I'm Mike Rowe, and this is my truck.

There's a wonderful Monty Python routine that has two of the pepperpot ladies sitting on a bench. One ask the other if she's been shopping. Then she asks what the other bought.

"A piston engine" is the reply.

Today, I bought a piston engine, along with the Ford Ranger it came wrapped in.

Nice Ford

With the rebates and all, we got the payments down to a reasonable level (and can refinance next year.) It's a pretty basic truck, but comes with a bed liner.

[livejournal.com profile] kshandra, of course, has dibs on it for That Thing In The Desert.

The most shocking thing was seeing our credit scores. 700+ across the board. As the finance dude put it, it's good credit but not deep credit. So we keep making payments and keep building things up.

I bought a truck.

I need beer. Stat!

you need a gun rack & an NRA sticker to go in between the GD bears & the crossed rifles in the center of the back window. the jump wings and the Ranger tab are great side bars..... left & right, or centered to one side, with a tour list on the other.....


WOOT for you! i'll drink several beers in your honor.....

(good an excuse as any..... %-)

Why do you think I bought a Ford Ranger?

Need the crossed rifles, plus a couple of Giants stickers. That and I want a "Gun Control Means Using Both Hands" next to a "Godless Liberal and Damn Proud of It!" right next to each other.

The NRA pisses me off no end. Call me back when Wayne LaPierre is run out on a rail. And there's no room for a gun rack. Damnit.
