Vicki L. Filippin August 19, 2008

SWEEET ride, Bill! Built FORD tough as they say. It will give you years and years of great fun and hard work. I had to let out a little sigh of sadness. We had to trade in our new F-150 2 years ago when the gas prices went up and we just sold our 10-year old Ranger cuz our daughter could not grasp the concept of a manual transmission and we needed a third vehicle. I miss my trucks!!

See that pink and white of that Ford Crown Victoria. Friend of mine had a aqua and white with dual hollywood mufflers and to this day I have not heard a better sounding car. I know my new truck would sound just like it it I put dual hollywoods on it. It has a good sound with a single exhaust. It has a 320 HP V8. I got the Sports Package. It really goes if you give it the gas. Our family car is Ford Also. A Mercury Grand Marquis LS Premium. Would you believe that car has a big V8 and gets around 30 MPG. Some smaller ones won't get that good a milage Vicki. I had a large Toyota T100 for years and finally tradeded it in on this F150. You know I got that Toyota and was sorry I did not get a Ford fromt he day I bought that Toyota. Thans for writting and I am happy you like my truck. Bill PS:Got that Elvis Plate at Graceland. #6334339

Ellen Hodges October 26, 2008

Great capture, Bill! Didn'y know your were an Elvis fan. My brother got his autograph years ago. #6664372

Bill Knaps October 26, 2008

Got that plate at the Graceland store. Thanks for the nice comment. Yes I am an old Elvis Fan. When I went To France Elvis was coming back from Germany. He flew in to the base I was flying out of. One of my buddies ran into Elvis while walking to another building. Bill #6664406
