Ford Fever

My baby {Jacob} has Ford Fever. He is officially 15 1/2 now and he is so ready to find an old Ford truck to call his own. This is a picture of a Ford that he spotted Saturday while we were on Route 66 in Vinita. He has a few requirements. It needs to be a 4 wheel drive. It has to be the right price, cheap, and perferably it will be a Ford. He gets that Ford thing from his father. I like them too, but I am not quite as fanatical as Kim. He would be willing to settle for a Dodge or maybe a Jeep International.


Everywhere we go, every thing we do, and everything he says revolves around the truck and the arrangements to buy the truck. His plan is to sell his four wheeler and use the money from it to buy the truck, so he won't be spending much money on it to start with, but then he will work this summer mowing yards and make enough money to fix it up. He does not want a pretty truck. He wants a rugged rough truck that he can take off road mudding, fishing, and just go where he wants without worrying about how good his truck looks. So if you know of such a truck, you know where to find us! Please rescue us from Ford Fever!

I understand the Ford thing. That's the ONLY kind of truck my dad has ever owned!

i have a child with truck fever too!!! she, however, doesn't have anything to sell to give her money towards a truck and needs to start working a job to earn money for her future truck or car. i keep telling her that she doesn't "need" a car right away. a car for her would really be a luxury, not a necessity at this point. i think i might miss being a mom taxi. love all the conversations i get to have in the car with her.

Kita still has truck fever. Of course her's is with her old Chevy. She still has her old 1986 red. It is really starting to show it's age.....
She also wants our old yellow GMC because it was her grandpa's....
