Minnie, I hope everything is OK or better in your belly.
Sorry about your car accident. They suck. Now you get to fight with the insurance company. I wish you well. See I stayed off my soap box on this!
I have a 2000 Ford 350, I love it. It is the extended cab diesel. Not economical but a real work horse. It pulls anything I ask it too. I have close to 250k on it. I want to get another 250k from it. I have looked at new ones but to replace it would cost 70 grand. I am not going to do it. Why would I want to spend that kind of money to get a truck that is prettier but not do the job any better. I would like to get a new interior in it, not because it is ruin out, but because I am a slob and the carpet shows it.
I can identify with you not wanting a different car, good luck, I hope they fix it.
