I've always thought that was the dumbest saying.

The way the shifts line out, there are 3 Mondays and 3 Fridays a week, depending on which shift you're on.

Guy I know bought a brand new 21 F150 King Ranch with about every option possible according to him. Even has massaging seats.

We were talking about engines the other day and he says his truck has the 2.7EB and that’s the only option that was available.

I don’t buy it. What do you say?

I wouldn’t think so either.

His wife has an explorer and he says that’s the 3.5.

Maybe he got them reversed.

I don’t buy the only engine available statement either.

Depending on his wife's Explorer it could have the 3.5L NA, 3.5L Eco or 3.0L Eco.

His truck definitely has the 3.5L Eco or the 5.0L.

Mack Leadership approved of a deal, but membership rejected it and went on strike today.

"DETROIT (AP) — Union workers at Mack Trucks went on strike Monday after voting down a tentative five-year contract agreement that negotiators had reached with the company.

The United Auto Workers said 4,000 unionized workers walked out at 7 a.m., adding to labor turmoil in the industry that has ensnared all three big Detroit automakers.

With those workers joining picket lines, the total number of UAW members that are on strike now exceeds 30,000 across 22 states, the union said Monday."
