Hello folks,
This isn’t really isn’t my first post, I was on here as Blackbeauty (I think), if anyone can help me with restoring my account that would be awesome, it’s been nearly a decade since I’ve been on.
Anyway, I got my license in 04, my first car was a Pontiac Bonneville SSE which got totaled when I got t boned. My second car is my 95 black Aurora. I have had this car for 15 years now, and have tons of memories and stories. This car also got me a lot of tickets, I lost my license twice with it. Although I haven’t had a ticket in over ten years now lol. Fast forward, I’m 31. This car has made it through high school, through tech school, through a marriage and an unfortunate divorce... I still own this car. The last time it ran was probably 4 years ago, I have it locked in a storage unit.
Look, I’m a truck guy, I just am. My dad owned a 99 f150 for about 10 years, which he sold to me about 9 years ago. This truck has pulled a bass boat all over the country, tons of memories in it too, tons! This truck has over 300k and I’m sad to say I’m donating it to science. I can’t sell it , I don’t want to see it around, so I’m giving it to a boys school where troubled young boys can fix it up and learn. It’s been extremely trouble free, I just drove it today, but Wisconsin winters have not been nice to it. I have a new 99 f150 near mint taking its place as my winter truck.
I also have a 2012 f150 5.0. This truck is mint, I mean mint. It has not seen salt and is put away for winter until the snow melts. I keep it nice and it’s really used to pull my bass boat. This truck is special in a way to me. It reminds me a lot of my 99 f150, it has the feel I’m familiar with. It also, in a weird way, reminds me of my 95 olds, I know that makes no sense, this is an Aurora forum not a Ford forum, but the 5.0 coyote builds power and has a somewhat similar howl to the L47. When I kick it down I think of my car.
Dad and I are bass fishing partners, we both have our own bass boats. He has a classic Ranger, and I have his old Ranger. I’m doing a major restoration on it this winter, so of course it’s taking up garage space, time and lots of money. Again lots and lots of memories and sentimental value here.
Ok, so now I have my car. I know what my car needs to get up to snuff, and it’s been my intention to restore it and keep it. I’m at the most financially stable part of my life thus far, and I have an insulated garage where I could work on it, but , it would have to wait, probably another year at least. I have it in a storage unit that I pay $50 a month, so whatever, not a huge deal. But I’m torn. I really am at a point where I don’t know if I should keep this car, or give it a good home. IF I ever sold it, it would be to someone who appreciates these cars. I do realize how special these cars are. I also hear all the time from my dad how he wish he had his car from high school. What on earth do I do?
