Waiting

About a month ago, Grilltech's pickup died. We've been car pooling and waiting for our tax return to show up. It showed up two weeks later than expected; but it did show. Grilltech has been researching pickups in the area and found on one way home. We test drove it and when he started it there was the tell-tale high pitched tapping. As he drove around; each double tap caused the asking price in my head to drop. I looked over at him and said no. So he went with the second option; one I had said Seriously? The guy can't spell and the pickup looks rode hard and put away wet. Grilltech called him and he took the battered little thing for a drive - which runs like a dream and has some serious power under the hood. So today we're going to get some CAH-ASH* for it. We're going to be a two car family again.

* CAH-ASH – who uses that anymore? I’ve got a plastic card…

Good choice - the pretty one with problems is no match for the one that's been taken care of.
Hmmm, something I need to remember when my son starts bringing home girlfriends...

A lot of times the ones that look like crap are the ones with the engines that have been lovingly fondled with expensive oil and lots of tlc... good choice!

Glad you guys found a truck, and from the sounds of it, one that sounds like it's been taken care of :)

I've (finally) managed to convert my boyfriend from cash to using the plastic kind of cash. He hasn't looked back. We only keep cash when we need to - otherwise, I spend it on useless crap that I don't need, lol
