Keystone State Thread

Man alive! It stirs my curiosity for you people that have had like 5 or more trucks in a 10-20 year period... what happens to all of them. That's just as interesting as what vehicles you've all had... how did they die or why did you get rid of them.

 

I had a phase of just trading in cars and trucks when I got bored. When I got married that shit stopped.

 

My dad had a '70 Chevelle SS 454 when I was a kid. I still have a memory of going for a ride and me saying something silly to him like "this isn't that fast" then he got on it and that feeling of being pinned back in the seat ...so awesome

That's one of my dream cars, I browse classifieds just for the hell of it and they go for big bucks $$$.

 

Mine:

Ranger had a big rusty hole under the seat and where the seat belt attaches to the floor... so I wasn't brave enough to learn welding at the time. (All that PO'd anxt of losing another vehicle to rust got my goat and stirred me to learn how to weld rusty holes thus my recent Tacoma victory story.) Donated the vehicle to a local agency called CMTS who fix up vehicles and give them to Christian missionary peoples.

S2000 and MR2 were sold off preemptively to buffer the bank balance for the bumpy ride of starting my own veterinary hospital. Was the right choice, but man I wish I still had my MR2

Accord was sold off to my little brother because it was too boring! I had liked my Integra and got used to its "sportiness" that was "meh" with the dumb Accord.

Integra got totaled when some retard was "timing" the light changes in center city Philly and flew over my hood in the middle of the intersection when I was rightfully going through my yellow light.

Subaru GL got ditched when the transmission went out and I didn't want to replace it because it was already an old turd.

 

I as well had a phase where I got bored with vehicles. Just as @Cooktop86 said, marriage and kids is a game changer.

 

My 02 Ranger wasn’t bad at all. It was the manual with a 4.0. I started doing a lot of sidework that’s the only reason I got the 05 F150

 

Current to Past trucks/SUVs - there have been about 6 beater cars in there not worth mentioning
- 03 F250 (still have)
- 19 Taco (just bought)
- 13 Subaru Forester
- 96 Bronco
- 03 Ranger FX4 Level II
- 79 F250
- 83 Bronco
- 88 Bronco

And Pictures in the same order:

 

So Joe nuked his account? @blackout14

 

yes

 

Yea. Internet break. I can pm you his contact info if you want.

 

That is a GORGEOUS ‘79.

 

I have it. Was just curious. Was looking for his thread and couldn’t locate it.

I’ll check in on him this week sometime.

 

My trucks;
79' SR5, 5spd, short bed, 20R engine
80' F150, 5spd. long bed, in-line 6-banger
84' Dodge Ram Charger, former Fairmount Park mounted Police truck, used to pull the horse trailers. 381 with heavy duty trans, battery, alt. class 3 hitch with a plate steel push bumper, & spot light. Still in Blue & white livery. My favorite truck from the past.
05' Tacoma P/R, dblc-current

 

...I'm 31... Does a beat-up old mountain bike help boost my numbers? *sigh* I'm significantly behind the eight ball when it comes to being a late bloomer in life. 2 cars, delayed start of college, born a day late, (don't mind my dry humor, I've been zoned in on statistics the last 4 days...)

 

Dry humor accepted! ( also the old beat up mountain bike totally counts )
