I got the bug now

Two weeks ago I got my 52 f-3 on a barter deal and have been having a ball with it. But now I just made another barter deal for a 51 international fire truck that my wife has been wanting for years. Early birthday and Christmas for her. lol. Now I need to really sell my house and buy farm to put all these vehicles. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of many years of fun.

"Know when to say when." After about 30-40 of them, you may want to consider that statement.

A long time Chevy guy, I've never owned a Ford in life. A month ago I bought my 56...then barely 2 weeks later I dragged home a 55!

(Still have my Chevys) lol

Glad to have you in the old iron accumulators group. Just be careful on how big a farm you buy, as the collections usually grow to fill the available space.

Funny you should say that 3414. I bought my house a year and a half ago and back then I had only one truck, two trailers and one car, Now I have three trucks, two trailers. two cars, a minivan and a fire truck. Luckily I have a place to store the fire truck for a while cause my corner lot is full.

Nay brother, chastise him not. For not only has he confessed to his sins, but he has now truly seen the light!

It's not your fault - it's the "Cheerios Effect" this link explains it.
