I am getting a free Explorer. :)

My Grandpa wants to get rid of his 91 Explorer. So he called me up last night and will just give it to me next month! Which rocks. It means I don't have to find another DD vehicle and its free!!! I guess now that my grandma is gone he doesn't need the extra vehicle anymore and will just drive the Town Car. I am pretty happy.

Ryan's spoiled... heh heh heh....

 

[rpenner54]

Uh huh.... I won't even touch that one Matt.

Congratulations. Keep the vehicle well, you have your grandmother to thank. Hell, i'd put a personal plate that says "GRANDMA" on the vehicle to remind me.

That's exactly what I said.. "geez Ryan how spoiled ARE you?" He wrecks his car and gets a cooler one! LOL

Yeah I don't know if I could do that. It might be hard enough driving it from time to time. She and I were really close. She taught me all I know about gardening. LOL I know silly but its what she and I did.

Anyways this will be my first vehicle thats nice that someone else gives me! Which is cool. I guess my dad did give me an 86 B2200 to use for a while. But it became pretty White Trash to drive that around after a while. (No offense if you want to be that way)

However this one will stay 100% stock suspension wise. Heck I will even wear out the 215 tires that are on it! LOL I don't plan on modifying another vehicle just because that would not be smart. More money down the tube. So this one will only get whats needed at regular checkups.

No mods?? Not even new plugs, filter???
You may not do the lift and all that, but I'd bet some bucks, you'll be doing some mods later. Anyways, congrats.

 

[rpenner54]

No mods that will not improve its ability on the street. Because thats where this one will stay. LOL

No. It's not silly. I think that's what's lacking in today's nuclear families....the closeness. I don't think i know many people who do stuff with their parents even!
You had a rare and special relationship with her, so count yourself lucky.....AND BE PROUD!

Yeah I am close to everyone in my family. Its weird being out here in the real world where you can see just like you say people not really even talking to their parents. Or parents who don't really care about their kids. Its still a shock sometimes to hear about that sort of stuff.
