I think we've been down this road before. Been working ever since I was 15, borrowed $900 of the $1100 cost from my dad to buy a 1978 RM125 dirt bike. He made sure I learned a lesson on financial responsibility and had me pay it back weekly from my paper route money. That was quite a feat for a 15 year old to do but I did it and that responsibility has carried over my entire lifetime. Never been late on any payments from mortgage to credit cards and pretty proud of a 822 credit score.....thanks Dad. Continued working hard at blue collar jobs while many of my friends went on to college....I just wanted to make money. Drove a forklift 2nd and 3rd shifts for about 6 years...Friday nights were rough when I had to go to work and friends wanted to party. Numerous times I went to work and drove that forklift under the influence but I sure could make that truck dance....have to admit I was pretty good at driving one and stacking pallets of bottles 30 feet+ high, even while under shrooms Went on to my current job and have been there for 34 years come January.....could have retired comfortably over 4 years ago but here I am still working and even volunteering for most Saturdays at time and a half. Silver spoon my ass....I have worked hard for everything in life....a bit frugal in some areas. Haven't bought a new car since my 1985 Iroc-z. But extravagant in other areas....have spent nearly 1k already in restocking fireworks for next year....lol. Haha....wow, I think I've only seen 1 or 2 of the wagon versions in real life. Awesome cars for sure, the V is the best overall car I have ever owned and that Wagon is only going up in value....very hard to come by.

You’d have to be fully retarded not to understand that It sucks down the gas with a trailer on though. my riding buddy has the 3.5 EB, he's in the 9's with a clam shell trailer and 2 sleds where I'm in the 14-15 with the same.. I just hate the front door windows on Ford trucks, that stupid dip down just ruins the lines of the truck, looks hideous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
