Automobiles

This is my Ford F150 Lightning. Very nice truck, drives like a dream, pass everybody except gas stations. That's what you get when you drive with a lead foot. Actually, only had two speeding tickets with it, not too bad considering what it does and I did.

Too bad that Ford never came out with the concept Lightning they showed in Detroit. That was a truck, wow. Everything pales in comparison. Now I have my eye on the Chrysler Firepower concept. That is one heck of a concept, 450 HP, a "detuned" Viper engine.

Now I am driving a Cadillac DTS, not a bad car either, except that you just don't go fast in it. Not that type of vehicle, even though the folks at Cadillac wants you to believe otherwise. It is not a good winter car, basically a one-wheel drive vehicle. Right front pulls and spins most of the time, especially in wet or snow conditions, I really would have expected from the designers to have equal lenght drive shafts. Mind you this is about my only complaint with it.
