Tow rig/daily driver

Well...good time to bump this thread. The 17' F150 I just bought developed a nasty Trans shutter. Debating if I should fix or or send it down the road. The shit luck continues...

Oh, and the VW I bought for my commuter? I ordered the dual mass flywheel for it today. It hasn't moved in 3 months. 84,ish miles and it's junk. I'm going to need to get a dealers license this year at this rate.

Just more shit added to my pile. I always wondered why people would buy new every couple of years...well.

Duuuuuuude.....

I did the fluid and filter already...just picked it up from that actually.

Damn Dave that sucks

At least I got to put 2,200 miles on it before it needed work...

Just unreal luck I spoze. The person you bought it from surely hid it well from you. Probably was running on 100% shudder stop in there.

Jezzz-ass. Every truck out there right now is a 1 ton Tundra with a 5.9 Cummins mated to an Allison with the King Ranch package! Should probably fix or it or sell it and go without.

New is cheaper than used right now. Order one, save a few months to help reduce the sting until she is delivered, enjoy the new truck with warranty. Focus your energy on more important things!

This ^^^. I'm considering doing this myself right now. My wife, however, is not on-board with the idea.

Yeah...seems I've tried trucks in all the normal price ranges. Might just be time to take the plunge. Just a hard one to swallow being that it's almost more of a want these days than a need.

Sell the truck and fix the car then.

And the top Maverick pic is a fantastic representation of a tiny percentage of the Mavericks out there. Most of them did NOT look that good.

Red has a tendency too do that….

I remember most of them looking more like this one. Ugly ducklings.
