Extra...


Sorry, I couldn't help myself. (I hope so too.)

Perhaps there will be a few extra shivs on an upcoming Friday sale for us late to the party and SOL

Definitely hope to see some.

 

[yoko]

Mmmmmmmm shiv !

This appears to be the right thread so here it goes…

Nate, you get one of your three Fords running yet?

 

[Murphjd25]

yoko too soon?

I wouldn't be surprised if Nathan drives out to Washington, stops 12 times to swap out belts, alternator, radiator, clutch, transmission and a brake job.
Pulls up to your house, Murph, sends Jo in to kick your ass, turns around and drives back to NC.

Just sayin'.

Don't poke the bear.

I am laughing with you. Not at you.
I’ve also had some drink … so maybe at you, too.

It’s not a new thing, my old 71 Mach 1 back in high school would go through 2 quarts & a can of CD2 every 100 miles

One day Nathan is going to pick up a machine tool in Maine or California, drive out to get it, and return with a truck that has had more than 100% of its parts replaced on the trip.

I think Nathan should figure out all the weaknesses of the trucks, fabricate replacement parts, and sell them. Since ‘bullet-proofing’ Ford engines is a profitable endeavor, ‘blade-proofing’ should be too.

I have never used that system so I'm not sure but it looks okay to me

That is sad and funny at the same time. Sorry you are spending time and money, but still cheaper than a new $100k computerized, plastic wrapped truck.

BTW I have a different perspective since my dream vehicles are a Unimog and a Sherp!
