Anyone Else?

Just curious, but has anyone else had total strangers walk up to and ask you if you wanted to sell your 7.3? It happened to me twice in the past week.

Last night I had a young man walk up to me in a parking lot asking what I've done to it and say he's looking for one. He asked about what diesel forum I hang out on (if any) and so on and so on... he was in the market, but once I spoke of it like I was genetically attached, he couldn't muster the guts to ask to buy it...

"Genetically attached". That pretty-well describes it, doesn't it?

Yep, I live in the rust-belt and weather has not been good until this weekend. I just spent most of today washing, waxing, polishing, listening, cruising...I'm getting ready for a tow to AZ in May. Just getting ready. Only thing I need is the ATS housing. Hopefully this week.

well I would sell, but it would have be enough money to buy a new 08, but then again I would save money on my new to me 7.3, I would end up buying. I love my truck and that is that. getting new shoes in the next month, Yippee

That has really never happened to me but I have had plenty of people marvel at how old the truck is once I tell them what year it is after asking.

I got offered 18k for mine a few months after I had just bought it (2+ years ago). To this day, I still dont think I would sell it for that even though I would have made some money. They are just getting harder and harder to replace. I am gonna drive this mule until she dies.
