I can't.....I.......I think i need professional help!

[73737373]

I'll use a little warped rationale here.....a drunk may claim he's a drunk because "the reason I drink is because there's a bar on the corner." The reason I buy pickup trucks is because of Craig'slist!!!"

[dazza]

real smart 73737373... mentioning our suppliers name here in public! if they take down our dealer, then what, we start going to TA meetings!! noooo thank-you!

[dazza]

and you had better start watching your back, the truck cartel is EVERYWHERE!

[muckyp]

I quit quitting!

[57taskforce]

Damn you guys make me laugh. Glad I'm not the only one with truck issues in my life. The Tuesday night meeting sounds like a good idea to me haha!

[flashed]

mine started back in the 80s when they were still cheap-now over 200 trucks later they aint cheap no more, just like drugs. i only have 4 right now, try my best to stay off craigslist except on tuesdays so i'll have to skip those meetings, i guess. maybe some person will show up at the meeting with a truck to sell

So buy an El Camino already

I just tell people I am landscaping with old trucks, between me and my kids, we have 5 square body pickups,1 square body suburban, 1 '70 gmc pickup,1 72 chevy pickup, 5 jeeps,1 rock crawler, 1 suzuki lj20,1 mustang,1 chevy dump truck,6 toyota pickups,most of these run though....and I have plans for the ones that don't

[JPsChevy]

My names Justin....and I have a problem. Trucks are an addiction but atleast the value is usually there on resale. And yes usually Craig and his List are at fault, I try and tell myself I gotta save up for a big shop that seems to help.....

[Voodoo556]

Lol, too funny......our luck some smart dude would figure out he could take advantage of all of us and slip into these Tuesday night meet ups undercover as a fellow junkie and smooze one or more of into buying another truck!!!

My grandpa was a professional......metal farmer, amongst other things. When I was a snot nosed kid we would walk around his ranch and I'd ask about a particular truck, car or one of the 37 tractors parked out yonder......"hey granpa, does this one run?" To which he would always reply "oh yeah, it'll run" which was followed by either the long or short list of requirements to allow said vehicle to actually run.

I think one thing may be different from other common addictions... no two are the same, and just being around one you've never seen before sometimes feels just like the first time you tried it!

well for those of us that might be close...... hook a brotha up YO!


no really, for me, it helps that I'm already using my neighbors land to park a truck. No more room. lol

Man that is pretty freaking clean. You can always quit tomorrow...

[30 a truck]

Thankfully I have a supportive wife. We were riding down the rode the other day, she said look at that truck. It was a 69-70 stepper. I stopped & looked. She bugged the crap out of me for days, are you going to buy it, are you going to buy it. It was too much or I would have. Now she blames me for letting one get away.

I will bring her to the Tuesday meetings also.

[68 CRACKERBOX]

looks like there is no hope for us to get cured, now someone starts a new thread of craigslist finds. thats like putting crack on a table in front of a addict and telling them don't smoke it. W.T.F.

[dazza]

The first(and maybe only) step of the 12 step program...

Step 1

[Voodoo556]

While I surely can appreciate a really nice, restored, clean, badazz truck, whats really funny to me is the rush or surge of excitement when you come across a rippin' deal on a fixer upper/builder truck for cheap. Cheap to me is 1500-4000 depending on the truck of course.
My girlfriend is getting numb to my "oh sh*t, look at this one....".

I have a very supportive wife also. On the previously mentioned 6 truck "bender" , she stood at the edge of a very packed driveway , and calmly stated " that's the way it's supposed to look".... couldn't play like this without her support!

[Dustmaker65]

I am thinking Tuesday night meetings for all of you junkies is a great idea!

Gives me one day out of the week that I might be the first one to the "next" truck
