Yeah, I hear ya man. When I bought my Mustang I got rid of my 95 ranger. I bought it for $1200 with 120,000. I had it for 5 years, no big problems, and finished her off with 250,000 miles. You really grow atached to a good truck, its sad to see them go.

SoldOne · 04-13-2009, 06:33 PM

damn...i guess your getting the slocus?

pavester · 04-13-2009, 06:34 PM

just saw it for sale too. sad to see it go man.

BLUEOVAL · 04-13-2009, 06:36 PM

ya someone got a hell of a deal. it sucks seeing a truck you like go. I still miss my 5.0 exploder that lasted 250,000 miles on original motor and tranny before I sold it.

mmadden55 · 04-13-2009, 06:38 PM

Hard to say goodbye to an old friend.

Yup. I teared up a bit when the 'Velle was towed away to the new owner. Oh well, next car will fill that void.

BLUEOVAL · 04-13-2009, 06:48 PM

oh and you guys suck with your no rust stuff, that same truck would sell up here for 1,000-3000 dollars with rust holes in it lol.

x2. That truck would EASILY go for 4-7K here. I fucking hate car prices around here. Except when it comes to JDM imports.

s10tuner86 · 04-13-2009, 07:29 PM

I HATE RUST my 97 and 96 look worse then that thing did

Dr. Phil · 04-13-2009, 07:35 PM

Sad to see then go sometimes. You'll pull through.

sort of like in austin powers when doctor evil was on the moon, and minime was stuck way up in the chair. doctor evil was saying he didnt know what he would do if he lost mini me. probably get another mini me made and carry on. "but there would be a period of like 5 minutes there where i would be completely inconsolable".

it's not that simple, i had a lot of excellent adventures in that truck. lots of good times, a few bad times. it took me everywhere i wanted to go, and was a tank. i really hope the new owner takes good care of it, and i hope it sees another 100K before the wrecker finally has to come haul it away.

and i did tear up a little watching it drive away.

Exactly. You associate good times with it. I was like that with my Chevelle. Too much fun was had in that car. It's doing good now anyways.

i can tell the type you are. You just have your cars to try and be cool. You care too much about what other people think. My cars are like my babies, I dont care if they are ugly or no one else likes them i still love the crap out of them. Ive worked hard for them and they are mine, so I become attached. I can tell you just dont care, if your car got wrecked youd just be like ok im going to get another one. so gtfo if you dont even understand. If I had shit handed to me on a silver platter, or didnt love everything about cars I wouldnt care either. Mabye one day that sweet viper of yours will get you laid, but she wont call you back the next day. /rant

I have never met will(junkie) in person but simply judging by what I've seen on rkc, you have him completely wrong.

In the end, it is just metal. It is replaceable, relatively speaking.

oh... and I think your a douche.

Yup. Although according to our research about 3/5 Viper owners are afflicted with douchebagitis.
