I'm like you; haven't had trucks but I've sold some tractors & it about made me sick; still see 2 of them & I think that makes me sicker! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46813-said-goodbye-today/#findComment-345426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I can sell a few of my cars no problems but NOT my motorcycles or trucks. Every one seems to be and old friend no matter how long I've had it. Sold my owned since new, 1988 Dodge Ram last winter and am still sick over the mistake.

yarnall Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I feel your pain. I am no good at selling things either. I have sold a few things and have regretted it before they left. One I bought back. I had two I sold that I knew were being parted out. That was even worse. I didn't want them but didn't want them cut up. I could never do it as a business. You will be happy when you get the Autocar back looking nice though.

Hobert62 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 You can all make fun of me but the best car I ever owned was a 1991 ford festiva. I beat that car for 11 years back and forth to work. I literarily ran the shit out of it, and it never missed a beat. It got 40+ mpg and other then the occasional oil changes the car took nothing, It still had the same battery in it the day it left. When it was time to go I made the guy come get one night after I left for work. So don't feel bad for being attached to a truck, I was to a festiva.

eddeere Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I know the feeling. I had around 20 two cylinder J.D. s. Sold all but 3. Had a 51 G with the power block and a lot of extras. Power steering,live hydraulics, break away couplings,hour meter, & a schwartz wide front.To this day sad I sold it. I would buy it back if I could find it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46813-said-goodbye-today/#findComment-345468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Don't feel bad, I have a friend that LOVED his Festiva's. He had about a half dozen red ones(just always found red ones?). He would just keep parting them down to keep one running. Around here they rotted to pieces so you had to keep a few around for parts. He thought they were better then sliced bread LOL! I despised having to ride in them, but what could I do? If you leaned your butt cheek against them, it would dent. Just did not feel very safe to ride in a car you could mangle just leaning on. I've sold/traded in a few pickups. Kinda miss them in certain ways, but miss the good times I had in them. Definitely takes me back to a better time when I think of them. Like my new '96 F350 dually that I put a supercharge on. Man that thing was as HOOT to drive. It ran with the Lightnings of the day and that was pretty good for a big truck. Back then you didn't have all the Dodge/cummins that run like they do today. To have a dually run in the 15's in the 1/4 mile was pretty impressive. Wouldn't wanna have to pay the fuel bill in todays market though.

Mike Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've had lots of girl friends etc. etc. and have not grieved over them, but when I lose a vehicle I cannot get over it. I'm still grieving over my first one since 1971. The old vehicles don't let you down as often as wimmins does. And you keep on paying for them. I use my eyes more than I do my flashlight now days. Happier than ever to. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46813-said-goodbye-today/#findComment-345490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 66dc75 Posted September 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sold / traded in a lot of vehicles over the years just did my best to not look back. The one I really regret was selling my '70 Chevelle for the down payment on the house my ex wife lives in. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46813-said-goodbye-today/#findComment-345502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
