Actually, the truck badly needed fresh paint, so instead of the normal, boring 2 tone or solid color, I took the more adventurous route.
LOL That should be this threads slogan.

letting my little 14 year old sister drive it.....
when i was trying for my liscense we set up a cone and then for the other side..it was attached to a trailer full of fire wood.
so she got in fine and all but when she tried to get out she thought it was in drive but no it was inreverse..she slammed the gas and flew back moving my dads f250 and the trailer forwards a good 6 inches
needless to say she isnt driving it anymore

I was putting my valve cover back on and the manual said to tighten the bolts to 55in-lbs but I read it as 55ft-lbs. I ended up snaping the head off of one of the bolts. I tried to use one of the bolt extractors but that broke also. Still can't get it out so my valve cover is being held one by one less bolt.

Thank you, sir!
Total cost in paint was less than $20, and I've decided to stick with NO clear coat. That way I can hop out of my truck and rattle can the scratches I manage to put into the paint, and the repair will cost less than $2.75 and will take 15 min including drying time.
A gentleman with a shark looking truck helped me decide it, I'm not sure what his name is. I'm bad with names. :/
