All of the cars I've owned over the years has been because of him saying to me trust me - you will love this one and he's been right every time.....
The other day when we were out on our adventure of trying to find this famous pork shop here in Muscat - (Man was that worth it!) and as we were near the car showrooms he says oh I have to show you this car and he promptly pulls into the Ford Showroom - I refused to get outta the car - he KNOWS I hate Fords - cant stand 'em sorry. And on top of that I was sitting in a Ford - the company car we have is a Ford Double Cab something or other (dont know dont care) the car SUCKS and I want to kick it in the teeth every day.... (but hey it gets me from A to B and back again and it's free - so shouldn't complain too much!) (thank goodness the car cant read.... erm it cant can it??) :)
So anyway there I was refusing to climb out telling my husband he's got it wrong this time I aint interested in Ford... no way no how... until of course he pointed out that there was a toilet inside I could use... so I had to go... :)
He showed me the Ford F150 - it's Badass and I WANT ONE...
Man that is one badass car - it's huge.... Hubby - who is fairly large - can fit VERY comfortably in the back seat - it's great. I could just picture myself driving this around Muscat. (might have to get other people to park it for me tho'!)
LOVE IT...
One small problem tho' did you know Expats (as we are called here) are apparently NOT allowed to own Bakkies here in Oman! In my world - that's weird... and it saddens me....
I can just picture my Badass self in this Badass car...
O
No Need to cry! The rule about pickups is usually only enforced if you are Indian or Pakistani, or if the pickup is an old Toyota like the fishermen drive. I had an F150 as a company car here, and it was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThey loose like 40-50% of their showroom value within the first year, so see if you can find a good second hand one. you might want to drive a GMC pickup as well before you make up your mind. The GMC service department here has been pretty good to me in the past, whereas Ford service pretty appalling.
Suburban - thanks for taking the time out to pop in.. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all the info - thats great news, and good to know about the resale value... gonna go look at GMC asap! :)

ReplyDelete..didn't know about not allowed "Bakkies" for expats.. as I'm one and I've one. :)

Suburban is right - you can own one with a touch of wasta, especially if you buy it and not hubby!
ReplyDeleteAnd Ford service really is atrocious. Even against some tough competition...
