My place is more like a townhouse than a condo, garage is a 2 car attached, below the rest of the house, wouldn't have it any other way. No one above or below me, only to the sides.

Those look great Scott, painted or powder coated? I forgot which you did.
Hit a Deer this morning on the rebound. I saw it standing in the road about 1/4 mile away but the on coming lane car just kept coming and didn't even slow down. The Deer (about 80lb Doe) could have jumped into a Snow bank or towards the car. Well it jumped on the car and got rolled several times and then decided to slid under my front wheels. No damage to the Raptor.
Had a blast driving in the deep snow. Still snowing too.
Tom who?????

Nah I turned around and found it and it was pretty much in a heap and dead, no suffering. The other car never stopped.
I think Deer are beautiful animals and I could never go hunting for them, I'm not anti hunting, I just couldn't purposly kill one unless my family was really hundry and needed it.
I love to watch them in the open fields around here and I'm surprize I've never hit one before now.

Now we see that Ford trucks really are Built Ford Tough, a deer hit for a car would destroy the front end, but the trucks can take it with no damage. I had a Ranger that I hit a small deer with, all it did was crack the plastic grille insert, replaced with a billet grille and I was good to go. I was going to do that upgrade anyway, the deer just gave me an excuse to do it.

Yes Ford trucks are built to last and are tough. One day my wife hit black ice in our 2006 F150 and slide off the road and halfway into a lil ditch and the front crossmember was digging iin the edge of the pavement. Nothing even bent on that suspension all it did was catch grass and pavement that I had to remove later that day.

Hey *****...and yes I said *****!! You can't talk anymore than me and it won't have any less meaning than my posts. But you started the Midwest Forums and now you don't even rate a WANT-TA-BE around here now.
