More snow & truck tips

How about that, we had to wait until spring to get any snow around here. Now I'm not complaining, well maybe a little, because the grass really needed it. Of course race season is coming up so naturally it has to start snowing all the time, but what can you do.

I was asked about F-150 trucks and here's my opinion: If you can get a repossessed '09 model for $15k, take it because that's cheap. I'll tell ya, the new '09 model is a good looking truck too. I think this would also be the case for a '08 model, but the '07 model might be easier to find for around $10k. Obvious things to look for on any truck are, leaks onto the pavement, leaks around the top of the motor, does it rattle while driving, tires still good, and does it smoke at all. You'd want to know about maintenance too, how often was the oil changed, transmission fluid and so forth. Colors, white is so-so, blue is better, black is nice but gray or silver is best!
Oh yeah, is leather really needed, I actually prefer the cloth it's cooler in the summer but leather would probably have heated seats. Have fun looking!!
