Why my Ford sucks.

How is it the "most popular mid size truck F-150" is a piece of shit. I realize I usually write about my adventures in the aviation community, but for this I had to stray. My 2005 F-150 has 80k on it and has been in the shop at a unnamed Denver area Ford dealer for going on two weeks. Apparently my truck has some sort of illness that it took highly certified technicians a week to figure out. Now I'm stuck with a 5k bill to fix a truck with 80k miles on it. This problem (known by Ford since 2006) is so severe there recommendation is to change the short block. I started writing this a few days ago and didn't get to finish until now, my truck is back after $5,100 worth of work. I can't keep writing about this because it is pissing me off to no end. I'll leave you with this, as a former loyal Ford owner I will never by another Ford as long as I live.

Why

As I plow through another unimpressive, overpriced hot dog, greasy fries and diet something at another random airport, I'm left to wonder why. Why is airport food so shitty and overpriced? I say this, not meaning all, just mostly. Is it because we're a captive audience? Is it because they will probably never see us again? Or is it because they can get away with it, knowing you would rather forget about the experience than say something?

All of these have crossed my mind at one time or another and I have always come to the same conclusion. I am a airport captive, they probably won't see me again, and I sure as hell would rather forget the experience than relive it with some uninterested community college hopeful who could give two shits about my complaint.

That said, I do travel a lot and if I complained about every shitty, overpriced airport eatery I would probably lose my mind. I realize I'm just another disgruntled air traveler but damn. Quit screwing people with over inflated prices and shitty food and serve something descent at a reasonable price. Your reputation is on the line whether you give a shit or not.

For the one person who may stumble across this blog while looking for something worthwhile, I must make a disclaimer. My spelling is questionable and punctuation is usually non-existent or inappropriately placed, but who really gives a shit if you understand what I'm saying?

A big fan

Whoever invented the spandex pants chics wear now-a-days, I just wanted to say, "I love you."

Thanks.

P.S. Please stop making them in 3XL.

Front seat

Another flight in a bulkhead seat. Why are the seats behind the bulkhead so damn close? If I were four feet tall (no offense to our shorter friends) I would still be uncomfortable. The joy of commercial travel.

Corporate Douchebags

On a plane sitting next to a guy I'll call JB. This ass wipe is talking about how "the company" is going to make 3 mil on a upcoming sale and how he's not sure if he's going to roll in the 38 or not (whatever the fuck that means).
