I sent this email to a buddy of mine today and he thought it was
funny.
Read at your own risk.
My 1987 Ford F150 is currently old enough to vote. This coming
February she will be old enough to buy a drink.
I figure on keeping her until she is old enough to run for President
and, if the selection of candidates at that time is anything like what
it has been, she will have a decent chance.
You may wonder at my assigning the female gender to this vehicle; but
I submit to you anything that does what it is supposed to do
whenever the hell it feels like it, costs more than it should to keep
it alive and yet you cant bring yourself to put a bullet into it, and
has been your constant companion through storm and strife, seen the
raising of your children, been through business successes and failures
without complaint, doesnt quite look as good as the day you bought it
but thats OK, accommodates your big fat ass without comment, and will
still drive you to the hardware store on a Sunday morning must, of
necessity, be female.
I look forward to her being the first woman truck candidate for
President.
And I will vote for her.
Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
Regards, Tom.

Hello Robatoy,
I have a 2003 with the 5 cylinder diesel engine. It was the longest
model they sold at that time- 158 inch wheelbase, 3500 chasis, dually
rear wheels. I get between 23 and 25 MPG and it is the most
comfortable vehicle that I drive or have ever owned.
I bought it as a windsurfing/camping vehicle but it makes a great
lumber and tool hauler too with 14 feet of almost uniterupted space, 6
foot high. I've seen two vans fitted with a bench top table saws and
radial arm saws. They look like they could be a nice shop on wheels
(slightly cramped, of couse.)

I have been eyeing those Sprinters, Marc. Which engine do you have?
Mileage?

I think you definitely have the gender correct for
"If it has tits or tires, it's bound to give one trouble."

You know, Lew, I have that same problem.
For years I thought the song went:
"You picked a hard time to leave me, Lucille
Four hundred kids and a crop in the field..."
My wife finally told me that the word was, "hungry".
It made more sense to me, then.
Regards, Tom.
