GregsSD is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
My first vehicle was a blue 78 F-100 back in 1980 and now I have come full circle back to a 2005 Ford F-250 after some toyotas, chevys, and GMCs and It is by far the best truck I have ever owned!!!

My question is, how the he!! are all the young guys (younger than me) on here affording trucks fancier and newer than anything I've ever owned??!?
well i am 28 (older than you i know) i have had a full time job since i was thirteen. a lot of hard work and taking every promotion you can get (even if you have to go to a bad shift for a while) is the way to go. that is how i have always afforded my toys. i have a 01 ps diesel 4x4, 07 pontiac g5, 02 cherokee 29 ft camper, 02 polaris sportsman 700, ranch house with 7 acres and 4 horses. I think i am doing pretty good for myself and I didn't come from a rich family. work for what you get and you will respect it a lot more.
