Alright ladies and gents, another new addition to the slick sixties here. Background: 2 months ago I pulled out in front of a fast and furious infinity. Speed limit was 35mph but I am sure that little car was not capable of 35. End result...Totaled 2010 F150 Good news: 3year old daughter made it out with only bruises (my only concern). The SHOCKER!: Wife feels my pain and offers up the suggestion... "Honey, why dont you look around and see if you can't find that old Ford pick up like your grandfather used to have when you were a kid, FOR SALE?" "I know that you have wanted one for a long time now..." Devine Intervention: Mention this comment to my neighbor (Old Truck Enthusiast). Two days later he knocks on my door and says, "Get your shoes on...I FOUND YOUR TRUCK!!!" Here she is, the wife has already named her LADYBIRD. I will explain that later. To be continued...
R.I.P. Black Betty 9/2010-10/2011 "It was a good ride girl but sometimes it's the best rides that end too quickly!"
You would have thought flat foot, but the old girl is now my daily driver and SF ins. is charging me the same rate as the f150 because I lost: 1. multi car discount (not applicable to cl***ic vehicles) 2. accident free status (not sure when/if that will return) However; the taxes are much cheeper!
