traded the civic for my first RWD with 300HP!
 
it was a sad moment, but i'm over it now. traded in the 2002 SiR for this 2004 F150 XLT super cab 5.4L V8 Triton. my first rwd vehicle ever. bought it for the business that will be starting up soon. i've had it for a day and it is already a mess!

thanks, i'll hold you to that. ;) it is going to be related to industrial manufacturing machinery/equipment. i'll have to take some pics of the stuff i'm doing right now but i'm not sure if the company allows pictures in their plant... so far i'm incorporated, just trying to line up a space to start the shop and buy some machinery... i'm heading to an auction tomorrow. :)

Use your fabbing skills and make a sweet brushguard, running boards, roll bar with KC Lites. :)

yeah, after one day of driving this thing i'm already getting a code so it will be going back to where i got it from and be fixed.... i'm not too happy. >:( it was giving a lean bank 1 code so i'm thinking either the o2 on that side is toast or there is a problem with the injectors. it sometimes stutters almost like it is misfiring.

thanks for the input, i'll mention it to them when i take it in. i'm not really all that concerned about it.

on a side note, i get my space to start my shop on the 19th! i picked up a mill at an auction yesterday and it will be delivered the week i open the doors. hopefully i'll be able to find some other equipment at used dealers or another auction soon otherwise i'll have to buy some stuff new. :-\
