daddy's new ride.

I already have two potential buyers lined up for the older one. One is a guy who's always gushed over it and the other is the 25-year-old son of one of my other buddies.

It'd be nice to see it stick around the area.

I wouldn't want to see someone tear it up.

An update on the new ride.

I got 16.1 MPG over 460 or so miles from Charlotte to New Albany through the mountains with an entire OEM set of 20" wheels ant tires, the original suspension parts and some other random crap in the back while doing around 80 MPH the entire way. All while rolling on the 22's.

Today, on my way back from the lake, I took a 67 mile route that took me through the countryside with max speeds of 60 MPH and I managed to pull off 20.8 MPG while driving carefully. It was not my typical driving style, but I wanted to see what it could do if I tried.

I was pleasantly surprised.

I have considered a Tahoe for my next ride. I think I have too much nasty stuff to haul though that I would miss a truck.

Yeah, I definitely understand that. I have the trailer though so I can rely on that in most cases. It's a trade-off for sure. The wife and the dogs win though.

The one guy has a pretty nice and mildly lifted '79 F-150 that I might be willing to take on trade with some cash. It would be nice to have something around that I could use like a truck.

That would be pretty sweet! My first truck was a 74 Ford 4x4. I loved that truck. Still miss it.

I had a '78 for my first so this will be like going back in time if it works out.

This one does have the square headlights too.
