Vegas Vacation

[Ozwynn]

Went to Vegas for 5 days, rented a Mustang, lost $500 on black jack.... won $5000 on Texas Hold'em. Saw the Mafia museum and the rode the rides at the Stratosphere and the coaster at Newyork Newyork twice and took the Grand Canyon tours tour of the Hoover dam (which was a bust).....

The strip has changed so much since the last time I was there I don't think I like it anymore..... it used to be down and dirty and now its ....... I don't know .. just not the same....

got home and found that my daughter stole my whole $2 bill collection (all 1976 series) and 7 of my gold dollar coins....... can not find the key to my pick up or my big rig....


oh yeah ..... and my wife talked me into buying a time share ........

I usually do well with Texas Hold 'em too...but I've never actually put any money on it at a table...I was up to $125,000 on my cell phone game...but then I accidentally wiped it out and had to start over...I think they cheat...but I haven't caught them yet...

found the keys to my pick up and big rig .......

I would like to say that the 5 grand is going to a new mustang ........ but sadly I need it to cover the down payment for the time share ...... but now I get 2 weeks in Vegas every year and I can choose to stay in one of hotels the timeshare owns on the strip instead of the resort...........


still going to buy a '12 mustang ........ I put 400 miles on it ..... used 13 gallons of gas.....

I might have to get me one of those too.

My choices were a 12 Camaro, a '12 Challenger, or a '12 Mustang.......

the Mustang is bad ass for a V6..... plus.... we drove out to Kingman to scout property and I drove it down roads I am sure my Dually would have gotten stuck on........ gotta love the traction control.......


whats the button on the side of the gearshift under the button to release the shifter? Lights up a litle car decending a hill icon under the speedo......... could not figure out what it does ...........

Hill descent option...I just saw it advertised on a Ford truck...some cars had what they called "grade retard" but it was essentially a down shift from what I recall...

thats what I thought but it did not seem to make a difference ......

still going to buy one though....... maybe even a manual unless the '13 has an auto stick option in the V6.....

It's the hill descent. You won't notice a lot of effect on a level surface going below a certain speed, but on some of the bigger hills that we have here where the Appalachians run through the area you notice the difference.

I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't notice the effect on dirt roads in Nevada.
