Calculating Sucks!

oh we are coming in luxury!
Max's business class seat just got move up to first class!

picked this up Saturday, the deal of the century
F250 supercrew Lariet 6.4 Diesel
old guy bought it 2 weeks earlier for $48,000
drove it home
put it in the garage
decided he couldn't get into it
waited...waiting...then took it back
244 mile, already titled, had to go to used vehicles
I picked it up
for $37,000 drive out with extended warrenty and GAP insurance
thought I would feel sorry for the old guy but nope!
he must of just written another check for the smaller 150
only problem, I was looking forward to not having a truck payment
good to have a freind as a Manager of a Ford dealership...sometimes!

Oh? and how many club members do you know that will spend this kind of money just to make it to Slickstock in Style!
shoot! I might look at this another way? if I keep this up Max will never want to finish his truck!

nice!!

[Max]

You weren't kidding about conquering the hills on the way this time! Very nice and a little less inconspicuous than big red.

Hmmm. Diesel. Jet A. What's the difference?

[36truck]

Very nice truck plus a great deal.

[ezernut9mm]

why gap ins? looks like you paid way under book and shouldn't nned that.

nice ride for sure though!

[Anthony]

Sweet, but couldn't you have bought another slick for that kind of money?? heck, maybe even two..... Nice. Everyone needs the 'ol reliable to be sure and get you there and back in comfort. Nice score....

the calculating part just got a little harder, as of last night
Oh to have a Crystal Ball

And I'm going to stay positive about this (after the new purchase)
But I really, really do not care for all the new and improved ideas that are coming out of our "new President" now!

Wife works for prime NASA contractor,
and the main bread winner in the family,

or that is up until October when she gets canned along with all of the rest!
she will get a nice Severance package but won't carry us over for long,

she's in a needed field so should turn out alright?
damn shame thou, been with them for about 20 years?
and this will include half of our other friends also

So we be coming to Slickstock 2010 to have the last whora!

[Alan Mclennan]

That thing would pull 4x that down here!!!!!, can I at least have a ride in it Mike? IT`S not fair I tell you!.

[stronger66ratfink]

Alan, since (and I hope things with the miss's works out?) your coming the fartest to the event... heck if you promise to stay on the American side of the road you could even take him for a spin..TURBO!

Now.. back to the calculating part...it's going to get better but at the cost of the 2005 Saleen... might be taking it with me via a trailer as far as New Orleans come Wed. and Petty Officer Smith will met me there and take her on to Jacksonville,
soon after I will be depositing a nice check into the bank that will find it's way into other peoples pockets why to fast!

but... that will leave a empty parking spot... carpeting to!
for something else in the future

sorry had to add this little story.
growing up in the heart land of Oklahoma we often saw the local poor man who lifed in the shack up the road, no money but had a brand new Cati in the front yard..empty of coarse but he had a nice ride!
was thinking to myself...Rat...don't become that old fart!

[blackagatha]

schits about your wife's job..... new and improved president is making this a great country alright!
