How heavy is that car that you need 450 hp to make it feel good

Mine has only 150 turbocharged hps

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

About 5,700lbs(2585kg) The good thing is it can tow 4 tons though, and I loaded it recently front to back with maybe another 1600lbs of stuff, and made it about 444 miles on a tank, but I don't like going pass 1/8th a tank if I don't have too, so I stopped once during that time.

Hello!

I drive a 1991 Ford F-150 4x4 Extended Cab for my work and recreational needs. Rebuilt engine, transmission, transfer case and drive-shafts and bearings at 200K miles. Truck is UGLY, but everything works including the airconditioner. Sucks on gas but I dont care as it will pull a tank. Boat and camper trailer are no contest.

Also have a 2006 Saturn Ion. Love the thing. It has enough room for myself and the girlfriend, gets excellent mpg (33mpg highway/28 city) and hasn't given a bit of trouble in the three years Ive owned it. Shoulda seen the salesman's eyes bug out when I brought in a cashiers check to pay for it. He didnt beleive me when I said I would not need financing. LOL.

The GF has a Subaru Outback. She likes it but I dont fit in it. Just cant get comfortable any way I set the seat.

I have a Ford F-150 Supercrew FX-4.

I own a big four wheel drive for three reasons.

1. I am a snow plow operator, which means I am having to drive to work in during blizzards, often before the city crews have cleared the streets.

2. As a homeowner, I am doing a lot of remodeling and need the ability to haul materials.

3. Used to own a boat, and hope to acquire a camper eventually, so need something that can tow it.

Have you been able to find a bull bar or push bumper for your year truck? It seems from 04-08 it is really hard to find a decent front bumper, since did the major redesign on it. On the other hand they the steal bumpers/guards I am looking for for every thing from 99-03 and 09-up.

This is all I can find:

This is what I want though, or at least this style:

I haven't really looked, too busy spending money on my house to accessorize my truck yet. Once I can get around to it, I plan to buy the 2 inch leveling kit for the front, get my bed sprayed, and dual pipes.
