Glad to see the recovery went so well. I picked on up on Friday for another member and the CTIS wasn't working, oh well. They are an ok truck, just not at the top of my list anymore after driving that one. She moved on down the road today to her new home in OH, so if you ever need another one picked up let me know. I'll gladly go to McCoy any day and drag one home.

Nice truck, the first one I ever bid on was a 432 mile with winch A3 at McCoy. It still had plastic on the seats and went for solid money. I went all the way to 8K before I quit. They seem to have a lot of decent running trucks up there.

That is a nice looking truck. Never knew how anybody could call the A3 an ugly truck.

In some respects, I guess that could be said about all of them, but I think they're all beautiful.

Congrats on the recovery!
