New to me

[paddy.shadow]

I pulled the trigger and purchased a new to me 2003 Ford F250 super duty 4x4. The ride is atrocious, and it gets appalling fuel mileage! and I absolutely LOVE it! Matches my 1995 SHO! 62500 miles and I gave the fella $9500.00. 5.4 liter v8 gas engine, 6 speed manual shift.

OoooH that's a nice truck!

 

[paddy.shadow]

Thanks Dan!

Nice truck... too bad it has an Oval on the front. :smilie_happy:

 

[paddy.shadow]

Blue Oval all the way! They didn't take or need any bail out money from the gubmint! That should tell you something!!

[paddy.shadow]

Thanks backlander! Gremlin bell still keeping out the baddies?

 

[backlander]

Yeah, it's doing a pretty good job, course it's got it's hand full trying to fight off all my bad luck. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: Looks like yours is working too.

 

[paddy.shadow]

Absolutely! Old wing fired right up today.....after charging the battery and adding fresh fuel...and a small spray of ether...but then she jumped right to life and we sped about!

I like my Fords for many of the same reasons. Mercury is a Ford in my book.

Very good guess. It's a 78 Marquis Broagham. Folks think I'm crazy for driving it.
