Time to say goodbye

Love my truck but I don't get attached to to much other than my wife and my dog.
Sold my truck today to a guy from France.
6or 7 years finished 12,000 miles and tons of fun.

Re: Time to say goodbye

So, more satisfaction building than keeping and maintaining.

I have the same problem. What is next. That truck looks like it brought a pretty penny

Re: Time to say goodbye

Just remember that ownership isn't a requirement to hang around with this brigade. Just liking AD and TF trucks is enough.

Thanks....it was time to let it go.
12k miles on it so it was just getting to the point for a freshen up to get it to the quality I want.
Didn't have it in me with just working out the bugs on the burb, half way finished with the 56 build and a promotion at work that has me on the road 10-15 days a month.
Besides I put what I think was a stupid number on it and it sold.

Can't argue with that. Whereas i have somewhat of an emotional attachment to mine, If someone agreed to my stupid number it would be gone too.
