Fish Chris Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 After one hell of an ordeal, I finally got my new truck ! :-) To make a long story short, I waited for my custom ordered F150 for 2 freaking months.... Only to walk into that dealership last week, and have them tell me, "We're sorry. Ford decided not to build anymore 08' F150's, and you have been waiting 2 months for nothing. Sorry." ! Ah buddies, I was freaking IRATE ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So after contemplating it for a while, knowing that I could open up my options 10 fold, by just going with an extended cab, I called another dealership to see what they could do. Well, they found the exact truck I wanted, at another nearby dealership...... Except for "one more thing"..... It had the 5.4L V8 instead of the 4.6L. There goes another couple MPG's.... Oh well. Gas is so cheap anyway, right ? :-O So basically, I had my arm twisted into getting a bigger, badder truck than I really needed..... But d**n this thing is looking SOOO freaking sweet in front of the house ;-) I'll post some photos soon..... Just give me a minute to get the aftermarket tires, grille, tinted glass, etc, etc :-) I'm going to be dumping about $4K into it within the next couple weeks, and then I'll be ready to roll ! ;-) Stoked !

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted June 21, 2008 Super User Posted June 21, 2008 Glad to hear you FINALLY got your truck. That must have been brutal, not being able to fish. Have you taken the boat out yet? Falcon Quote
-HAWK- Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 The best thing about it is now you can get back to slaying those giant hogs out there. Quote
Jake P Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Congratulations! Man, how did you go 2 months without anyone from Ford letting you know that your patience was for nothing? Oh well at least you got a badass new truck. I wanna see some pics! Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted June 21, 2008 Super User Posted June 21, 2008 Congratulations Chris! Can't wait to see your mods! Quote
CJ Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Awesome Chris! Nice choice too! Can't wait to see some pics of the truck......and some monster bass too! Have fun with it. I remember the feeling I got with my new truck but, it's vague. CJ Quote
frogtog Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 That was the best move you made by getting the 5.4. I have two of the 4.6 and they drink gas like my 3.0 mercury, I get about 9 or 10 mpg on them and 17 or 18 on the F250 5.4. Congrats on your new truck. Quote
skillet Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 From the title of the post, I figured you had got your truck! CONGRATS !!! As Ever, skillet Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted June 22, 2008 Super User Posted June 22, 2008 The only things better than a new lady are new boats and new trucks. Way to go Fish! Now its time for you to get a big one! Quote

Of the 3 which one is the most expensive? You would have to be very savvy with the stock market. Its a very complicated dynamic between diamond and gold prices, lowrance and motoguide stock, and oil prices. Very confusing. Aside from the economic relationship of the three, there is a crucial dynamic domestically. You must have a truck to tow your boat to escape your lady. Of course, spending too much time with one of those elements will eventually lead to spending more money on the other two, lol. Quote
