Default She's gone!

Today's excerpt from my Facebook post....

Today i say Good-Bye to a girl I've loved for a good many years. One that's been a bittersweet love affair and most of the times has felt like a 1-way street. I would like to say she's been loyal and faithful but she's been neither of those but truth be told neither have I so I've accepted it and just let it go. i would love to say she's always been there for me but the sad truth is she has let me down more than once and didnt really seem to care she did it. Through our travels we have had our ups and downs but we've always stuck it out until today when I say good bye to you. I would like to say i will miss you but the sad truth also is i will not. you girl are now on your own and i hope you can be happy in your future endeavors... So long Mrs. F150 have a nice life and good riddance!
pretty much sums it up.... lol

traded her in for a 2005 Pontiac Montana with low miles.... no more shifting.

But I actually traded it for this:

I did use the truck some but it isn't up to the task yet.

yes I did.... I never really liked the truck from the day i got it. I was nice and clean and low miles but two things I really didnt enjoy. 1) stick shift... I'm lazy and i hate extra work. 2) ball-less gutless wonder. Although it would move mountains it just wouldnt do it quick enough.

So when it came time for a newer vehicle for the wife i glad put my truck on the chopping block....

The only thing I care to put in my Chevy is a TV. Maybe a fridge.
