Fort Walton Beach, Florida I'm a simple man, I like pretty, dark haired woman and breakfast food.

Well...as alot of you may already know, I sold the Valk.  It went to a fellow club members so it's in very very good hands.

Thing is, I was in need of a new(er) truck after driving a 20 year old Ford Expedition for the last 10 or 11 years or so....so I went truck shopping.

Bought myself a meticulously maintained, seriously in like brand spanking new condition, low mileage  2012 Ford F150 Platinum edition in Ingot Silver color.  This is a Cadillac truck if there ever was one...I'm stoked.

My computer is having some serious issues at the moment or otherwise I'd post a few pictures of it...but like I said, it looks like a brand new truck.

I'm in love with this truck.

Now I have to get rid of that 20 year old Expedition.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

We often hear about the Harley mystique. It seems they have nothing on Cadillac, when Ford owners describe their top-of-the line fancy truck not as a Lincoln, but as a Cadillac.  Cool

Grin I think you are right. I never think of Lincoln automobiles. If I do, it's that old song about driving a "Hotrod Lincoln"

The Lincoln trucks that they have come out with may run, ride and drive great, but they've slapped so much crap on them they're butt ugly.   Do they even still sell the Lincoln version of the F150?

I luuuve my Platinum edition.   cooldude

That link took me to a pic of an Escalade, but checking out other pics brought me to this cool Caddy (sorry, not a fancy new Ford):

yea the Lincoln Blackwood was a total garbage flop. Lincoln had another truck which basically was the same trim level as the platinum F150 with a Lincoln grill.
