I'm really gonna miss her
I was waxing Eloise (my 83 AMC Eagle) when a guy walked up behind me wanting to buy the F150. My dad is going to sell her, I want ot make a music video tribute to her, but my computer can't.
She's been nothing but good to us until I blew the transmission by dropping her into drive at 3000 RPMs, maybe even higher. I really love that truck, and our new truck is a big time POS (2004 Adrenalin Edition Explorer Sport Trac) Other then the looks, interior, and stereo, it is crap, heavy truck with a tiny engine (245CID SOHC (Single Overhead Cam) V6 with PLASTIC VALVE COVERS AND A PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD) She was the greatest truck I've ever driven, I think I liked this truck more than the J10 and 37 Stude COupe Express. I will own a truck just like this one eventuallly.
I hope the new owner takes good care of her. I am never going to mess around in a vehicle again, which is what caused this one to die.

Well at least I can understand why your father got a truck with a lawn mower engine in it, He doesn't want you blowing up the transmission in it. Keep in mind plastic intake runners stay cooler then metal thus giving an engine a cooler air charge which increases horse power.

You know, this is getting a little annoying, always going on about my Eagle.
It was funny at the beginning, now it is just annoying.
Plus, he can't sell a car that I am paying for, he would just feel too bad.
Yesterday, my brother punched my Eagle, I nearly knocked him out, my you don't want to know what I would do if somebody really messed with her.

AMC Eagle FTW!!! (This coming from a guy who sold his F150 and now rocks a Dodge, eesh)
Sucks about your F150 man. I know you will miss it. I miss mine terribly. On a good note, now you can be looking for another one.
