You may discuss our cover story of the day in this thread....
Test Drive:
2006 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition
2006 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson EditionMate the country's best-selling pickup with a legendary motorcycle name and you've got the Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition. It's an expensive package, says Assistant Editor Jil McIntosh, but you get a lot for it: "it's an impressive-looking boulevard cruiser", she says, "but those thick leather seats are disappointingly uncomfortable."     More...

Uncomfortable seats

Yes, but "it's an impressive-looking boulevard cruiser" That makes it all worth while, doesn't it? You might even be able to impress the neighbour with his Hummer 1.

"Perhaps the seats are heavenly if you get into them after vibrating for a few hours on a Harley, but I found them very disappointing."  Grin she gets some good quips in there. I'm sure they will sell a ton (more) around here to stock option rich, middle age, red necks.

"But a friend pointed out a possibility: plenty of people can scrape together bike money and not have enough left over for this particular Ford package, but if you can afford the truck, chances are good the bike's within reach. It's obvious the guy in the flea-market sunglasses doesn't own an Enzo, but people might think I have a Sportster at home in the garage."

12 mpg is worse than the 14 we get on a GMC Express 3500, fully loaded with equipment. Sheesh

What are two things that are "cool" right now that everyone wants but won't be able to get rid of in 5 years, Alex?
