Ain't this a b#@ch

Might be depressing to somebody that don't value family time, or communicating with one's children, but kids would rather have their dad to talk to them, not hear whineing about losing a car.........................

With me, my kids and grandkids around me, thumbing through albums of pictures (of cars past), the garage space isn't empty................

 

That sucks. Hope it at least went to a good home. I know that doesn't help though.

 

Sorry to hear this, the truck is one of my favs...here's to a better economy.

 

Always great support here on the hamb...thanks guys,i was just venting


Has a matter of fact the fella i sold it to lives up in the Dallas area.While shooting the shit with him over the phone i mention The Pistons and paint show coming up and he said that me and my wife should drive the truck to the show and afterward meet him at DFW airport and he would pick up the tab to fly us back.......How cool is that.

 

Been there done that!!

 

Good advice, that. Sorry about your truck.

 

Sorry you must sell your pickup it's a great looking ride. I was laid off for 20 weeks this year. I know how it is in the real world. We scraped by. I sold some stuff too. Keep you head up better times are ahead.

 

To put a little bit of a positive spin to the stiuation...at least you had the truck to sell to help make ends meet and keep food on the table. Sucks to have to sell it, but at least it helps the situation.

 

amen

 

That sucks man, but family is always more important! Then when the time comes you can find something else to build and have the enjoyment of doing it all over again!

 

Man that sucks! What a cool looking truck. I know how you feel.I sold my roadster to make a down payment on a house and I sold my 32 phantom pickup to pay for my boys college fund.I grit my teeth but after a couple years I slowly started building another rod as I could afford it.I am now on my 3 rd one . So don't give up hope .You can in time do it again.Think about it ,at least you had something to fall back on.

 

beautiful truck man.
you know what though-you gotta do it sometimes.
there will be more, don't worry.

 

You are not alone. I am sliding towards bankruptcy as we speak, due to medical expenses, and the down economy keeping my income low, despite 60+ hour work weeks. I'd work somewhere else, but nobody's hiring. Downright scary times here.

 

You're alright Bbob, keep a good attitude man and things will come around, they always do. Letting off some steam is good, get it out of the way. Good on you for putting your family first

 

Yet, another reminder-our economy is in a sad state. If only our politicians weren't so far removed from the real world. It is, and has always been, the working class that created our great United States, we will again prevail.....our folks/grand parents can remind us of the Great Depreciation. Really sorry to hear the tale of your nice pick up.

 

I cannot understand how you've been here since '01 and you don't realize there's a no politics on the HAMB rule.

 

That's very cool. That is a nice truck. Maybe you could ask him for first chance/refusal if he decides to part with it in the future.

 

May the HAMB gods bless you 10 fold in the future! UGOTPK

 

Sorry to hear your plight.Remember it's only steel,blood counts for more.Your heart is in the right place man,when things straighten out you can build another,even better now you know how to do it.Good luck,karma will pay you back!

Regards
Mike

 

Sorry about the truck. You did the right thing. Family first. I just sold my F/C to pay some bills, had a little left so I'm gonna build a FED! Lippy

ps, I'll probably sell it too someday, but I'll run the pee out of it first!

 

sorry to hear bbob, loved the truck. the next one will be even better

 

BBOB, You are not alone my friend. I've owned nearly 300 cars in the last 30 years and have had to sell because of financial hardships, raising three kids, med bills, school, business isssues, taxes, house payments..and on and on. It never ends. I learned to never get emotioanlly attached to any vehicle especially when the kids are hungry. Those cars were better than any bank account because I would say about 95% of them I made money on. I've learned that if you had that car once you can always find another. Life is more important than material posessions. Just my 3 cents.

Sorry to here that. But I think that is going to be the trend we are going to here about on here.

 

all the best in the future...

 

Sorry to hear that man. Everything happens for a reason and later you will realize what good comes from the things that suck now.
