My daily driver is a 2006 silverado.
I've also had a 1963, 1976 and 1995 silverado.
My 95 had a 454 and could pull a tree out of the ground.

No worries there John!
I strongly believe we are a product of our upbringing.
My dad drove chevy and Pontiac.
Me too.
If you grew up in a Ford, you might buy one later.
Best and fastest car I ever drove and my dream car is a 1965 1/2 GTO, 389 tri power.
Literally ripped the tires right off of it.
Sexy too. 🤩

@tbrown Oddly enough, I did grab a pic of a Chevy towing a Kia on my way home earlier. They have to work their way up to towing Fords

Super sorry your car broke down John!
Glad Tim was there to save you!!!
 
peppers and radish are looking pretty good. Finally the sweet potato broke some ground. will need to dump some more dirt on it soon. cucumbers and squash are on their way too. Going to try pineberries. not sure how yet. I'm thinking hanging pots so I can over winter them in the garage so they don't freeze and can keep them going.

I've also had 2 Ford Rangers which were good little trucks.
My wife has a 2016 explorer with the eco boost and it's the fastest car from 0 to 60 I've ever driven.
So far it's the only car/truck/vehicle I've never had a problem with.

Love the ecoboost!!

It really is beautiful Joel. I used to look at your tank before I built mine and swear I'd have a gsp backwall like you did. I'm still growing out a nice little chunk of it. I'll still do that if I don't cover the wall with sps frags lol
