Ok, Ok, already! I confess. I have a '97 F150 4wd that is rather hard on
fuel. I guess that you could sort of call it an SUV as I have a fibreglas
camper top on the back of it that is my sleeping quarters at the race track.
Why do I drive it? I can't get anybody to pay me anything for it and it
still pretty much looks and acts brand new with 90K miles. The main reason
I keep it, I guess, is it has been paid for since two years after I got it
and it does NOT lock the doors for me upon reaching a certain speed. I like
that. Imagine that . . . I can still think for myself for when I want my
doors locked ;^).
Also, I run over top of little GTIs and don't even notice the bump. I just
think to myself that the state of WV really should get to fixing them
potholes.
