Nice fleet! I like the "M colors" stripe on the left wall of the front-facing garage.

Nice stable of vehicles you got there!!

[weareweird69]

All of you guys, and girls, have some nice vehicles other than the X5, meanwhile I keep on driving my old junk LOL

The wife drives the X5, which we're currently in-between our old one, and "new" one that is being shipped over to us.... However

My Daily is my 95 F-250 with 406,000 miles on it. Its the silver one, it makes about 500hp/1000ftlbs, not bad for an old dinosaur.

The 93 Lightning is somewhat of my dream vehicle. Ive had it for about 14 years now, and Ive had a TON of fun with it.

The mustang is an 03 Cobra that I picked up back in 2006. It doesn't know what rain is, let alone daylight anymore.

The dump is a 95 F-Superduty (15,000GVW) that was fully restored over the past 8 years by yours truly. Its a conglomeration of many parts and options that were quite rare, or never existed in 1995.

The Blue pickup is my F350, its a workhorse, and rides like one, but loves gas stations with the 460 thats under the hood. And you can see my pathetic excuse for a garage that came with our house. I call it the shed. LOL

Ive got some other odds and ends, but nothing newer than the X5

Fellow long-time Ford guy here. Drove Louisvilles at work all through the '80s and '90s. Love the F350; I bought a stripper F350 brand new in '85, mainly because of the Dana 60 front axle which nobody else offered at the time. Love the 1-ton dump truck; that's a real dump body you've got there, with a cab protector. Really nice fleet you have.

I've got an '02 Excursion Limited with a 'stroke with a Gail Banks Stage I kit on it, that I'm sadly going to be forced to replace in the next few years. The frame has some serious rusty areas on it, as most vehicles of that age do in the area where I live. I'm not ready to part with the truck, but I have to move on to a new vehicle that I can tow and (perhaps) plow with and not have to worry about its structural integrity.

Thanks for sharing your fleet.

Thanks!! Yeah, the 1985 F350 was the first year for the solid axle again. It lives on to this day, which is a good selling point for a lot of people still. Thats a shame about the excursion, those are big money items anymore. Especially a 7.3 one. They bring a good amount of money, even with tons of miles...

Very nice! Everyone loves an OBS. I used to have an 03 Cobra, it was a fun car, I don't know if it even had 5k on it when I sold it.

My '85 F350 had a bench seat and vinyl upholstery. Driving home after a night at the tavern when the temps dipped to -25F was like having Jon Bonham or Neil Peart playing a solo on your hinder. :-) The good news was, there was zero risk that you were going to fall asleep. :-)

Thanks! Here are some more pics of that garage. The stripe goes all the way around, it turned out great, but was a decent amount of work 😊[IMG][/IMG]

Fantastic, and a good life lesson. Anything that's meaningful is a decent amount of work.

I'm assuming the fridge is for chilling various materials used to cool one's intake, no?

Those old bench seats sure were comfy though.... lol

That f*ckin' seat was like a trampoline. Soft and really bouncy with no damping. The truck already rode so stiff that if you ran over a dime you could tell if it was heads or tails. And with that bouncy seat you bounced 3 or 4 times after every bump. It was crazy. I hit my head on the roof dozens of times.
