I know how to "spel" Ast Ak "rite."  I have ADD and you should see what my typing (or whatever is that passes for typing) looks like before I go back and try to fix it. It's pretty scary. I can stare at an error that I know darned well what it should be and just not see it until after I hit the Submit button (if then). Sigh.
What kind of truck do have? I'm driving an '08 Ford F150 Screw (the affectionate name Ford owners have for the Super Crew Cab.). It's the fourth pickup I've had (although not in a row) and the second crew cab. I got it to tow the travel trailer I'm going to move into in a year or two. You think Ast Ak is a strange name? My little truck is named Saoirse (it's Irish for freedom). |
Dear Lady Fitz:
I rented an F-150 Super Cab for four days and loved it. I hated to give it back. Good choice!!
I just have a 2004 GMC Canyon SLE with regular cab.. I have tricked it out a little bit with dual exhaust and Pirelli Scorpian tires and more. It has that off-road option so it sits up high and the automatic locking rear differential is nice. The 5 cylinder engine has been great.
When I bought it I had JUST started on a new job and had been unemployed for 6 months. Money was horribly tight and I had just lost my Olsmobile Aurora Classic in a flash flood. I prayed that I could keep the new job and make the payments. I wanted the Super-Cab but it was either get the SLE option or the big cab. I remember bartering with the dealer for two weeks. He hated me afterward. I was so nearly broke that every $10 was critical. I drove him nuts!! He sold me exactly what I wanted for zero mark-up just to get rid of me.
Now, 6 years later, it looks exactly like new and is my treasure.
