Ex falls into my lap
So there I was, test driving a 2000 F250 that I saw sitting next to the road near my house, 20 inch rims, bald 35 inch tires, a crappy exhaust with a huge leak, and just in a general state of disrepair. The minute I drove off in it, I knew I didnt want it. Needed to much work, extended cab didnt provide enough room for the family and the dog. So I drove it back to the house and drove it up into the driveway by the barn......and there it was
2000 Expedition Limited, V10, 4x4, lifted, 17 inch Dick Cepeks, 35 inch tires, 142,000 miles, with a 50,000 mile V10 having just been put into it. everything works in it but the cruise control, but the whole thing was stuffed to the gills with hay of all things.
Asking price was $5500, after laughing about the hay, I walked away with it for $4800.
I love it and so do the kids!

She couldn't stand to see the rust on the hitch
I accidentally handed her a can of silver paint! She really liked the way it looked, and I just didnt have the heart to have her repaint it after all that hard work!

What the hay?!? What idiot Thought the EX was for hauling that? That's what pickups are for!

I was just posting these so maybe there was an issue while uploading?
Thanks for the "welcomes"!
Apparently they were pulling a full trailer of hay and a bunch of bundles broke away and fell on the highway. They quickly threw down all the seats and cleaned up the mess by stuffing the Ex full to the roof and the back of the front seats. The stuff was everywhere!
Good on them for cleaning their mess of the highway, but I have no idea how Im going to get rid of this livestock smell in the interior!!
