Nice truck, Matt. Congrats on getting a more manly vehicle. When you would talk about your Mazda, the dfwmustangs gaymeter would ping.

I caught a lot of shit for driving that car. It was the practical side of me denying the fun side of me the pleasure of driving what I wanted, not what I needed. My family has always come first, and this is the first time I'm driving a nicer vehicle than the wife (but she has a 2008 Ford Edge).Originally posted by davbrucas View Post
I had a guy at work as me "so, why are you driving the mom-mobile?"
I once had a guy pull next to me on I20 and give me the
sign.
I've had people constantly poke fun of me, but when I spend thousands a year on Type 1 Diabetes meds/test strips/Endocrinologist appointments for my youngest son, and hockey for my oldest, it just came down to the simple fact that my needs/wants come last.
It was time for me to live a little and get something I wanted this time.Comment

Good for you man. You deserve it. I wish more people had your approach to life.Comment

I spent $13k out of pocket for medical last year, and about $5k for hockey.Originally posted by davbrucas View Post
So, at almost $20k for that alone.
The Mazda had 3 payments of $380 left, and the truck bumped the payments up only $75/month to $455 for 60 months.
I couldn't turn that down. I have relegated myself to the fact I will probably always have car payments because I dislike driving old vehicles.Comment

I'm getting almost 23 mpg on the highway! Twice now I have gotten on the highway, and hit the reset button and set the cruise at 70 mph. I know it's not exactly accurate, but it's very promising for a new truck.Comment

I hate car payments and I never buy new vehicles...well, my wife gets new, but I look for new used with low miles. Even though I can afford to pay cash for a new vehicle, I still dont like throwing away money when I can get just as good of a car for $7-10k less.Comment

That's a good looking truck!Comment

I just don't like the thought of someone abusing the vehicle, not performing maintenance (to my meticulous standards) or having to bring a black light to check for various bodily fluids on the surfaces.Originally posted by davbrucas View Post
That's like marrying a stripper. She might look good, but you can't tell what's been under the hood...Comment

Thanks, the first thing the wife said was "It looks nice, but needs bigger tires!"Originally posted by yellowstang View Post
I tend to agree, those wheel wells look HUGE!Comment

congrats on the truck Matt. I may be getting a new Ford truck for FREE here soon. New job oppurtunity back here in the metroplex for me that will come with a loaner. Cross fingers.
It is hard to believe those are 20s on the truck with that much wheel well.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.Comment

Oh, those are 18s, not 20s.Originally posted by kbscobravert View Post

We were at Discount the other day to get a nail outa a tire, and they had some really tough looking black truck rims. No idea on the price, or brand, but they looked cool!Comment

Good looking rig.Comment

I was looking at the oil filter, and it takes the new FL500S filter, and it is mounted horizontally (which I don't like, you can't pre-fill the filter and put it on), but they have a cool drip funnel so the oil goes into your catch instead of it just oozing down the framework.
I was also shocked that it takes 7.7 quarts of oil.
