Call me crazy......

Ok, this may sound simple but........

I've only had my F150 for a bit over a month. I had an S-10 several years back and regreted not having a truck since I sold it. Anyway the whole purpose for this post is.............

Runnin' over curbs is cool! I've nailed the curb a few times with my wifes stationwagon. I've even tagged it with my last Oldsmobile. About 2 weeks after buying the truck I was doing a U-turn and quickly ran out of road. Traffic was pretty busy so instead of stopping and reversing I "goosed it and ate that curb up " It was smoother than the feel of the interstate when you run over the darn cracks.

As I said call me simple and crazy, but I got a kick out of it. It is an extended cab and has a better turning radius I feel than my wifes wagon. Who needs a tight turning radius though when you have a truck with a perfectly good set of AT tires?

Since then I've looked for excuses to drive through front yards, small ditches, over curbs, etc. Haven't found an excuse yet but...........

Next time I'll buy a 4wd so I can tear up some median strips

OK. "You're crazy!"

On the other hand, that makes me crazy too. If the curb isn't too bad, I'd rather driver over it than back up and go around. I do that in parking lots, but I never drive over curbs that have grass and plantings.

what? you guys dont like to kick it into 4wd and pull out int the median and start mudding or driving over rocks and stuff that are also in the median? Whats wrong with you all? You dont drive around on friday nite, jump the curb on the side of the road, pull up in some 70 year old womans prized flower bed and start tearing some **** up? Man you all dont know how to have fun...

Usually I don't mess with curbs. I just slap my bib overalls on and drive my 150 up and down the stairs of the local orphanage. WEEEE-HA! You should see those kiddies scramble!

Just doing my part to ensure that pickup truck owners have a positive community image.

I hope you check your front end parts for damage often.

OK - your crazy.
