This is the Truck that Could

A while back I was watching Ice Road Truckers when they were talking about the EcoBoost F 150 and thought they were full of it when they pulled a stuck semi out of the ice with a 4X4 f150 ecoboost.. well a couple of weeks ago a buddy of mine ran their winnebago motorhome out of gas on the hill outside my house. I maneuvered my F150 ecoboost out of my driveway and hooked up a tow rope to the motorhome, stuck it in drive and pulled. the wheels did not spin the motor did not strain , it just took off like i had no load and pulled the motorhome up the hill to the curb .

Mustang Surprise

High School Memories with My Ford

In high School I owned a Ford Cortina. This was an English Ford they imported for several years. It was the size of a Ford Pinto, had a 4 cyl. engine and 4 speed transmission. I was the “Bus” for my friends and we would pack 6 people in this little car. Everyone on Monday would kick in 50 cents and we would drive for a week on this. It was probably the most fun vehicle i ever owned and developed such an attraction for it that I actually owned 3 of them at the same time. Read more…

Brotherhood Mustang Club

This photo was professionally taken this past summer of our three boys sitting on the back of our 1968 Mustang convertible. We have had this car for the past 3 years. The selling feature for us when we bought it was the fact that it was so well built, heavy, and when the doors close there is the crisp sound of metal on metal. Read more…
