I like Ford trucks. This one should last me for a while longer. I've
had it since 2008 and it just turned 32K miles.


I have a "97" Toyota T-100 silver/grey, it has 90k miles on it.
Paint still looks great except for a few belt buckle scratches in
the clear coat.
My daughter knocked down a telephone pole with it. Luckily she hit
where the frame runs front to rear. I had to change the bumper and the
headlight ass'y, the grill piece was still good. Parts were less than
$500, the telephone pole about $4,000. The power company wanted $8,500,
for their work, I negotiated it down to $5,500 at $100 a month.
After a couple years, I offered a lump sum pay off and they took it.
Oh, the Toyota, I have had it 16 years, only problems I have had are a
couple of batteries and I had to replace the contacts in the starter
solenoid twice. I should probably order some, as I recall the cost is
about 1/5 over the internet than from my local Toyota dealer.
