This is a nice clean truck! Looks like it's well optioned too. I wish I was closer and had a pocket full of cash...

I checked it out a while ago. It has a six cylinder. Its not too rotted. The owner was willing to sell. I thought about buying it for some stuff, but moving it around would be expensive. Maybe a year ago when scrap prices were sky high, but I won't get involved with it now.
It was gone when I drove by this morning.

Saw this at the department of printing in Tumwater. Pretty sure I'm gonna drop mine after checking it out. I like it.

the other day one of my neighbors set their stove on fire. don't ask me how. once the smoke cleared there were many fire engines, cops, other fire dept vehicles an ems unit and two tv vans on my street. much ado about nothing actually but while i was walking around with my trusty SONY A100 I spied this sweet F100 so I started shooting it!

yes this is a nice truck! look at the rest of the photos...

I've seen this truck towing a travel trailer out camping twice.
Something about this pic just doesn't jive for me. I mean, not to be judgemental here, but I usually don't think the kind of guy to live in a new-construction McMansion would be a Bump owner. His wife would call it unsightly and what would the neighbors think?
GRRRR! Original comment got deleted after re-login!

Funny thing is that I live in new construction. Not huge crazy houses, just nice homes. Most around us drive reasonably nice cars, I wonder what they all thought when I brought the bump home and parked it in-front of the house. My wife loves the truck, and even lets me park it in the driveway, just one of the cool things about my wife I guess!

Admittedly the bump is looking better the more I do to it, but the wife forced me to put small "under construction" stickers on the window. Sometimes its easier to just give in on these types of issues.

This scenario reminds me of this Montgomery Gentry Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QytPoRLEhF0

Moderators,
possible to make this one a stickie.

One of the local car clubs(mid-cites classic IIRC) was having their summer cruise at Risckies BBQ on Camp Bowie.
I ran by really early , mostly just show staff and the car club officers setting up (several nice Fairlanes).
But this caught my eye.This particular club wont allow any personel info plaques , just a # till after the inspection judges finish their deal.Nevermade contact with the owner. Worthy , I think of posting.

The are photos taken w/ cell phone so please dont judge the ride based on pic quailty
