I love new vehicles, their smell, their look, the no (usually) worry driving---this f150 makes 12 brand new ones, and 6 rental return buys or factory auction ones. Bunch of used also. I bought a new f100 in 1976 (I was 2 months shy of 19) it was a 77 model--I took it to Guttenburg Iowa and had captains chairs and a console put in it, a sun roof installed, dual chrome sidepipes, cragars with goodyear tires, black taneau cover, some painted on graphics,padded velour on the doors and around the sunroof,the truck was dark jade metallic--sharp for its time---corny now! total price was 6300. I got broadsided 2 months later and truck was totaled--I almost was also--9 days in intensive care--I am about 8 years shy of retirement now---I imagine trading days will slow down with retirement.
