Truck still for sale, but will throw out another idea.
Will consider trade for the correct 2 seat convertible. Doesn't need to have a V8, or even be fast, stick or automatic ok. I want to look good in a top down situation while sunburning my bald head and getting some decent gas mileage while doing so. What ya got????

Posted - December 03 2005 : 12:25:57 PM Yeah.... me either. But, I wish to pursue a different vehicle, and the only way of doing it is by selling this....... my pockets aren't deep enuff to do both..... unfortunately. |
