Title pretty much says it. I'm in the market for a brand new pre-owned daily driver. 4x4, crew cab, and leather is a must. I want to have some toys in this one so either a very well optioned Lariat or one of the higher trim levels. I'm a touch nervous about getting a 3.5 ecoboost due to the...

My plan is to keep this truck most likely 10 years. Hell, at that point my son will be 16 and maybe it then becomes his first car (assuming we still leave the house at that point and don't just exist in the meta verse / matrix). So yeah, I'm looking for 250k+ miles of longevity, which in this...

My 11' GT had a rattle during cold start that the dealer could never figure out. Usually it was a "could not replicate" deal as it had to be truly stone cold for it to occur. On paper the 3.5 sure seems to make more sense than the 5.0. They sound like ass for sure, but this is a daily driver...

I'm in the market for a truck, and have been focusing on 2018-2020 F-150's, 4x4, crew cab etc.. I really don't have a preference one way or the other between the 5.0 or the 3.5 and feel power wise either one will be sufficient as this truck will tow a boat at some point in its life. My bigger...

Currently I have a Weber Genesis propane grill with a side burner, a Weber Performer charcoal grill, and a vertical cabinet propane smoker. The smoker has really gotten me interested in doing more smoking but it's a pain in the ass. Temp fluctuates a lot and have to keep the little fire box...

How many miles are currently on the truck?

Anyone have any experience with these? I saw one for the first time on the road the other day and noticed the V8 badging which piqued my interest. I was a little put off to see them stickered in the mid $60s but I was blown away to see 2015's with low mileage selling for the high 20's. Used...

Title pretty much says it all. I'm in the market for a new phone and I've narrowed it down to these two given the current sales on them. I have an S7 now that I've been fairly happy with but I'm not married to Samsung either. Thoughts?

Not sure if they are in your area but we bought a bunch of stuff from Haverty' s when we bought our house. Big step up in quality from Ashleys and places like that but not $6k for a couch either. I also found a leather couch and chair that I fell in love with at Lazy Boy. Problem was they...

The more I look the more the Fusion makes the most sense. The SHO isn't bad, but given the size of the car it felt no bigger inside than the Fusion (save for the big ass trunk in the SHO). There are some really great deals on used SHO's though that may be hard to turn down when the time comes.

Anyone have one yet? I think within the next year I need a new daily driver and this fits the bill. Sold the Mustang about a year ago and while it was the right thing to do at the time I find myself longing for something with a little more performance than my current appliance (08 altima 2.5)...

I think I spent about $1400 on the setting. My mom was getting upset that I was taking too long to get engaged and offered me a diamond from her ring that was originally her grandmothers. About 1 carat rock miners cut. Saved me a fortune. Once again procrastinating paid off. Not to mention...

VSP is not the problem. They are merely doing their jobs. I work with them all the time and can't fault them one bit. As someone else posted, a self serving state law maker is largely to blame for the ridiculous speeding laws here. While this is all done allegedly in the name of safety, I...

Stay the hell out of Petersburg and Hopewell. Chester area of Chesterfield County is nice. Colonial Heights isn't too bad either, very blue collar town. After integration in the 60's it is where all the white families that left Petersburg ended up earning it the unoffical name of "Colonial...

So someone on here a while back convinced me to buy some FNMA and all it did was steadily go down. I bought it as a total gamble and then sort of forgot I had it. Could get very interesting!
