Saw this the other day. Not sure if you can see it, but at the bottom of the rear window it says, "Sorry Officer. My gas pedal got stuck."

I've also got to make sure the tires don't go flat on the Bronco. Otherwise its a new hood!

I've got wheel chocks behind the front wheels. It's in 4wd so teh front wheels are engaged, they won't roll, plus those race ramps under the rear wheels have a convex shape to them. It won't roll.

Not really. Even if its all city I would think it should be 14 or so. You should get way better on the highway. Have you checked your mileage on your trips home. You know filling up, then checking the odometer mileage, then when you stop to fill up again, check the gallons you put in against the miles you actually drove. You should get about 17 or so on the highway if you're doing the speed limit.

You may need a tune up or something.

That's not good enough. It should be better Edson. I know mileage can go down on a vehicle with age, but that's not what I have gotten in teh past out of 3/4 ton trucks I've had with the same engine from roughly the same model years. I would think 16 would be rock bottom for highway mileage.



Do you fill up at Buc-ee's!

All my kids have t-shirts from there.

Interesting. So the 5.4 is simply a stroked 4.6 (3.55" bore x 3.54"). Never knew that.

It's part of a theme on the Bugless Beast ROM. I may be able to extract them somehow. Not sure.

Also, my bottom row is locked so no matter what screen you are on, those stay the same. That is Helix Launcher and I think will run on yours if you want that. It also gives you up to 7 home screens.

This is version 1. Don't use version 2. It's 3D and VERY slow.

Pics are on micro SD card. Just plug in the phone or take out the card (pain in the butt) and copy onto the computer. Photobucket app is nice also.
