My new 2003 F150 4x4




Three months ago in August 2014, I was able to buy my new f150. The thing is a gas hog, but I don't care..... I love it. It's forcing me to be creative about how I make my money. Hence my new blog, 
Www.talkwithmack.com. It will be political, and informative with how-tos and other stuff, like hunting, fishing, a purely male type, red-neck country blog. Yes it's sure to offend people, but frankly.... I don't care.....sorry. With everything happening about ISIS or ISIL and the attacks on Israel, I can't afford to toss aside my convictions and beliefs. Anyways, my truck is a 3valve per cylinder 5.4 liter V8 powered 4 wheel drive. Lariat package, so it's a luxury truck. I got satellite radio, navigation, Bluetooth to play my country music from my phone, and a DVD player, with head rests in the back of the seats. I have dual exhaust with an AIR raid system. 
To the left is one of the places I went when I experienced a misfire in the fifth cylinder withing a month and a half of getting the truck. 

This is a diagram I got from www.autozone.com that helped me find the misfire. A buddy of mine, Mike Morton suggested I change the ignition coil so I tried that, and lo and behold, it was fixed. The tune up will be expensive if I need to replace all eight of this things though. At $45 a piece, them things ain't cheap at all. If y'all are in the McKinney TX area, visit Mike Morton, he knows his stuff. The same can be said for Ray Parrish in Sacramento, Ca. 
Lucky for me, this bad boy came with the bumper. As you can see I got my cowboy hat and Rebel Flag bandana in there already with a Mossy Oak steering wheel cover. My 33" tires will get me anywhere on 17" rims chromed out. This Truck is Built Ford Tough for sure.

The Ultimate Cowboy Truck!!!



This beauty is amazing with it's towing capabilities!!! The horsepower this truck packs is amazing!!! Diesel is better under loads like the capability of this truck. Perfect for towing your show steer, or horse. I like the barbed-wire pin-striping on the sides and tail-gate. This has a crewcab too for the smelly nights of traveling with sweaty teens or babies.
 Going camping? Throw the dirt-bikes in the back, load up the 5th wheeler, and away you go!!!! See the Grand Canyon, and hit the trails. You can't live efficiently with out a truck. This truck helps you do just that in style.

2006 Chevy Silverado

This has the six cyl to save gas. The only downside is that lacks the horsepower for adequate towing. The crew cab is perfect for putting the dog or the kids in the back. The white color is the nice commercial color. Put a lumber rack on and you are good to go. I would like a 4 wheel drive low

2010 gmc sierra 1500

NICE! I LOVE this truck. It looks like the perfect truck to load up the dirt bikes and just party on the trails! The chrome is so shiny I need my shades just to look at it. 5.3 L vortec v8 327 making a ton of horse power.

'55 chevy taxi

I saw this driving around in the Bay Area today. It was a moment of nostalgia for me. This is the rare sight. This is 1 taxi I wouldn't mind driving in. Remind me of the movie American Graffiti. If you're ever in Oakland look up the number in the picture.



Fan pics

Thank you Mike Morton for submitting these pics






1990 to 1999 chevy 3500 slammed dually crewcab

This bad boy will tow anything with a 454 under the hood! It wont be done cheap though at $5 a gallon. Being lowered it will be easier to load things. On the flipside, will  the suspension need to be stiffened so the body doesn't get ruined under the load. Airbag it.



2012 Jag

Beautiful! Ever since my grandfather brought home his Jaguar XJR in 1996 I've dreamed of owning one. Since they are owned by Ford Motor Company, I guess you could say they are like really expensive Taurus SHO's. If I had $100,000 to spend on a car, I would definitely consider one of these. The acceleration throws you into the seat. The braking is almost "stop on a dime" quick. The roar and purr of this cat is unmistakable.

Acura NSX

This is the Honda super car.  This one is selling for $72,000 at Oakland Acura.  Beautiful lines and curves. The seats just wrap you beautifully.  The engine hums perfectly.  Everything is right where you need it. Definitely a driver's car.
The speedometer indicates 180mph but I'm thinking 200.









SATURN SKY

This is a similar car to the Pontiac solstice.  I wonder if they have the same transmission problems as the Saturn I had. Honestly my Saturn was nothing but a headache.  I replaced the transmission three months after buying the car. I wanted to get rid of it so bad that I paid $350 dollars.  Mine was a '99 sl2.

Cadillac sedans

Love the classic Cadillac sedan.  Family car for the wealthy.  Plenty of power coming out the Northstar v8. Engineering is outstanding!  I love them in black. It's got CEO written all over it.



Custom Cooper

This is a cute little mini Cooper I saw outside a local market in Hayward.  I love the colors on it. This is a good little fuel saving commuter.  The black wheels are nicely fit. I typically don't like mini's, however, this caught my attention.  Very spacious inside as well. Plenty of room for your system and stroller and groceries.

Nissan Leaf

Wow! Nissan is really trying hard to keep up with Toyota!  This little Leaf is sure to be the new Prius.  The rear lights are pretty stylish.  I'll do more research on it soon. This is the first one I've seen.

Fordtrucks F150

This bad boy comes with a 5.4 v8 and can haul anything you need to haul.  But the gas tank won't be as friendly on the wallet. Even with newer trucks mandated to get upto 20mpg, its still a pricey pick up. Well built though.





2010 Dodge Charger

This has "balla " written all over it. I'd definitely drive this bad boy!!!
