Ladies and Gentlemen...........my new vehicle.......

Let me introduce.........The Blue Bomber













I picked her up Friday, 10/15/04, I absolutley LOVE HER! I'm still trying to sell the CL, but she'll be gone soon enough, unfortunatley. It's definetly a change, but it was one for the better in my book.

Stickered at 25,000, got it for 20,000 OTD.

Stats:
2004 Ford F-150 XLT 4.6L V8

Does it just sit there while you are away at school? How did you get plates for it so fast?

Dude, Rams are everywhere. On the way to the dealership I saw at least 30. The new body style isn't quite that common. Yet.

As for plans, I'm going to try to sell the CL with everything on it and start fresh, but I'll probably end up transferring over some stuff like the Alpine, subs, etc. I want to get some larger rims, and even larger tires, and maybe raise it an inch or two. I'm definetly going to swap out the cheap plastic exterior pieces with some chrome ones.

I wanted the black interior, but there was a little problem of picking what they had left mang. 04s are scarce.

I would have asked you guys, but............damn I don't have a reason Knowing this group, you would have conviced me to keep my CL somehow.

The truck is nice, but I can’t understand why an 18-year old college student living in sunny FLORIDA needs a big truck like that ???
