We got a Ford F-150 4x4 with the super crew cab. There were only a few left in the area since the 2011s came out a month or so ago, so we got a pretty good deal. According to USAA and truecar.com, we only paid a about $700 over invoice. I wanted Duke blue, but there weren't any in the version we wanted, and the wife wanted black, so we got black. Anyway, it's a pretty sweet ride, IMHO. Wanting a good deal, and being engineers (not wanting to be guinea pigs for Ford's "new engines" that they put in their entire fleet...generally it's a good idea to wait 'til Mach 3 (okay grammar police, is it mach 3 or mock 3 in this case?) so they get all the bugs worked out), we decided to go with the 2010 instead of the 2011.
Nicelookin'! Hope you enjoy it.
Mr. DA got a fullsize/crew-cab Chevy Silverado in 2007. No one in my family had ever owned a pickup, so I wasn't familiar with all the benefits. It's now my favorite vehicle in the household - it's so useful!!

Of course. But the anti-Fight Club has a handful of rules.
The first rule is that you never watch Fight Club.

Cathy's got a cure for that, from Max Crowder. ;)
Yes, I do! And it works, too!

Just finished watching ladies' free skate (US Figure Skating Championships). I really wanted Rachael Flatt to repeat, but Alissa Czisny was spectacular and got a well-deserved victory. On to worlds for Alissa and Rachael!

You can't be in the anti-Fight Club unless you at least know what Fight Club is...and if you watched it you would probably not be anti-FC...you just can't tell anybody.
