    Idk, you all are hilarious. Forgive me.

    As well as I drove WWW's F250 extended cab XL bed on and off for 10 years when it then became my primary vehicle for a couple years (nope, you do not want to hear about my parking in the crowded walmart parking lot and flagging down customers to stop tiny cars from zipping behind me a few times when trying to back out in the tight lanes and stupid little tiny cars trying to zip behind).

    Ya, I find my driving that huge thing I practically had to climb up to get into hilarious too. Once at our previous home that was in the mountains on a

    :rofl: :lol:, sorry :emb:

    and the road was crowned so high from a well meaning and nice neighbor (it was guaranteed falling off a cliff or sliding into a ditch ) that I got stuck on the crown backing the long truck out, front wheels in the decline to my driveway and back wheels in the ditch on the on the other side of the road (we became well practiced about backing up out of the driveway after all those years instead ( and that truck could not do 3 point nor 6 point turned in the driveway anyway...) except the emergency brake was too loose to use for me to get out and engage the front hubs. I thought about turning it off and leaving the stick in reverse but that truck was so big and heavy and my 81' Supra had slipped out of gear in the same place with out that high of a crown once so I ended up just sitting there idling for like 10 minutes knowing someone would come by. It was was early in the morning but WWW heard the sound of the engine and came out and turned the hubs for me. I disengaged the hubs at the bottom of the road and still got to work on time:)

    Have you peeked at the listing and any advice? Neighbor wants the whole thing removed (vs parting it out).

    The last bid is the only one that counts...I never bid until the last second, no point in it unless you can't be online when the auction ends.
