[SEL] What kind of truck? Gas or Diesel

[Judge Tommy Turner]

I've heard the same thing about the Fords.  I hate that as they're made 
about 45 miles from me and I've got about a dozen neighbors that work there 
(well, they have worked there I should say..... ) They're on a 4 week layoff 
right now and have been told it might be extended.   I passed their lot a 
couple of days ago and I bet there is 5000 new F 250's and F 350's sitting 
there.  If I could only go in and pick one out (for free) I'd put up with 
some mechanic work.

PS:  Talking about getting one for free, there is a guy who lives about 5 
miles from me and the RR track (L&N which is now CSX) goes through his 
property.  A new F 250, loaded on a rail car, fell off and rolled down an 
embankment and ended up in his hay field.  The authorities determined that 
the rail car had been sabotaged by vandals with a cutting torch.  Still 
don't see how the pickup came off but it did.  Ford and CSX signed an 
agreement with him that was a settlement of sorts.  In return for holding 
them harmless for the incident, he got the pickup.  It was banged up all 
over but would run.  He had a neighbor beat it out so the doors would shut, 
etc. and put some new glass in it.  He drove it for a few years around the 
farm, to the feed store etc.
