Gsmblue Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Sooooo… I used to play poker with a few guys up till the pandemic. The host had a nice Bullnose, F250 extended cab I think . I used to tease him, “if you ever want to sell it, let me know.” I got a text. Picking up the title tomorrow for $500. Will get the truck during the week when I can get a ride out to it as it is a few miles out of town. All I remember is the truck is brown/bronze and was a work truck/daily driver. This is all very exciting! My wife is NOT excited…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 You're going to have the longest signature ever! Though Angelo has you beat by a mile on the sheer number of vehicles listed. Your wife should be excited about a 'new' truck. Guess it depends on how deep you decide to go with this one. I'm interested to see what name you come up with for this one. Anyway, I'm following...

Gary Lewis Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Congratulations! For $500 you cannot go wrong if you can drive it home. And a daily driver is ideal as they can't have anything major wrong with them. However, there are likely to be lots of little things you can do that will be easy but satisfying. As for your wife, get it cleaned up and take her for a ride, stopping at her favorite refreshment stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 For $500 I would have bought it too, and my wife also wouldn't be impressed lol. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsmblue Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 i read this thread to my wife. she laughed as well. she knows this one all too well! The wife is in good spirits this morning, already laughing and telling me to work out where to park it. Need to work a few details out but will certainly update here. No discussions on names until the truck is here, that is the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how many gas/petrol stations are between you and it? May cost you more to get it home than you paid since that 460 won't pass any of them w/o stopping to fill up.
