Why did you have to return the Dmax?

It was a corporate vehicle. It was used to capture data. The period of use ended.

My brother-in law does that as well but different car company, in his case Fords.

How I came by my 1997 7.3 4x4. He had it for data acquisition (he worked at SVO Dearborn at the time and SVO not only had the truck, they modified it and ran the mods in real time. When it came time for truck to get turned is, I snapped it up (with a little insider information). I had to buy it from a local dealer and it's been a great truck for over 20 years and still going strong and looking sharp.

There are advantages to living in the Wolverine and having family in the auto business. Not all the test horses get shredded. Some do but most don't and being at the right place and time is wonderful.

If I was to buy another, I'd do the same if I could. Ne's no longer at SVO. He's in corporate assigned to transmission development now.

You've definitely got yourself a gem with that truck! :)

Now we should all go out and get our wives a suspension upgrade. AKA push-up bra. :D

A most excellent thread! I will smile the rest of the day. Thanks!

My BIL has a Lincoln MKZ right now. Not my kind of vehicle. I think he keeps them 12 months.

China is Saginaw isn't it?

MFL - I am fine with the mess! Adds some humor (and importance of grammar) to the summer days. Besides, I am really missing the truck. I have turned in many vehicles, and this is the one that I will miss the most.

I am not one to do spelling and grammar corrections, but this one, it appears, that you leased your wife out, in order to get a new truck. :) Just a little mix up, of the subject, and object of the preposition. No harm, no foul, I make mistakes too! :)

My apology to the OP! Sorry I messed with your post! I hope you and your wife enjoy the new truck, for the next three years. Sounds like a lucky person will likely enjoy the one turned in.

Ya know... if I were going to lease out my wife for a new truck, I would hold out for a diesel... she's way more valuable than a gasser! :)

Don't even think about it. A good wife holds her value much longer than any vehicle ever would. A lifetime commitment!

But what if the wife is a gasser?
