A little Ford bashing story for everyone to enjoy.
This week I had to travel to Oregon for business (from Conn). Needless to
say, that meant I had to leave the Dak, and head for the rental car agency
to get the keys to my 2 door speck, or whatever they rent as a compact these
days. To my surprise, I show up, and they say "Well Art, we don't have any
compact cars left, so you get a free upgrade." They gave me a brand new
F150 quad cab XLT 4x4 with 700 miles on it!
What a POS! About the only thing I like on the Ford better was the brakes
and the height. Everything felt cheap and plastic inside. It had the 5.4L
V8, but I'd venture a guess that most of our V6 crowd could take this thing.
It was nice to get a truck for a rental, but it wasn't nearly as fun as the
Dakota.
