Changing goals and speed

47? Gee, past the halfway point already. And we older people ALL know that we get less done as we age so as far as productivity is concerned, he's headed for the downside. Not sure you can get much for him.

However, you could take the keys to the '09 Dodge and let him drive that "new" '02 Dodge he wants you to buy.

Wonder if a dealership will take a trade in on the husband? 1970 model, well used but in good shape.

Not old enough to be an antique, maybe you could pass him off as a classic.

Trade in for two 23 yr olds......

Lol. I didn't want to drive his, because it's lifted, it feels funny to me, like unstable and I don't trust it. It was professionally done with sway bars and all, but yeah I don't care for his truck.

I ended up finding a 2009 Dodge 2500 (6.7 I6) 4x4 that runs real nice on Saturday. Mileage is a little higher than I'd like, but it rides nice, and the motor is clean, no drips, no leaks, lol. I won't know what to do when I don't have to fill the oil every time I fill the fuel tank. Of course, it's not a bad habit to be in to check it every time though.

Price? $1500 more than the 2002. Happy I can finally get back to my regularly scheduled life where I don't have to remind my husband of appointments and be driven around like Miss Daisy.

Sure hope is serves ya Well.....sure looks Good....and I know ya just can't wait to get a ding or 2 in it just to break it in to being a Farm truck....
Some how I just can't "Picture" ya as Miss Daisy....

 

[Bruce]

Yeah I don't get the impression @AClark is the "sit in the back and be catered to" type.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Yeh....she'd just open the door, snatch ya out from behind the wheel , and drive herself....as she peels out, and leaves ya eatin' Dust.....

Nice truck! Nothing like having your own ride again. I am glad that you found one that suits your needs. A 2009!!

I totaled my Ford Focus wagon in Houston on the 610 Loop freeway one time. Nothing like being on the side of the road, afoot, with a totaled car, miles from home. It took weeks to get settled with the insurance and get another car.
