Our Ford F-250 has been more than just a project car—it’s also a member of the family, our home away from home, and a faithful companion for four years and 30,000 miles.

The best time is right before it becomes an unreliable workhorse. Like when I decided to sell my 2000 Tundra and the starter went out as soon as I listed the ad. Whoops.
nah, I am in a similar boat with my daily. While the GRM community spirit might be that we can keep a hunk of junk alive forever, the will is lacking for my daily driver. ESPECIALLY as I dont want to get stranded with young kids.
An added aside, the features that they are throwing into even the cheaper new vehicles... What I am buying is not expensive in terms of new vehicles, and I am getting heated seats/steering wheel, integrated trailer brake control, a radio compatible with my phone with steering wheel controls, blind spot detection, a camera that shows you the hitch as you back up to hook up, etc.... For daily duty, well I must be getting older, as these things are increasing in desiraeablility to me...
And SOLD! The F-250 is retiring to a carefree life towing a fishing boat on weekends--I hope it serves the new owner well.

Had not thought of Mauldin in years.
My Dad had a couple of his cartoon books.

Before it really poops the bed. My suburban went to 209k miles before I threw in the towel.
