I stopped by the Ford Dealership yesterday, for a look at the new 2019 F-150 aluminum pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive. I wanted to sense that new truck "feel" before they become old. The salesperson (a nice looking lady wearing a “RESIST” lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat next to me, describing the truck and all its "wonderful" options. The seats were of particular interest. She explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. Feeling like messing with her, I mentioned that this must be a CONSERVATIVE truck. Looking a bit angry, she asked why I thought it was a CONSERVATIVE truck. I explained that if it were a LIBERAL truck, the seats would just blow smoke up your ass year-round! I had to walk back to the dealership but it was worth it.
Really! The owner of the dealership might be interested that they just lost a sale (whether or not they actually did) because of the sales person wearing a RESIST lapel pin.
Let them all us pins and or bumper stickers to self identify.. We will know who they are then .. Especially if things take the grand dump!!
The only problem with a conservative truck is that it won't turn left. Small price to pay because you also don't have to give it gas even when it doesn't feel like working. You also don't have to find a way to get it out of your basement every time you want to drive it somewhere.
And, that right there; is why I shouldn't have had that 17% ABV Stout after dinner.... Damn tasty beer, though!!
Doe's anyone believe for a micro second that that woman would hesitate to complain to your boss if she felt insulted by a pin you wore? Lets just say a american flag pin? Or perhaps some symbol of Christian faith?? I have zero doubts that she would feel quite smug with herself if anyone of us got fired from our job because of her complaint.
Had a 2010 Ford 250 extended cab 4 wd pickup towed to the garage last week. Won't start, spins but no attempt to fire, put ether into intake, after the mass air sensor as that would be destroyed by ether, and no fire, it is a super something V8 gas. Well it has 8 single cylinder engines with a common crank. No distrib, no carb, each cylinder has its own ignition system and fuel injector, no way to trouble shoot without computer, may be a sensor somewhere, or the computer, . It has 140,000 miles so well out of warranty, hope to find out today what it will cost me to fix it. New cars with computers, radar braking, anti roll over steering, the whole 9 yards, will probably be scrapped because something electrical failed and cost of module is more than value of the truck or the problem is wiring and they can not find it. Our vehicles are being destroyed by the mandated safety, pollution control, and now mileage standards. Don't need any stinking EMP, the manufacturer and the government are destroying our vehicles as it is. Waiting to see what throwing a load of fire wood into the bed will do to that alum bed, already seeing how a minor wreck really ruins the sheet alum. While the subject may be a joke, running into more and more "help" at the businesses that have tats, piercings, attitudes, etc, that would not have been tolerated even 15 years ago. Still have a problem with people that I can't identify their gender and being screamed at when I use the wrong pronoun.
That's your problem right there - your truck is a millennial. Millennials mostly complain and refuse to work.
Well problem was starter not spinning it fast enough, fuel pump not putting out enough pressure, bad cables and connections on batt cables and ground bonding, resetting things, etc. With towing it comes to about $1200 or almost 1 month Social Security check.
Did not take the .Gov Bailout and still have fewer problems than those who took the bailout and could of used the 'free money' to fix their vehicles problems and recalls!
An thats why the newest of my two trucks, is still 24 years old. Sure it has a few problems that need fixed, but like its owner it has a severe lack of givadamn & works any way. It just don't care if its not supposed to be able to do it, it does any ways. Its an F-150.
