No offense to those older members, I'm talking about the select 60+ yr olds that become bitter angry old *****. Again nothing against older people, just that select group of them.
We are heading down that way next Friday. Hopefully the weather is decent. Anything can be better then minus 20 degrees Celsius! The f-150 will like the warm weather too!

Haha I'm doing the opposite, I'm leaving SC for Calgary next week. My GF is going to Florida so she'll be tanning while I'll be playing in the white stuff.

We'll be down to Gibsonville to take our 2012 ParkLiner (fiberglass travel trailer) in for warranty repairs May 19-23 which will take up to a full week, so rented a 1st floor condo on the Outer Banks to wait it out. We're both 61, but neither look that old or behave that old, much to the consternation of our kids when they were younger. Now they join in the fun!

Can anybody with an F-150 be an angry old ****? I guess stranger things have happened.

A few updates on my truck... Nothing too major though. Washed it a couple days ago but rained pretty good yesterday here in central FL so I used some Meguair's Quik detailer and cleaned it up.

Yesterday I had a new headunit put in, Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS. I love it. Bluetooth, hands-free calling, Pandora capable (with iPhone connected through USB, not my favorite but I can live it).

Also cleaned out my interior today and took a couple pics of my seat covers. The brand is IGGEE, but I bought them off a forum member. Fit tight like a glove (ignore the bubble in my driver's seat, had to fix that), and I'm waiting for some more funds so I can get backseats.
Pics are below; I'm very happy with my truck!

04+ don't have torsion bars, they have coilovers. I already have 2" spacers in the front

Took the car and the truck to get washed. My back is killing me otherwise I would've done both myself along with the bike.

Both look showroom ready!!!

Installed Philips Crystal vision bulbs in my heads and fogs, removed the FX2 decals from the bed and started on my custom front grill emblem. Its a 9" OEM emblem, sanded smooth, painted gloss black with a red Ford overlay and then will be clearcoated.

[MENTION=146349]goneFXcrazy[/MENTION], I'm 60, but I know exactly the ones your talking about. Inconsiderate bunch of (deleted expletive here). There's still quite a few there right now, but they are slowly migrating back home.
