Truck!!!!!!!

I have wanted a truck ever since I started driving. When I was 15, my dad gave me his '98 F-150 Lariat Extended Cab. My family owns a Goodyear store and do all our own work and it was fixed up real nice with an 8" lift and dual exhaust. I sold it to buy my horse, Even. Never regretted that, but still, I wanted a truck. My real first car was a Chevy Cavalier that I had for 2 days because I couldn't drive stick. Traded it for a '99 Saturn SC2 and drove that all through high school. When I left for college I got my moms '04 Jetta. It's a nice little car, but it's so slow and just not me. I wanted a truck.

Today my dad called me to see how I was doing and then was like, Oh, by the way I think I found you a truck.... What?!?!?! No way! He's got a truck that's been sitting out in the back lot of our store, left by someone who couldn't pay. It needs a little work, but what's the point of owning a Goodyear store if not to fix trucks! Anyways, it's my dream truck. A 2003 F-150 King Ranch Super Crew!!!!!! I'm so excited I can barely sit still for wanting to drive all the way home and look at it. I'm so hard on my little car, jumping ditches and driving through mud pits, I really am a truck person. Best part is it's green with gold trim, and those are my show colors! I looked it up online and it's a gorgeous truck. I'm a Ford girl through and through so this is like the best thing ever as far as I'm concerned. I really hope my dad will let me help fix it up and put a lift kit and some nice tires on it. I swear I'll wash that thing every single week! Ok, I'm done rambling, I'm just so incredibly excited!

Here's the pic I found of the exact truck (although this one is probably in better shape, lol)

Awesome!!

I'm a truck girl too. Right now, I'm driving a '98 Ford Ranger who has definitely seen it's better days ;) Boy, do I love it though.

I hope everything works out :D

Very cool! The fact that it's your show colors makes it that much more awesome! I'm a Ford truck gal, too (you could ask The Yellow Wonder) - I hope you get it! :)

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya! I'm also Ford all the way. Love the King Ranch editions. Hubby drives an '97 F150 and I have an '07 Edge. Love my Edge, can haul feed as well as pull the trailer with it. Keep us posted

Ok, ok, I know, must get pics! I will do my very best. A jeep isn't too bad Jacki. My dad fixed up an '87 Wrangler a few years ago and put a really nice custom paint job on it and everything. I would have taken it in a heartbeat, but it was manual :doh:.
This is honestly my dream truck. I like the '03/'04 body style better than the newer ones (my dad has an '03 F-250 4x4 SuperCrew), I love the colors (same as the truck my dad originally gave me) and I think the King Ranch edition is just about as retty as a truck can get. I've got my fingers crossed it'll be a 4wd, but I would be perfectly happy with 2wd.
