For the last fifteen years, I have been driving a 1976 Ford F250 pickup. When people would ask "when are you going to buy yourself a new truck", I would tell them that I would get a new (to me, I don't buy new) one when this one died. Well, today I pronounced it. With a bit of work and more money than I'm willing to put into it, it has a few more years in it but it's not worth it to me. This is a dark day. Not because my truck died, I never really liked it, but now I have to buy a new one. The money is no big deal, I just loath shopping for vehicles. I hate to drive. I can tell you the make and model of every car and truck on the road, as long as I'm close enough to read the nameplate. In addition, car dealers rate right up there with lawyers as my most favorite people. Best I can hope for out of this is I get something that I will be able to drive for as many years as the last one. R.I.P
