The way out is through
Default New tow rig!

Some of you have been following my search for a tow vehicle... well it's finally over!

Yesterday I picked up a 2001 Ferd F-250 Superduty!

7.3L Powerstroke Diesel
250 hp
505 ftlb
3300 rpm redline
Long bed (this truck is ginormous)
4WD
only 51,000 miles!

The only thing wrong is that it's red. So much for blue > red... looking in my drive way, apparently 2red = blue.

The only question now is whether or not I rent a U-haul trailer to go to Hawthorne or not... there's no way I can buy the trailer I want in time to leave Friday night.

Two more things: first, it's weird driving a vehicle I actually fit in w/ room to spare; and second, Subaru rubber floor mats almost fit in a Ford truck if you swap driver and passenger sides and rotate one of them 180deg.
