I'm a fan of both GM's and Fords. I don't get worked up over either one. My favorite Ford dis is: F**ker Only Runs Downhill, hahaha.

Well its funny because my work truck that I drive at work is a 2012 single cab long bed f150 with a 5.0 and Im allowed to drive it home sometimes. I had it for the weekend once and I did a 0-60 in it with my brother and he was kinda speechless. He just assumed that cause it was ford it was really slow, so when it was actually really fast he didn't have anything to say xD
