I'm Fordless!

For the first time since I started to drive I do not own a Ford product. I ended up selling my '05 King Ranch out of the blue today. I put it up for sale this week on whim because I don't drive it enought. A guy called me this morning and said he wanted to come and look at it. An hour later he handed me a ton of cash, I gave him the title, and he drove off. It still has sunken in yet. I guess I'll just be driving my '02 GMC 2500HD farm truck for a while. Atleast my company truck is a E350 14' box truck and I get to work on Fords all day! Hopefully you guys will allow me to still creep around here!

take that ton of cash and use it for a good start on a new one!! I have seriously been thinking about selling my truck and going back to my jeep days,but I like the truck too much to sell it,and can't really justify three vehicles with only one driver.

That's my problem. I had three personal vehicles and a company truck. Just too many for one person to drive. I'm going to sit on this cash for a while and see what I want to do with it. I really want to do a down payment on a house, but I'm not sure I'm 100% ready for that yet.

$26,500. Not too bad. It was stock expect for a 4" MBRP dual exhaust. Had 65K on the clock. I paid a bit more for it a year or so ago, but the economy is killing prices on "luxury" trucks around here. I went to the bank today and deposited $28,673 in cash and $4340 in checks. The lady at the bank looked at me like I had three heads. She had to think I'm running drugs or something. All in $100s.

I wish the guy used a bank check or something, but I wasn't going to turn him down lol.
