that's wat i'm kinda hoping for. i'm curious how much that 81 f-150 will bring, and there was a 89 bronco sitting there too when i stopped. it was a little rough and idk if it even runs, looks like it's sat for a while and the windows have been rolled down for just as long. there are also a couple old toyota pickups sitting there. the 70's yota diesel, w/ a good looking body, but idk if it runs or not, then a twin set of 80's style 4x4's. one has a topper and looks like it's not too far away from being road worthy, but the other is waaay too far gone to do anything w/. the frame is so rusted that i'm surprised that it hasn't literally broken in two! i don't think it will bring more that 40 or 50 dollars... i used to have an 86 toyota pickup that i absolutely loved, but blew it up. i bought a mazda b2200 last year on an auction but it just wasn't the same, so i sold it and made some quick cash.

so wat all do you have ur eye on, Randy? there's an 80's style cutlass body mounted on a blazer 4x4 frame that i think u would look good in lol!

Howdy all,

I made it out of the Ford dealer without needing an "intervention". That Shelby sitting on the showroom floor sure was pretty...

Anyway, here is the new 'stang my folks bought. It's an '09 premium coupe with the pony option package. Pretty fun car to drive, even without the V8!

hey jerry,
how's the job hunt going? pretty bleak out this way. 2 of my neighbors just got laid off this week. hey go onto career builder.com and post your resume or make 1 on their site. and someone will get a hold of you. i did it and a guy from a place called ACT staffing sent me an e-mail with a bunch of jobs to sort through. hey man its worth a try.

It's got the 4.0 v6, I think it's rated at 210hp... not bad for 6 cyl! Yeah, car prices sure have gone up, definitely try and find someone with an X-Plan pin they can give you, it saved my folks a couple grand. They also have a $1500 rebate going right now, so all in all, the car was about $4K below sticker price.

This is mom's first brand new car since a 67 Galaxy... they've had a few cars since then, but none were brand new.
