Re: What Ya Driving
I had a 93 Chevy van, the engine blew so I junked it.
I was going to buy a newer van but the wife talks me into paying down on the house to lower the payments instead. So I have an 89 Ranger with a contractor cap on the back that I decide to use for work, I overload it with paint and not only snap the rusty leafspring shackles but also the leafspring on one side. I sell it on cragslist for $300. I go look at decent used vans, and the tranny goes out on my wifes Pontiac Montanna, $2000 to get it fixed, then the gauge cluster goes out, then the ignition sensor and head gasket need fixed, $1000 more into the Pontiac. I end up buying a 1977 Ford Econoline because basically it is all I can afford right now. It runs like a champ but is rusty and ugly. I need to get some more work lined up so I can buy another truck, this thing is almost as old as I am. Hopefully I will be able to get something newer soon, I dont mind driving the old van but it doesnt look too professional. I atleast need to get something nicer to drive around in when I am giving quotes, then surprise them with the old beast when the job starts. I guess as long as the wife and kids have something decent to ride around in then I am fine, a little embarassed, but fine. |

Re: What Ya Driving
Just bought a 2006 Charger for the wife. Her Buick LeSabre is getting old. 12K miles on the Charger got a good deal from the place I got my truck from. I sent them 3 or 4 customers who purchased from them. They really like me over there. We'll pick it up on Monday. That's my truck in the background.

Re: What Ya Driving
00 Ford Cube Van
07 Econoline E250 05 Ford Ranger 4x4 05 Grand Cherokee LTD (Wife's) 04 Rubicon (Mine) And my 1968 Hemi Cuda which I bought new in 1972 from a dealer who couldnt sell it. Tried to sell it in 1976 during the first gas "shortage", and didnt get a single offer... so I kept it. I consider it my "retirement investment security blanket". Not for sale just yet. |
