I traded my red truck for a white one.





I couldn't wait any longer. Inspection was past due. I don't think the brakes or tires would have passed. Plus, it's been making some godawful timing chain noises for the last 5000 miles (it's at 51k now), was way down on power and the mileage was starting to suck.
On the upside, I don't have to worry about a timing chain anymore.

Normally you would be right about all of that but Godzillas started eating cams and lifters due to cam lobe delamination at 2k to 40k miles. I'm pretty sure it's just low quality parts causing it.


idk what Motorcraft's deal is with accepting lovely parts but it's been a thing since at least 2011.
see above.

A ford truck without the worst part. A Ford engine. That rules. I've seen a bunch out here in work truck liveries. You did good.

I'm seriously considering going to the sign shop and having them print me some decals from surrounding jurisdictions so I can park wherever the gently caress I want without worrying about it.
I parked behind a white lightning with DC flag on the side when I went to the ESRI convention on Tuesday and confused the daylights out of the guy returning to "his" truck. He tried opening both passenger doors before realizing it wasn't his truck.

I am also seriously considering

It's too bad you didn't go with stop sign red so you could just get Milwaukee M400 Fuel decals made and put them on it.

I literally could not find one that was not some sort of white or grey. There was ONE blue one that was beautiful but it was like 90k and wasn't even a Platinum. No thanks.

Welp. I just got fired.
Well not technically fired, I'm on administrative leave until Wednesday.
But I'm pretty sure on Wednesday I'll be fired.

It says ‘violence from people’ so I assumed that was people who declined repairs and then came back when something broke.

You've never seen how most Mechanic Supervisors treat their techs then.
