Yeah, but a good ex-wife; the kind that shows up with a nice single-malt and a couple of family photos of your folks that wound up in her pile of stuff when she left. Ahhh, good times... good times.

BTW I decided to use the footers to anchor a carport so I can always park in a shady spot.

I suppose so. I sold the truck about a year ago and haven't seen it since, but I did receive a call from the guy that bought it from me asking some questions about the fuel pump (apparently after 110,000 miles the lift pump finally went out). He didn't have any complaints about the suspension so I'm assuming he enjoys the smooth ride too.

Hey...don't blame me. I'm not the one that keeps bringing this thing back to life.

SO, in the winter, you could let it heat up in the sunlight, then use the radiant heat to sleep on it, might keep ya warm, and you don't have to pay for a place to live. nice.

You can make fun of my Ford all you want, but everything about it is paid for by someone else.

Hoss's Company Car...



That's right, boys. I'm rollin' in a Crown Vic. Dont' be hatin'.

With recent concerns over exploding gas tanks on these cars, I think it would be prudent for me to install a custom concrete tank liner.
