I have a lot of friends who went to RRE. They've all been asking me to go - and til now I've felt out of place without a diesel...but that's changing.

Ohhh how I wish for no winters! But then you appreciate the spring/summer/fall less.
At least thats my perspective on it. I LOVEEEE Spring and Fall around us. Everything is either becoming green and lively or is changing colors and you can feel that crisp fall air.
Gosh I want to go to the apple orchard all of a sudden.

We don't shun those who don't drink our koolaid. I know many members who don't have a ford OBS or a diesel for that matter and still hang around and bullchit with us.
I mean if you want a sip of our koolaid you're more than welcome...warning tho your wallet will hate you.

It's a me thing, Alex. Nothing toward anyone with a diesel. I will be owning one soon enough.

That's funny! The truck looks great too!!
When I sold my BMW this spring I was forced to add a disclaimer due to all the spam, scams, and kids tryin to negotiate over the phone or usually via email:

DISCLAIMER: If your under 30 and have no idea how to negotiate because you spent too much time in front of the Xbox/Wii/PS 1-2-3 (or electronic gadget of your choice) and lack the skills that are developed through interpersonal relationships than be sure to find an elder and practice prior to calling..
If your a scammer and feel the need to constantly ask me if my "item" is still for sale, be prepared to suffer the consequences.
For those of you who are too young to know what OBRO, BRO, OBO really means or for those of you who never read Uncle Henrys or any other "paper" classified; "Or best Reasonable Offer, Best reasonable offer, Or best offer.... These acronyms are all referring to an offer based on seeing, driving, inspecting, and comparing the said item to other items of the same caliber; following aforementioned exercises one would make a fair and reasonable offer which could be accepted or countered and thus negotiations begin..
Generally in normal non "fire sale" or "desperate sale" best offer would mean:
$3000-6000 ($500 leeway in asking price, possibly more if a valid concern or point can be made apparent), $6001-10000 at the upper end of this one someone may be inclined to move $1500 if a good point can be made, 10001-20000 up to possibly $2000-and 2500 being the largest amount discounted again for valid arguments or concerns about said item...
For those of you who know why I've written this than, Isn't it about time?
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about.......Never mind....

I am speechless and thoroughly stoked on that ad!! About time. I have put up similar stuff and, oddly enough, sold stuff quicker!

Ahhh, the stuff I grew up on. My cousins used to take us to the truck and tractor pulls out in Pittsburgh when we were little. I blame them for my "gotta build a truck" addictions...lol.

Oh yeah! Our county fair is coming up the first weekend in September and the whole OSTPA crew will be there. Tractors, trucks, semis, the whole lot. They start pulling at 7:00 and usually aren't done until after midnight. I think they pulled 5 different classes last year.

I would love to get into pulling again. They don't do a lot of it locally though, which is a bit of a drawback...would have to drive a bit.
