Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 23, 2020

The last car I bought came in at about a third of that and that one was the most expensive car I ever bought.

The only thing i have ever bought new was my pickup which i still have. I paid just a little over 5.000 for it.

At current prices for a new pu truck, fully loaded should mean a toolbox (or three) full of tools, a trailer with boat and motor, and a LIFETIME (yours, not the trucks) warranty!

Most of the folks in my area that have trucks don’t use them as trucks ;-)

It’s ridiculous how much they want for trucks. Insane.

You’re a plugger if Lincoln was president when you bought your last truck.

Noooo, it’s if the price is more than you paid for your first house.

My current truck (van) cost 50% more than my first house.

My last one is an ‘03 Tundra. In spite of a worthless recall, the frame is rusted so bad the truck will probably kill me, but Toyota won’t help. Keep that in mind if you are buying a truck to last for the rest of your life, like I was.

That discount is twice what I paid for my first house.

12000 is more than I paid for my last 3 vehicles combined!

Mine too, a little more than 10K for my 2008 that I bought last summer

Most people like trucks when they are paid off and have well over 100,000 plus miles and more.

A few years back I paid $4500 for a 2002 Chevy Astro Van which I am still driving. It had 154,000 miles on it when we bought it, and now has 219,600 on it. Still runs good, even though the AC quit a couple years ago. Imam not getting rid of it any time soon as I can put 4X8 sheets of plywood in it and 12 foot long boards up on the dash and across the seats and close the rear doors.

My last truck cost more than my first house.

Exactly my thoughts when I saw a commercial like that one.

Today fully loaded means a whole bunch of electronic stuff a Plugger will never learn to set up and use.
