Well - I got my tail stepped on by - of all things - a land barge old Lincon
Towncar. There was traffic around so I couldnt really drag with him... but off
the red light he was able to easily out gun me. But then again I have a V6 -
hes got a V8 and I have lots of weight in my bed. (tools - gear - junk etc) ...
I already placed two orders today for some new parts for the truck. Nothing
performance-wise - some chrome valve covers, chrome water neck, and two
interior lights for the back of the bed to mount on the ceiling of the cap.
Performance mods are not far off however! I'm already planning my winter
projects. But still no garage! Gotta keep looking.
