There is a tooth fairy

Traveling Texans · 02-27-2012, 09:41 AM

There just has to be, because when I woke up Sunday morning there was a new Ford King Ranch sitting in my drive way, so if a fairy can bring a truck they can surely leave a quarter for a tooth or whatever the going price for a tooth is now. I'll see if I can post a picture.

Not the tooth I don't have any loose ones right now.

OK, forgot to describe the truck; 2012 F350, CC, SRW, LWB, 4X4, Powerstroke Diesel, No joke my WIFE made me do it.

SWEET! I want one! What did you have to put under your pillow?

Mike; All the green stuff I could find. Hey, where bouts are you in MI.? I try to come there at least once every couple of years. Have a buddy in Muskegeon I was in the service with.

I am on the other side of the state - about as far north as you can go in the suburbs of Detroit and still be in the suburbs (although the sprawl continues northward). I just returned this past summer after spending a year in Houston on an assignment for work. Didn't really care for leaving the family behind here while I was down there, but the winter was a lot more comefortable...

That truck fairy is wonderful isn't she? She brought me a 2009 F250 a few weeks ago.

Congrats...you will really enjoy your new ford.....I have had my 2011 for almost two years now and the truck makes towing fun again.....

We are both looking forward to hooking up the trailer and see how it feels. Wepick it up next week from the shop so we will have about a 100 mile trip to check it out.
Mike, I have been to Detroit 2004, for my daughters wedding.

Wow!
If Joyce got me a new truck I'd buy her a new snowblower.

Well, DH bough t me our truck as an early valentines present. I gave him the new bedroom 32" flat screen TV for valentines day. I guess I'm not your typical woman, I want a truck not roses for valentines day! All this from a couple that doesn't really celebrate valentines day. Then again, it was a really good excuse for new things!

madisins · 03-06-2012, 12:09 AM

Who would not prefer a truck over roses? I think it's obvious which decision will be better especially for a longer term?

And celebrating Valentine's Day in a truck would also be an option!I personally got a box of chocolate, but since I like chocolate I could live with that

I tried your trick with the truck fairy and put a pile of cash under the pillow (albiet a much smaller pile) and lookey what I got!

Now I will need to hook it up and update the profile pic this weekend

A "NEW" snowblower---wow!! That means she has one already, you really spoil your BH, she needs to get you a new truck just for spoiling her the way you do.

Congrats. It is a nice looking truck. What year is it? Is that a diesel I spy? If so, you won't be able to wipe that grin off your face this weekend when you hook it up and tow for the first time!

MrMike25BH · 03-22-2012, 02:35 AM

It is a 94 with the 7.3 engine and not a speck of rust. I've been grinnin for days...

MrMike25BH · 03-22-2012, 02:45 AM

I put the deposit on it Tuesday and pick it up this afternoon. Thedealer i am getting it from also owns a detail shop. I bought it before he had a chance to wash it, so part of the deal was he give ithis shop's top of the line detail service. Baby is going to shine!

Traveling Texans · 03-22-2012, 03:25 PM

MrMike; I like it. Ilike the look the visor give it.

Traveling Texans · 03-22-2012, 03:33 PM

Well I have about 1300 miles on the truck so far. I am anxious to hook up to the trailer and see how it is going to pull. Right now the computer tells me I am getting around 16 MPG,not watching it too close right now, I hope that will improve in a few thousand miles. My wife would not drive it for two weeks after we bought it, she finally did and had a prety big smile on her face

She was sick the next day so I suggested maybe she shouldn't drive it to much for fear of making her sick again

MrMike25BH · 03-23-2012, 12:16 AM

Bill - that King Ranch is still my dream truck....one of these days I'll get mine. There are a couple in the area here for sale that would match the Zinger perfectly.

Sorry to hear your wife got sick after driving the truck. i think you are on the right path with your remedy. I know I am that way with tequila these days...
