Unhappy It's a sad day..

With today's diesel prices and the amount of commuting I'm doing, we finally decided to trade the beast in on something much more economical. **sigh** It's HARD going from my one ton to a Honda Accord.

If you don't need a truck, you did the right thing.

Look at the bright side.

When the price of gasoline climbs to over $3.00 a gallon this summer, you can buy a NEW diesel truck to save money.

Had you not considered selling your blood? or maybe a few non essential organs?

Tough break Tom, but there may be a better one later on in your future Thats the thing about life, you really never know what twists and turns you will make along the way. But some how things seem to work out in the end.

You'll be back! I know a guy who sold his 2002 to get out of the payments so he could go to school. His truck was nice & bombed to the tune of about 400 hp. Well I think he went thru withdrawls because now he's driving an older 12v & already started bombing it.

Good luck with your honda.

On the bright side at least you got to drive and have fun with your truck for a long time and many miles. And you went from a great truck to a great car. I am concerned that the price of fuel will continue to escalate. 1.3 BILLION Chinese wanting to have refrigerators and a car. Lookout.

I feel for you. Every time I start my CTD and feel the torque just waiting to be unleashed, I will think of you. Makes me want to go in the driveway and hug my truck right now.
I am so sorry man.

Keep the truck and find a beater honda.

Park the truck for a couple months, you'll see the prices turn around, summer is coming.

Would you part out Mrs. Evil if you had to get rid of her??!!!


Sorry to hear about that Tom. You made an intelligent decision (maybe someday you will come to your senses). Look at it this way, just say to yourself you are holding off until the Megacabs come out.
