Default Hate to say it, but I have fallen to the darkside ;)

I went and did it. Bought a 2011 F150 4X4 last night, with the new eco boost engine... Go ahead and flame me I know I fall in to the import tuner catagory now.... But I have to say that the little 3.5TT is an impressive little beast and it averaged 19.8 mpg on the ride home...

Still got old red but now I have a 4x4 truck I can take hunting that can't be heard coming from the next county...
