So in N.C. Visiting the youngest kid. Yesterday evening just west of Winston Salem a new black GT3 merged into the expressway and blasted past us. I would have got pic but I was busy doing the Homer Simpson donut drool. Those are SAWEET cars!

I paid a markup and I feel like a dirty street man.

You paid over sticker for the Matchbox?

[Dr_Strangelove]

Do you want to know something? YES


That one is my son's. When I realized it was a Ranger I found a minty one with a hood that will close for my work desk on Ebay for $11 shipped.

Very nice! But were they out of red ones?

What's a cassette?

That's very nice. I have wanted one for a few years now. They are still not in my price range. Very nice.

Thank you boys! They were out of all the colors... I did not realize when I started this adventure what a mess I had gotten myself into by waiting for so long until my back was against a wall. (A4 on its last legs overheating and I had lost interest in putting more thousands into it or working on it myself every other weekend.) I started looking at new trucks because used ones were marked up so much only to find out that new trucks basically don't exist. I happened to bumble into this one on delivery day and the guy that ordered it was the first person to be insulted by their markup and walk away. I think a few people walking away softened them up in fact because by the time I scoffed at their $7500 markup I was able to negotiate to a $3500 "mixed value" markup in the form of an aftermarket warranty (Ford) plus cash.

And before I got myself into this mess my son said "you can pick any truck that is blue, dad." Sometimes all you need is luck, my son.

I miss owning a 4x4 pickup - but Mrs. Schnell has forbidden me from owning one.

Apparently, when you're a part-Mormon family, every weekend involves moving people if you own a pickup.

I can't decide which one of my friends is the funniest - I've gotten offers to help move shelving and pianos
