hard to say goodbye...again

[rathr-b-cruisin]

I had to say goodbye to my 93 ranger, with knee pain it was hard to shift. so i sold it to one of my son's friends last year. this winter he rolled it. He hit some black ice and spun around, flipped it into a ditch and hit a tree. He came away with a few scrapes and bruises. the truck did not fare so well. I had told him when he bought it that i wanted first shot at buying this back when he was ready to upgrade. now, goodbye for ever.

Ouch. Glad everyone survived, though

That is too bad, it looks like it was a nice truck. Did its job of protecting occupants well though.

Never had to and I hope I never do but I wonder if it would be easier to say goodbye to a wreck than a good truck.

Ouch. Glad he walked away.

85, IMO, it's far easier to say good bye to a good truck/car than a wreck. I totaled my first nice car being 21 and dumb and I still hate myself for it 8 years later. What I would give to have it back.

Dang, that could have turned out really bad. Glad its just the truck you gotta say goodbye to...it can be replaced, people, not so much.

I have sold one vehicle, it took the moron that bought it a month to rear end a pickup with it and totally crunch the hood and then he beat the crap out of it for 4 more months before it disappeared for good.

So I may be kind of biased...

Yeouch. That looked like it used to be a nice clean truck too. There really isn't much left...

It was a good running truck. Had the 4.0 OHV 5 speed. Manual locking hubs. I was the only one that would drive it because of the 5 speed. I got it from my father in law for 500 bucks and put a lot of money into it. He did nothing to it in the 5 years he had it but drive it and put gas in it. Never changed the oil!!! I had her purring like a kitten. I went to look at it and there was not a single body panel that didnt have a dent in it. I told him the engine may be good and someone would probably want it but he sent it all to scrap.

This is what she looked like the day I put her up for sale:
