Yup, good ol' Oregon....... it started raining.

And of course I was talking about my Bronco top, sheesh people!!  LOL

(Just felt like being a wise arse today.... and after all, it was a true story, haha)

And hey, no laughing about my ride. It's an oldie but a goodie.

Just wait till I get all my stuff put on it- and get it jacked up- and painted- and my bigger tires. You drive what you can afford to buy, haha.  LOL

That sucks... but I like your ride!

the subject line definately got my attention

Hey - I prefer older rides. New stuff costs too much and depreciates too quickly. Especially the American made cars. I figure let someone else pay those huge payments and I will come in and pay cash for them after they pay on them for the first 5-6yrs.

Well, when my Suburban broke down (again...!!) I was stuck without a ride, and my stepdad got this from a guy he works with...... $1500, and it had a new rebuilt motor.

So, it may not be the prettiest thing on the block (yet) but atleast the engine itself is sound. They put new dual exhaust & headers on it. And, haha, I guess that makes up alot for the looks of it. Cause dang...... I sound good coming down the road anyhow.  LOL  Still got a few other little things I need to fix. (rearend & a stearing box..) But I'm looking for those parts. Then all it will need will be the cosmetics. And I can handle that, long as it gets me where I'm going and back home. (oh, and the stereo rocks... )



That's how I am too. Why put $300-500 in monthly payments to own something I can't fix when it does break down? These are pretty easy to work on, if you know any mechanics at all.... and I can spend my monthly $$ on the fun "extras". Give it some character.  :D

Amanda- I've been waiting for nice weather to yank the top off....... we had nice weather for over a week...... so, yeah, it sucked that it rained THE DAY I finally took it off. But I only put 4 bolts back in, haha, so I can yank it back off quick enough soon as this little Oregon cloudy spell passes.

Dear Mizz Attitude -
I am new to your country.  Please explain to me why I need big truck.  Right now
I keep about 10's CD in car.  Should I keep my entire collection in back?  I suppose I could put grandmother from old country and her rocking chair back there.  Just wondering.  Please don't tell me to go back to old country.  They don't have your wonderful Kraft macoroni and cheese.

Thank you.

You're not foolin' me yanno....... and talking like that, haha, Don- you're startin' to sound like the locals!!  LOL

You're car is fine..... just..... jack it up a bit, and put some Toyota 4 X 4 running gear under it, and some Nerf bars on the side- and you'll be good to go.  :D

That is so kewl....you got satelite tv in that buggar.....I see the dish on your right front fender......Oregon rocks......lmao....you guys are way ahead of us hoosiers.....jj

hon, i'm just glad what happens to me when i take my top off didn't happen to you....which isssss....ummmmm...nothing.....yawnnnn....ho hummmm

and yep!  same thing happened when i took the top off my car....which i don't have anymore btw....i totalled it....

Well....I see two things wrong with that truck.

A-It's a Ford

B-It can't haul much hay, and if you tried to haul hay with it, half of it would blow into the cab and get in your eyes...Except in your case, it would get in your mouth.  LMAO

Gurl, if you need true four wheel drive, get a horse. Then, whenever you take your top off the sun will shine fersure!

I need your email addy. I want to send you some pics.

(that really is a nice truck, btw)

I am going to be done with car payments in a couple of months.
I can't wait. I will never buy a new car again.

When I buy a car I keep it until it has taken it's last breath. I like the
idea of buying new because I know exactly what shape the car is in when I buy it.
I'm afraid of buying someone elses lemon. Not anymore. I'd rather take the chance
than to be stuck with high payments.

Now you're talkin' Don. Who needs shoes when you can ride in a souped up car?  LOL



Those are good years. My hubby drives a '69, my son is still fixing up his '68.... they both have 390's. Yup, those motors can haul. (especially if you get a 4 barrel carb) Not nice on gas mileage though.  :no:



A little town kinda 1/2 way between Portland & Salem. (Canby)  :wave:



That does look like it's mounted on my hood, huh?  LMAO  Nope, sorry, it's growing in the front yard. Just the way the Bronco was sitting. You're too funny.



Ah, I gotta hear that story now yanno. PM me the details.  LOL  And you wrecked our getaway car?!?!?! Thelma, how we gonna do our thang now without a convertible? Guess we could use the Bronco. (if we can afford the gas)  LOL



Uh-huh. And it'll go lots of places your low rider Chevy would be scared to go.  :D  If you ever "get stuck" anywhere, just gimme a call, okay? I'd be glad to come pull you out.  :wink:



Mister, I've hauled hay in the trunk of a 1979 Ford LTD, you learn to make do when necesarry. Besides, my big dog doesn't eat hay. Just mouthy men.



Dare I trust you?  LOL   Okay, okay..... it's not like it's secret from anyone, it's listed here.......   singin_along  at   yahoo.



Well, it's not so nice YET..... but it will be when I get done with it. I got BIG plans for it. Then I'll post my "after" pics.



Yeah, I've made hefty car payments before too, and any way I look at it- it just doesn't make sense. Unless vanity makes you drive something newer.  The older ones- in the long run- are more reliable anyhow. Try to get 200-300,000 miles out of some of these brand new cars without a major overhaul.  :no:  Wont happen. Time you factor in the price, the interest, the high insurance... ... and these older ones, they WILL have more mechanical issues. BUT..... they take the price of maybe what? What one or two car payments would be on a new car to fix them- then you're good to go. I will NEVER buy a new car again. Or a used expensive car off a lot.  Unless of course, gas gets too bad, and I go for a hybrid. Heaven forbid though.

Oh, and G'Morning everybody.  *Yawning & stretching*  :D

Yep,

I sold my Trans Am 2 yearsago once it was paid off....616 per month for 60 months plus 150 month insurance, so that car cost me a total of 45,960....It adds up, huh?

I sold it and bought my truck with cash...Now I pay 50/month insurance and put the rest in the stock market-I liked the results of investing so much that I then increased my investments to almost 1300/month. So not only am I now saving money, I'm doing it at double the rate I was wasting it on a new car....DUH!...And here it is just now noon and my favorite international stock fund has already earned me 900 bucks for the day....DUH!....Who the heck wants a car payment when they could be paying themself instead?

....No more brand new cars/trucks for me unless I pay cash for it, but the odds are I will continue to buy used....So ok, I just spent 420 on all the parts required to totally rebuild the brake system, but that is still less than one month's payment on a financed car where the brakes aren't warrantied anyway.....And that new brake system will last me 60-70 thousand miles.

Yeah, Keith........ I gave ya my email addy........ not that you didn't have it already:

So where's the pics? You've got my curiosity up.  :dancin:

(and it better not be pics with YOUR "curiosity up")  LMAO

OMG, did I really say that?  :no:

Sorry sweetcheeks I must have missed your email addy before now.....But now that I got it, I'll send you some pics fersure.

My 'curiosity' stays up, so ignore it....Just consider that it's natural for a man to walk around with his stuff sticking out....You women have to go out in public with your chest pokeing out and suffer stares and judgement, so why should I be different?

...any pics I send you will be child safe.....I only do cyber in person.

Ok, I sent you some pics....I hope you ain't on dial up cause it will take two hours to download them if you are....They are horse pics.....And pics of my almost ex wife....They were taken last Sunday when she came over to go riding.....It's looking like we will stay married.

I gave her a key to the house Sunday......She will start moving stuff back this week.

My buddy Robbie is pizzed at me cause I allowed her to come home....Robbie ain't never had any of her fluffy stuff, so he can't understand why I miss her.....Robbie ain't got freckles and Robbie hasn't broke his own horse like she has....nope, robbie just don't understand.

Robbie will get over it.
