Hadn't heard/seen this until I ran across this article at the N&O. Pretty sweet truck, but it's probably not worth the money.

and honestly, who would ride around in a carolina blue truck. I'd kill myself before I did that.

^ yeah I am surprised they are making a Carolina F-150 instead of a Mazada Miata.

2/14/2006 12:55:26 PM

have you seen the VT ford explorer?

its got an aweful color scheme.

and the horn plays the fight song.

2/14/2006 12:56:25 PM

^^^wow.. I didn't catch that the first time I read it.


NandO strikes again!

I'm also surprised it doesn't say anything about NC State having a themed tractor

2/14/2006 1:02:52 PM

2/14/2006 1:05:16 PM

i agree, trucks should be black, red, or silver. thats it

2/14/2006 2:15:52 PM

My 2005 Chevy Colorado is black. I drove a black Toyota Corolla before that. I don't think I'll ever drive a car/truck that isn't. I just think they look sharper and more professional.

2/14/2006 2:19:57 PM

the only thing is they're a tremendous pain in the ass to keep clean. my firebird is always dirty looking

2/14/2006 2:26:15 PM

I wash mine about once a week. I live at the beach, so if I want to keep my truck clean I almost always have to park it in the garage to keep it from getting dirty.

my 150 is graphite grey, i guess thats silver, and i have my NCSU alum sticker on it...thats about as NC State as i want the thing to get

2/14/2006 2:39:29 PM

I have an alumni assoc. sticker and wolfpack club sticker on the back glass, and an NC State tag on the front. My fiancee's brother made decals for me (he works in a graphics shop), but I haven't decided if I want to put them on or not. One is made for the back glass, and two other smaller ones are made for the sides of the truck. I thought about putting them where the Z71 logo would have gone.

ahahahah.

You know some jig in New Jersey wanted dat 'Lina Shurt.

2/14/2006 4:06:47 PM

I wouldn't buy it...

2/14/2006 4:45:34 PM

If I had the bank I would SO own one.

2/14/2006 4:47:54 PM

i would own one just to take it to games. imagine driving up into the VaTech parking lot, and the Hokie fans going "damn, that guy is hardcore," and they'd come over and want to look at it. great conversation starter, and you'd definitely get noticed.

2/14/2006 5:06:33 PM

I'd totally buy one too if I had the bread... and I don't even want a Ford.

I'm guessing thats a homophobic joke, but...

where i used to live in Florida, vespas were what yuppies drove. so in that way, yeah, CH is good for vespas.

2/14/2006 5:43:47 PM

and also fags, so in that way.. too

2/14/2006 6:43:36 PM

yeah I would definitely rather shoot myself in the face that drive a Carolina blue F-150!! I can't even look at Carolina blue and not get pissed off!!

2/14/2006 7:09:23 PM

^ haha for real playa

2/14/2006 7:11:07 PM

lol... thanks... I try

2/14/2006 7:23:02 PM

not a homophobic statement.

A UNC student/graduate driving a Vespa is a reference to the yuppiness and to the emasculating effects of that particular hue of blue.
