Message: [QUOTE="1killerz, post: 1336518, member: 24585"] Hope I am posting in the right spot. If not, please be sure to let me know. Noob here (to the PS Army website anyway) and I would like to tell you a story. Some of you may have heard this story on one or two other sites. For those that have not, here it goes: 8-10 years ago, my beloved Black Cadillac STS was totaled, at my work, while I was not driving, in a parking spot minding its own business. Still pisses me off to this day when I think about it. The good news is, after arm wrestling with the driver at faults insurance agency for a month and a half about totaling the Cadillac versus repairing, common sense soon took place and I was left with a large check via the insurance company versus a repaired and questionably repaired Cadillac. So I got to go shopping. What do I replace my beloved car with? I looked at BMW's, Cadillac's, and other cars I really didn't like. I wanted something different, something reliable, and something that if got hit by another teenager skipping class to get high, maybe wouldn't break as easily as the Cadillac did. A quick look in the Michigan Auto and RV revealed to me my next "Cadillac", a Cowboy Cadillac to be exact. A 1978 F250 Crew Cab. A guy in the Door, MI area had a son who was a moto cross up start, and they had just bought a new bike for him, then lost a sponsor, so they were stuck with the bike bill. So I bought their beloved hauler, complete with a 460CID, auto trans, 39.5 inch super swampers, and sexy faded red paint. Within a few months, I blew the motor (no fault of my own). We rebuilt the 460 to the tune of 485hp, with 535 foot pounds of torque. The thing was kick ass, and I was thankful it had two gas tanks. So fast forward a few years, my career is taking off and along comes the promotion. The promotion came with a hitch, I had to move. Whats a boy to do? I did what most dudes would do; I took the job, ditched the girl, and moved to NYC to begin the next leg of my career. One hitch, they wont ship my truck. They shipped everything else, but they wouldn't ship the truck. After all considerations, the best thing to do is sell it. And sell it I did. Worst mistake ever. I have owned many, many vehicles, but this one was the only one that I ever regretted selling. Thusly, my desire for the this truck, this style, has earned it the moniker "Eleanor". [/QUOTE]
