I was thinking about doing the same thing in November.
But I'm thinking about something with 2 wheels.

Have any plans for it other than to keep it running?

Nice grab. I've been thinking of getting a beater DD for the MPG's but that will just push my F150 off even farther.

Well the $500 cost qualifies it for 24 Hours of LeMons at the end of it's life. That's my vote for what you do with it later down the road.

Smart way to go... That's a little more than I paid for my Colorado and it's paid for itself with fuel savings probably 10 times in the year I've had it.

I'd get an F150 now if it wasn't for the wife wanting a Focus. We'll get that after Silver Lake
