Yep. They survived. There was some local flooding.

Can’t believe what I just did. The 2014 at 98,600 miles started making a loud noise like a bearing going out and has a water leak. So probably the water pump. Rather than mess with getting it worked on I traded it in on a 2020 XLT Sport. Black with black interior. Pick it up tomorrow

I would imagine there are some pretty good incentives on new trucks right now - your old ride picked an ideal time to spit the bit....!!!

My neighbor is 91 years old and has a five year old Toyota pickup, it's blue.
One day I come home and the truck is tan.
So I ask him, "Jesse, did you paint your truck?"
He says, "No, I traded it. Those tires had 20,000 miles on them."

Wow! That’s too bad Patrick. Hope it all works out for you. It’s time everyone got to go back to work. Can’t help but feel there was a lot of over reaction.

Congratulations on the new ride, Jim - one nice thing about being a geezer is that you’re not worried about losing a job anymore! What a shock that the new truck is black.....😂

Sorry to hear about the lay-off, Patrick - it kind of surprises me because the auto repair places around my area all seem to be busy! Wish you lived in Houston - I need some work done on a couple of my collector cars and would throw some work your way! Are you furloughed or straight laid off.....???

Load those suckers up and take em to him. I've lost count how many 1000 mile round trips I've done taking my vehicles to Patrick and picking em back up a few weeks later when done. Just got done doing that with my Grand Marquis a month ago.
