Same here. I've always favored "old man" cars. Crown Vic, Town Car, 88, etc. I think I'm going for a Chrysler 300 next.

Sounds more like you're a victim of circumstances rather than actually liking to drive a worn out truck.

Not at all. The truck came from California when I got it 4 years ago and was in mint condition when I got it, and still is. It gets decent mileage for a truck and I can't bear to get rid of it now because it doesn't owe me a dime.

Although I must admit I'm going to be looking for a new pickup pretty soon.

I did that a few years back... traded in my (perfectly good) '92 pickup with 313,000 miles on it for a new one. I'll get trashed for saying so, I'm sure, but they're both Fords.

It's a Chevy the miles don't count. But 150K, hey the air works and she runs like new.

Translation: The tranny's shot. You need to drive it in order to turn the odometer once in a while.

I don't think so I have 212K on it now. not bad for $600 and the tranny is smooth as a new born baby's bottom.
 
Well, regardless of whether "Full Service" fits the contractor or not, "Full" Service Contractor looks better on a truck than "Half" or "Third" Service Contractor and it's alot better than "No" Service Contractor.

So, rather than hitting the "New Posts" button every so often tonight I think I'm just going to keep hitting refresh on this page and assume that everything will just come up here:grin:

Never owned a ford, had a dodge once, My wife doesn't like my attitude about cars not made by GM, but then I haven't heard her complain about her car being in the shop since it never is. I have a friend who thinks i am too brand loyal, it is only because I have loved every GM car I have owned, they have been good to me so there I am.
