Cudal82 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hello all, I needed a truck for work and I prefer the old technology, so I picked up a 1982 F-250 Explorer about a month ago. I found it on Craigslist and for a Michigan car, this truck is unbelievably clean. My first car was a 1985 F-150 inline six, so this new truck feels like an old friend. I've been driving old Subarus for years so I am pretty rusty when it comes to Fords and real trucks. I am very glad that I found this forum, and although I am not great with computers, it seemed like it would be really good to join. I am glad to be a part of this group. I am located outside of Pontiac, MI in what was once called Disco, MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are on the map, but check to see that I got it right. Google Maps wasn't quite sure about Disco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
