it gets surprisingly good gas mileage too. I really like the sound system it came with as well, it sounds better than some custom systems I've heard.

Less time bragging about a darn truck...more time working on a REAL vehicle.
Geez...truck guys, I never get it.

I don't have any special vehicles.......yet.
I drive a '98 Chevy Cavalier with 203,000 miles on it and the little lady drives a 2006 Chevy Uplander minivan.
I am looking for a 1979-81 Camaro Z-28, but I am picky. It must have a manual transmission and I prefer T-tops and it must be in pristine condition.....I am no Rack.

I like the look of Fords better than Chevy, but I work for General Motors and would be shot on sight if I drove a Ford into GM's parking lot.
