I have been sitting here reading this forum ever since you emailed me the link two months ago skagel. It all just reconfirms what i already knew about you. Skagel your King Ranch is just a truck.. Drive the darn thing in the salt and just trade it in for a new one every year like i do. I know you can afford it. I believe we all need to help poor skagel to seek out some therapy for her obsession. Keeping the truck in a heated garage, naming it, talking about it as if it was human, need i go on?

I also contribute to a Wristwatch Forum where expensive timepieces are debated.
A while ago one of the few lady contributors took delivery of a new timepiece......You'd have thought it was a virgin birth !
The fuss and the eulogy about this "watch", then the follow up of all the congratulations.
I tell you.......this don't get close!
It is very innocuous, inoffensive, and quite acceptable.
Me and my truck's tailpipe have a very close relationship.

 

you forgot...

Going to the garage, sitting in the truck and going,
"VROOOM...VROOM!!!"
"Eeeerrrrk....."
"Holy Smokes Batman!"
"Hang on Robin!...The Riddler is one adjective from justice!"

 

Gentleman i have known this girl for two years. She is obsessed. I call her and the first words out of her mouth never fail are about her truck and how much she loves it, or what new thing she has done to it. I think she has a boyfriend, but i have never heard one word about him. It is always Thomas this Thomas that. The girl has a web page dedicated to her truck, her desktop is her truck, her screen saver, yep you guessed it, is her truck, she doesn't have pictures of family and friends on her desk, she has her truck, it wouldn't surprise me if she carried a picture of her truck in her wallet. If she were half as obsessed with her boyfriend as she is about her truck maybe the poor girl would be married by now. That guy has got to be jealous, and jealous of a truck. Now that is just not right. At one point before "the arrival" or birth as she calls it she would stumble over her words just thinking about the darn thing. Now if Ford wants to advertise this truck they need to use Sarah. After listening to her talk about the truck you'll want one. She almost got me to buy one.

 

I am almost as obsessed with mine as she is hers. I wash it every weekend, and wax it every three weeks. I have put an additional $4 grand into it over the price I paid, and I am very proud of it. It right now ranks number one on my list of loves. A very close second is my dog (I think the reason the truck outranks the dog is because I put more time and money into making my truck what it is, and my dog will always be faithful, as long as I let her ride in the back of the truck). You all should cut her some slack, as she is not the only one. I'm impressed that a woman is as attached to her truck as she is. Usually it's the men that grow so attached to a car that it consumes them. If there were more women like Sarah, more women would understand when us men baby our trucks more than we do them.

Just my 2 cents worth.

 

yuval aka coreman,
ok you hit me where it hurts man. you just better watch yourself today because i am gonna be down in toledo picking up something for....yes my truck...my thomas....the love of my life...my obsession...and i know where you work...maybe if you gave a little more attention to your screw you wouldn't have to trade it in for a new one every year....ever try washing it?....didn't think so.

dufunnel,
thanks for backing me man. what kinda dog you got?

 

Has she got one ?

DAMN....all that wasted effort.

(PS...I've got a Bentley....and a Jaguar....and an MG....and 2 houses...and 2 boats....and a big......







ego!)
Are you impressed Sarah....Don't answer that!

 

.

 

She's not married ? Might just be hope for me yet !
honey , you can move down south with me ... we don't get much snow , and we don't have salt all over the roads. I'll even let you park yours in the garage.

 

OMG! ROTFLMAO!
yeah and i am the one who needs therapy....i don't think so...ya wanna take in a chick that you have no idea how old, much less what i look like man...i could be a short,fat phsyco....hmmm....maybe not....SC huh? i have more than one vehicle can i bring them all? oh and i don't cook, i have a cleaning lady, and i absolutely will not grocery shop!!! but i will maintain the vehicles...oil changes etc...

 

 

I absolutely cannot believe that you are all siding with skagel on this one. The girl is absolutely nuts. Did i mention that she refused the first King Ranch because it had a minor scratch? She wouldn't even let them repair it. She tool one look and said "I don't want it"

You gentelman don't have a chance with this girl. She would be to busy checking out your truck to even acknowledge your existence. She checks out trucks like we check out girls in bikini's.

And please don't ever. I mean never bring up the topic of guns. She won't shut-up.

p.s. I still love ya Sarah

 

 

Chuckle... Guess what, I did the same thing with my first King Ranch. The first one delivered to me had a paint run down the driver's side rear door. I found it the second day I had it home and took it back and told them to get me a different one, that if I paid that much for a truck I wanted it to be perfect, to not have paint work already at two days old. So I got a different one. Goodness, more and more similarities.. Hmm..

Skagel,
My dog is a Black Lab mix. Very sweet. Right now the only woman in my life, and also the only one who will always be faithful.

 

black lab that is totally cool...i love dogs....had a chocolate lab as a kid...we used to eat tomatoes in the garden together....what that means i don't know....have a cat now...hate cats...mom got it for my son when i was away on a business trip and now i can't get rid of her....i wish i had a dog...maybe i'll get one for valentines day.......english bulldog..hint, hint
