What did you buy this week?

[WM75Guy]

The only time i ordered a truck other than white was a black F250.

What a mistake. Never looked clean.

Since then, every rig has been white. They always look clean. Always. Even on my dirt roads.

I agree. Plus they are cooler in the Texas heat. And 1 paint pen covers all three.

So, $1100 for tires on my 2006 Dodge 3500 farm truck last week, and the turbo took a dump yesterday. $1500 later, parts are ordered and on the way.

And just to make sure I don’t get bored, I need to do some front end work on it too. All for a truck that sees less than 5000 miles per year.

My justification for dumping money into it is that I’m not paying a note on a truck that costs twice what my first house did like some.

Not any scientific evidence to prove my theory besides a few family members car deer incidents but it sure seems to me white colored vehicles are deer magnets, not to mention only deer I ever hit was with my late mother's white car. Besides I just don't like white colored cars, never did.

Bought a small riding mower for the tight spots in the yard to go with my big zero-turn:

Close to $1000 for wheels to mount my snow tires on in a month or so, that will be another $1300 or so.

Then my Retrax bed cover went on yesterday. Still have to install the drain tubes.

I try to avoid buying White trucks, drove so many work trucks that were white that I prefer colors. The past few have been Granite Gray and Patriot Blue.

Ordered a Stainless Works true dual exhaust for my F250. I went with the Legend series, because I will be driving the truck for extended hours towing a trailer. If I was mostly driving around town, I would've gone with the red line. Also, I considered the headers. But man, those things are expensive!

That thing is SWEET! Is it restored or original condition?

I keep my old 185 around for the same reason (and also because of sentimental attachment....). The 38" deck is really handy for tight spots.

The owner bought since new and did regular maintenance. No restoration just kept up with. I had to go out 2 1/2 hours to get it.
