Gas Prices Up ... Who Cares!

Yeah, I'm probably the only person who goes out and buys a bigger truck when gas prices go up. Well, my 94 Ranger had 130,000 miles on it and the kids didn't fit in the jump seats anymore so I was ready to move into something else. I tossed around the idea of getting a fuel saving car but I dreaded not having a truck. So ... I justify it by saying, "Hey, I do most of my driving locally anyway." Never mind that the day after I bought it I put 100 miles on it making a hospital visit.

Anyway ... It's a 2002 Ford F150 FX4 (Yeah, sticking with the Ford). It's a pretty sharp truck We'll see how it goes ... If I find that it sucks me dry on fuel cost it may be short-lived.
