Bought mine off the lot. Manual windows and locks, smallest radio. AC, 44LSD axle, tint, hardtop, mats. 3.6 AT. Out the door for 32k four days after I decided to buy.
I took it to a shop I trust and told them to install batteries that can jumpstart downtown Cleveland. Then I sat and read a book until they were done. Paid $500 and went away.
Kids.... It was 56 years ago that I stood on the yellow foorprints. Lot of what they taught you about hadnt even happened. Now I'm at the age where I cant remember a lot of stuff that happened, and some of what I remenber didnt happen.
Being a retired teacher over 65 is OK. The state pays me to stay home and the feds pay me to keep breathing...and will even pay for the oxygen if I need it
We put up half a hog every year, including bacon and sausage... Locally raised and processed. Usually a quarter beef as well. Typically averages out around $3/lb.
So, at my local mechanic shop this morning for oil change on wife's Mountaineer. Big ole Glad-he-ate-her out front. Mud monster 40s on 20" beadlocks with a 6" lift. And an angry grill. And no winch. And no rails. And not a single mark in the four year old paint.
And not one single damned duck!
