My ole truck lol or I should say my oldest truck. Haven’t taken any pictures of the 1989 recently so I took some the other day when I had to use it to go pick up some wood. I am debating if I want to drive it to work. I have never pulled a really steep hill in it so I’m worried it would not make it up it lol. It hasn’t really done much riding since I left school but I do drive it sometimes. Honestly I just don’t want to put miles on it lol. It’s only got 109,000 original miles.
I understand.... I used to as well.. (heck, one car... inherited from Grandpa, I even "felt a disturbance in The Force" when it got stolen... can't explain it, I just had a connection to that car....)
not so much with the last 2 cars, just never felt that "close" to them... (well, one didn't really go away, the 2005 neon I bought from my older brother in 2010, I sold it to my buddy's mom in 2014, and his Little brother (26-ish) is still driving it around Ft. Campbell, KY)
Cliffjumper however....he's my boy.
I can send you/post the occasional pic of my Ruby Red Cmax (Cliffjumper) if you like?
unless my plethora of stickers/decals would offend your sensibilities... Don't need anyone clutching at their pearls...
and Dang... I was gonna see if you'd sell me the Cargo cover if you had it.
the Previous owner misplaced the one for my car.

They are really up in value right now.
This one had 46k on it..2016 model
Carvana paid just about $18,871.
I put my info into Carvana last week for the heck of it..
2013, ~88k mi they offered me $8706.
I still owe a little under $3k....
but he's my only car, and what am I gonna replace him with for $5k?
besides, I already know what I want for my next used car.
A Maverick hybrid.
I may have to adjust my "sweet spot" though, if the market doesn't return to "normal" in the next 5-ish years.
my usual used car sweet spot is ~5yrs old, ~60k mi, ~$10k
How many vehicles have you flipped since the car market went wild?

Did you ever get keys for the other one?
Now that's awesome!

Negative. I’ll probably just end up ordering a new set but save the old ones for when I do find the keys

Um...that is the 6 point 1/2" and the 3/4" ;-)
