i've been at bragg for about 3 years now (besides deployment), i need a change of pace & scenery...plus, i'd get to travel ALL OVER! =]

Anyone willing to go to Iraq and take care of biz, is entitled to drive WTH they want in my book. BTW, Thanks for your service to our country !!! Much appreciated no matter what the reason is. Stay safe in Afghanistan too !!!

why thank you! =]
...does it help i used to own a chevy car?
haha!

Thatta Girl. OK now you are forgiven. Ford does make a stronger truck chassis in most cases. Not sure about the newer body styles though. So if you got a Chevy car and Ford Truck you're OK. Also, I noticed you said you had a Mustang. I think I were to have to choose between a Camaro/Firebird or a Mustang, I'd probably have to say the Mustang is a better vehicle. I am just not fond of Ford powertrain, otherwise, they are OK and make decent chassis in most cases.

As they say, "Those would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy, usually do" . I just hope I never have to push mine. Its a E350 Box Van. Might be pretty tough to push.

Oh, no I meant he would need a chevy to transport his tools to the ford to fix it.

Yes....2 points for you...

All you guys do is knock on fords my 95 f150 is at 222,000 miles and i can still smoke the tires right off if it. i'm always constanly working on those things you guys call chevys. At least i'd rather own a chevy than own a dodge.

Umm, I think there was just some friendly bashing, but we are trashing Ashley's Welcome to the fourm thread with it. But its kinda funny, the guy mentioning we are picking on Fords, Bashes Chevy every time he leaves a post whether it be to welcome somone to the forum or tell them they are low on washer fluid. Were you not expecting some bash back??? Might be something to think about. Don't take it personal Towtruck. I still like you brother. I keep a tow strap in my truck just for friends like you who need a tow home occasionally. With a name like Towtruck, I imagine you have that taken care of though.

[Crmzendrgone]

Always friendly I said in one of the post when i am down in the dump and need help a ford is always welcome!!!!

BESIDES IT IS ALL AMERICAN, RIGHT?

Fords are ok for helping...My buddy pulled me home 10 miles with a toe rope and his f250, guys were laughing and pointing...good times ..just want to rub it in that they fall apart but can RUN great!...

[Towtruck]

LOL I will be honest i have had to pulled out of the mud by a 07 2500. oh and had to be pulled home by that same 2500 a week later. the entire time my buddy was living it up. Didn't hear the end of it for awhile after that.
