After dropping off the trailer, I hopped into my car which is a year 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. The passenger side window promptly opened up by itself. Using the power window switch to try and close it did not work – I could feel the motor running, but no window movement. This is the fifth time the windows broke on me between the two GM cars I owned. I’ve had enough and took this as a sign from above to dump this car.

After doing some reseach on the internet, I decided to head on over to a Ford dealership to look at some trucks. I came back home in a brand spanking new 2008 Ford F150 Super Crew XLT with the 5.4L Triton V8 engine and 3.73:1 rear axle. This baby has a towing capacity of 9,500 pounds and a maximum GCWR of 15,000 pounds. Of course my wife knew nothing of this and was in for a bit of a shock when she got home.

One of my sons, Xavier was pretty upset about the truck… until he discovered it was blue. Now it’s his most favorite ride on four wheels. Kids.

And of course, a picture:
