Almost 6 years ago, I completed CDL school. Today, I purchased my first truck.

I did not see your post prior to mine... LOL! SPOT ON!

 

Mine asked me one to many times how long was I staying... I work pretty much local, but stayed out for the week... One day I just woke up and called my attorney... $15,000 and 45 days later I was divorced. 22 years of marriage... 45 days to nullify. Very HAPPY!

 

LOL...same here.

I pulled into a truck stop and my $12K 18yr old truck was lined up against some "pretty sorority girls"...and I could not help but chuckle.

I went and caressed my 18yr old girl as I fueled her. She was paying me back with every mile she turned, unlike them other high maintenance chicks...

 

AMEN!

 

Err....I disagree.

Peace of mind,... is priceless (or should I say, worth every penny).

 

Not in the least... 45 days to complete? The law in Michigan is 6 months to finalize... 45 DAYS BABY! I left, and I was left whole. No alimony and or hooks into my future. I'm happy.

And I am not being a prick, we still talk... And have the grandchildren and their parents... Honestly, not much has changed. I'm just not there, but I do miss my dogs.

 

C12 not bad but does have a couple of things to watch for, check oil every day they have a nasty habit of loosing the water pump seal and the weep hole is on the "INSIDE" of the case cover meaning instead of water on the ground you get water in the oil pan!!!

Also, some of them do eat a turbo or two and the early ones would go though a head gasket now and then......

 

Had a '98 with a 3406E, good truck, didn't put any money into it and sold it for $1,000 less than what I paid for it 3 yrs later.
