My husband drives a Ford F250 pick up truck. He bought it in January 2001, so it is six years old. It has less than 50,000 miles on it because he uses it mostly around the farm.
[There is supposed to be a picture of his truck here, but Blogger seems to be having issues this morning.]
Last summer, a hay bale, one of those large round rolls, fell off a wagon into the side of his truck. So we had to get that fixed.
Then just before Christmas, he hit a deer and messed up the front end.
He took the truck in to have that repaired last week. He brought the truck home and discovered that during the repair, the mechanics messed up the fender on the other side of the truck while trying to put the bumper back on.
So this morning he dropped his truck off on the way home from the fire station and I met him there. It meant I had to get up early, exercise, dress, etc., all before 8 a.m.
I am so not a morning person.
Anyway, this truck is like my husband's second skin, and I fear that since this one has now been officially "wrecked" twice, he is going to want another. A new truck to replace his would cost about $35,000.
We only paid $55,000 for this house.
That's how much we paid for our house too. Those were the days! I hate shopping for new vehicles so I keep what I have long past the time I should have let it go.
ReplyDeleteMen and their trucks...I have nothing nice to say so I won't say anything at all. A farm is a decent reason to have a good truck though. Best wishes to you.
