Wish I'd listened to my mechanic who kept telling me I should oil my truck (but of course it was probably too late by the time he started bugging me).

Bought a 2003 Ram 2500 new... I drove it sparingly because it got 13mpg and was a beast to park. Mostly needed it to pull boats, horses and to plow my driveway... I was constantly fighting things rusting out underneath. Brake lines, e break cables, oil pans, shocks, multiple brake jobs... Then it needed new exhaust from the manifolds on back. Nobody would even give me a firm price on it because the manifold bolts were barely there, but is was going to be multiple thousands even in the best case.

I gave up and traded it in with 26k miles on it (not for another Dodge you can bet........). I couldn't bring myself to honestly sell it myself.

Good thing my boat lives at a marina now.
