Yep, I did. Been reading the manual and getting stuff swapped over and set up. Drives great, I made the right choice of engine for me, love the 5.0 so far. Still hate the looks of it. I didn't have time for pics or forgot or something. My 2005 still looks a lot better! The interior is awesome. It's very quiet and Sync is fantastic.

Aside from the looks glad you're happy with it so far. Hope it's as good as the 05 is! How long before you get rid of the 05?

No big rush. Got to get the wheels swapped out, get it detailed.

Just figured out the mortgage on a 15 year note. I think that we're going that route. It'll be a little higher monthly by around $200 but I am happier the home will be ours when I'm in my 50's compared to my 70's.

Let the "F" bomb go last night in front of the whole neighborhood.....the boy was going to drive me in to urgent care...I was having a reaction to some sulfa antibiotics......as he was backing he was messing around with his phone a really big no no.....clipped my drivers side mirror on the overhead door jamb .....chipped/ cracked some of the plastic on the bottom of the housing......I only had one thing on my mind and that was to get to the doctor.....my wife thought otherwise....I guess I embarresed her pretty good....
