    That is why I put the V&H Monster Ovals on, big radius more volume and just a little bit more noise than stock. Can hear the music just fine. :)

    This truck has heated and cooled seats. But I am more interested in the heated part when it is warm enough to use the cooled part I will be on the bike.Tomorrow morning it is supposed to be -14 deg.

    I put the V&H montser ovals on my '08 and they are pretty quiet. But they will make some sound if you get on the throttle.

    My wife and I talk about it. But it will have to wait another 10 years for retirement. Also the gradkids are up here and my wife would not consider moving away from them until they are older.

    Picked up a 2010 Ford F150.New one was cheaper than a used one with all of the incentives from Ford. I think they wanted to get all of 2010's off the lots.

    Gas prices aren't here yet we are still at $3.09 per gallon but it is coming. That is why I got rid of my F250 with the V10 engine Iwas getting around 11-12 mpg. Salesman wa telling me about the new F150 it is rumored to get 30mpg, but I can buy a lot of gas for 10 grand even if it is $5.00 per gallon.

    Way to Go CB, that is very nice, that is the color I would want. Makes me want one even more, you are one lucky guy. I'd be happy with a Classic. :D
