No Raptor or GT350R for the Chicago show, so I was a little pissed. The GT made up for it though. The GT350 was there as well.

Also test drove a 2015 XLT screw with the 2.7L Ecoboost. I asked if they had any 5.0's and they said no. Had heated cloth seats, the dual panel moonroof, and navigation. Needless to say, I'm impressed. The interior was so quiet and even for a XLT, it felt so refined. Visibility from the drivers seat seeing out of the windows is better too since they lowered the window line a little. Also liked seeing the engine hours for the current oil change, total engine hours, and individual tire pressures in LCD screen too.

The Ford expert that rode with me was a cute blonde girl who actually knew her trucks and knew beyond what she was told to know. So, that was a plus.

I'll put some pics of the GT and GT350 in a thread later today.

Houston seems to be missing out on the "winter weather" fun -- still in the 60's and drizzly here this morning. It's a day off from school for the boy so I'll have to juggle work and a 9-year-old today.....

No, he didn't want to say anything derogatory and get stuck in the anti club with the rest of us. had he loved it, he would have said so.

Well, I guess I spoke too soon -- went out with the boy around 9:30 to get some morning doughnuts and the temperature had dropped about 25-degrees from when I went out to get the paper at 7:30! Danged chilly out there now!

Been there a couple times (Maui once, and Oahu the other) and had a good time, even though I'm not much of a "beach" person. I enjoyed Maui the most since we had incredible "digs" and I preferred the laidback vibe of the island.

Oddly enough, my perfect vacation would be something more like Maine in the fall or Lake Tahoe in the winter -- the ocean and roasting in the sun has never been that much of a draw for me.....???
