craigs new toy =)

[craig]

test drove it today. picking it up this weekend cause he has to change out the alternator(too many offroad lights ) and fix a tire. 1976 ford f250. has a 390 engine(aka, HUGE) lifted, glasspack exhuast that sounds FANTASTIC. chrome rims, larg offroad tires. it hauls ass. its fast. when i test drove it, i broke the rear end loose when i steped on it in first. its great. it has a flatbed, which will be handy at work. a nice red color. looks much like this, but red, and a regular cab instead of extended.





expect lots of pics, and videos this weekend.


edit: btw, the exhaust is a true dual that comes out the side(infront of the rear tires)

dude..how many cars have u owned

[RSF5]

Nice. and ^^^ yeah how many have you owned? Like 23?

[mullethunter3]

another new toy? geez!

[craig]

haha. what can i say? and iv owned... 4. this will be my 4th one. but considering the bug was a project, only three. and this pickup is really geared high, 65MPH at 3,500 RPM. which, on that pickup, is quite high. so im probably going to keep the geo for long trips and such(not like i actualy go on any) but if i get a two speed rear end, then the geo is getting sold. haha. i just like having something i can play with. and i cant play with the geo. lol. you guys are going to love the sound of it. its great.

edit: expect pictures and videos friday, unless hes working and cant get things done then. sunday by the latest. but you know whats weird? ALL of my cars have been some form of red.. my tbird was maroon, bug was red, and my geo is maroon. and now, a red pickup!? i dont even like red! lol. i just thought that was kinda funny...

[komodo]

thats a larg pickup O_O. but im not a fan of the newer ford pickups. basicly anything pre-1980 is good for fords.

haha. well this pickup has pleanty of power for me... might upgrade to something bigger later tho. all depends on how it does on paved roads(test drove it on dirt roads) it would spin the tires on second gear. i couldnt even get my tbird to do that on dirt.
