I see you as more of a Prius guy.

I never gave my review of the 2012 Charger SRT-8. I'll sum it up with two words: wear Pampers.

My friend Dale's test numbers:

0-60: 4.19 seconds

1/4 mile: 11.94 @ 108 MPH

Top Speed: 194 MPH (track limited)

70-0 MPH breaking distance: 133 feet

Road Holding (Skid Pad / Slalom): 88.7

Sick. Fucking sick.

Here's the classic Super Bee model:

I think I like it best in red, though.

Yeah, I caught hell with that for some reason.

We were fortunate enough to run into another friend who owns a 2010 BMW M-5. As some of you know, I dig that car a lot too, but it's not as bare-bones, knock-you-in-the-teeth as Dale's Charger, but it ain't off by much either. And considering the upgrade in luxury and build quality, it's quite the prize for $80K (Dale's Charger would probably run you about $53K).

anything named "Trac" sounds gay and probably is

Fine, you can keep your Man Card for now but your dues are going up.

"We were fortunate enough to run into another friend who owns a 2010 BMW M-5."

The only way I'd ever buy a car like that is if I won the lottery. But if I won the lottery, that's the car I'd buy. I love those M series Beemers..

the M series is a badass car.

unfortunately I'm at a point where I'd rather my car haul lumber than haul ass

F-150.

As if we didn't know that already. I've seen other pictures of you, E, but the one of you holding the rifle and that sneaky grin's the one that stays in my mind the most.

And Ford build's good trucks, so if the price was right on the Sport Trac, I don't think there was much to worry about overall. Dad's had his F-150 Limited for eight years now and there's not been a single problem with it other than replacing the rotors a couple of years ago. Granted, he's also only put 50K on the sucker but still...

I have a F-150. It's been a great truck. It's more dependable than my Mercedes.

Hizzy III · Post by **Hizzy III** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:59 am

Unfortunately, I ran mine into the ground after 176K. Didn't get the radiator checked, went up to Oklahoma to hang out in the casinos and then on the way back, a cracked a head.

Then again, it might have just been the Okie gods getting back at me for all my shit talking. Well, fuck you still, gummies.

I have few regrets from my years here. Posting that picture however tops the list.

Yeah, I hear you, e. I regret mentioning that I have an RN license.

I didn't know that....Did you have a pinning ceremony?

Gator's occasional "Nurse Bama" references had to have undoubtedly contributed to such regret.

My ranger has 260k miles on and I am still driving it. All I do is change the oil every 3000 miles and airfilter every 6000 miles. Keep all other fluids topped off and rotate tires every 3 months. The Sport Trac which is basically the Ranger on steriods would be a nice upgrade for me and with having 3 people to haul makes more sense. (cues fat joke from Hedge.....bastard...). Even though it has the short bed, still good for hauling stuff and with the V6, easy on gas.

Suck on that bitches.
