Too sweet a deal to pass up. Great incentives from Ford for the model-
year change -- clearing inventory. My 2000 F150 has 190,000 mi and is
starting to nickel and dime me. Too unreliable. I have to give it up
on the best vehicle I've ever owned. Sad, but I'll get over it. It
will become the Stanley dump-run/wood-cutting truck, living into a
ripe old age if the head gasket doesn't blow.


Just picked up a new Audi A8L. *An old man's car -- how appropriate. *I
needed something that could move, give me luxory, and got good gas
mileage. *We got 29+ mpg on our trip from GA to MA.

The old bike rack wouldn't fit, so I took off the front wheel of my
fishing bike, wrapped it in a couple of old quilts, and put it in the
back seat of the A8L. *Fit quite nicely, with room to spare for other
things.

Is that F350 a duelly?

So what's your hitch capacity and tow weight for your Audi?

Uhhh, what would I be towing? No need to tow *anything*. If it can't
fit inside, I don't need it.

You are going to be Hundred and Thousand to death with that piece of $#it
Ford diesel engine. *Should have bought a Chevy (Isuzu diesel) or a Dodge
(Cummins diesel). *How a renouned manufacturer like Ford could make such
rock solid Diesel engines for farm tractors, could end up produceing such
unreliable, breakage prone garbage Diesel engines for their F250-350 class
of trucks is beyond me. * GOOD LUCK, your going to need it!


Could it be him? Maybe? Ah huh. Probably is. Amazing how writing
style, word choice and snotty attitude are identifiable. . . .
especially for braggart chicken**** purveyors of questionable
parentage playing anonomouse.

Geez, Dave. I'd forgotten all about that asshole and now you have to
mention it.

I'll get the last laugh out of this thread, just remember this when that
piece of $#it Ford implodes on you, just remember you were warned; * Oh
well, no money out of MY wallet, you are the one who is going to put out
the big time dollars to repair that modern day Diesel Edsel.


You may. Ive been craving an F250 for a little camper rig (about
minimal for campers near as i can tell if one has no death wish) . . .
and there is lots of neg gibber about the Ford diesels. Id opt for a
Ford gasser. But hey, given RW beats the diesel odds, you gotta admit
that the F350s are nifty rigs to roll thru the West with? Id love one.
And two buck gas too. Enjoy it RW, we are just jealous.

Looking at some Dodge ads.
