F250

[crazychicknlady]

A couple of weeks ago we bought an old F250, ex-forest service truck. It gets to be our go to Home Depot truck since it's awfully hard to haul wood in a convertible (M's other car).



After bringing it home, New Cat inspected it for us.



She approved, in fact, she claimed it as her rightful property being the head cat of the household.



When we bought it it was missing a tailgate, the AC needed a wire fixed to get it working (now blows very cold), it was missing a door handle and a front triangle window (notice the cardboard M added once we got home). But it runs good.

And, hey, it only cost us twelve hundred bucks.

Sounds like a terrific investment and so much more useful than the very sporty convertible for hauling type chores! I like the color too. I'm a bit of a pickup fan. Most people don't know that about me, but it's true. Someday I'm going to replace the 1958 Chevy pickup I had in my early twenties and paint it cherry red! My ultimate fantasy is to pull a baby airstream behind it someday to park at the Renfaires.

Oh, and the head cat of your household and the head cat of ours look and act an awful lot alike. Cracks me up! Hermione sometimes sits like that on Patrick's Element or on my PT Cruiser. The night we got home from Seattle, she was sitting on the roof right over the big window in the living room looking down on us as we unloaded the car, Queen of all she surveyed. Face it, we are all just Monkey Servants. LOL!

You guys are home now? I need to send Patrick a copy of the CD. (or figure out an excuse to be on your end of town.

I love driving a truck. Especially a less than pristine one. Something nice and tall to give me better visibility, and something a bit ugly to scare people enough that they wont try to cut me off ;-).

I used to think hubby was a truck person (seeing as that was all he drove since I met him), until we got him his Mustang convertible a few years back. He's really a Mustang person. I, however, don't like being that low to the ground - it makes me twitchy.
