I HATE FAST AND LOUD. that show has made people think that just because their crap is rusty that it makes it worth more. good lord am i drinking crazy juice?

love how he states he prefers phone calls over emails. I'm guessing he will be sitting by that phone for a while.

I think it's "I prefers emails, instead of answering questions over the phone". His lack of punctuation and word usage makes reading that one hard. I don't know why, I prefer to call and talk to people. You get a good sense of who you are buying from before you make the trip out there to see it.

Fast and loud, I don't even watch shows like that anymore. Fake "reality tv" just grinds my gears.

Try looking for an early Bronco. The prices on those have sky rocketed in the last couple of years. Been looking for one for awhile now but it seems 5k around here gets you a crusty roller that needs just about everything replaced.

Rule #1: if you're spending close to six digits, it better include the word "acres" or the word "bedrooms".

90K is a bit high, but you also have that supercharger. Anyone know where the veliciraptor prices out at? I'd say 20k under it

After reading this post, I feel really good about my '90 F-250 XLT Lariat. I saw it driving down the street just after finding out my 2007 PS SD needed $7000. to fix the POS 6litre.
Second owner truck bought new in Palm Springs. I paid $3500, thought maybe it was a little high. No rust, good running 460 w/4sp. Auto, interior like new, all chrome nice and 124,000 mi.
I need to replace the side trim, but that is next project.

Agreed, 100k can buy a nice chunk of land, even without the house.
But if we're talking vehicles, the words "Rolls-Royce". accompanied by 250k$ I saw one in a showroom in Munich, It's one beast of a car!

Google "Build a Bronco". You'll be pleasantly surprised.

I'm not the only Linux user apparently!

Back on topic, this is how to not take a picture of your truck (Especially a 2x4 one!) :
