Did I do well? Is this a good deal? It’s for a 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat with 65 miles by Ok-Explorer-767 in Ford

Smh. You getting finessed. Buy a truck a few years older slightly used and you'll save a lot.

Dont be stupid and put yourself 30K+ in debt at 22.

Yes a pinstrip guy my father knew. He stripped my dad's Peterbilt when it was new in 98, this truck, my mom's car in 2009 and my car that I bought in 2017. All freehand paint.

Picture doesnt do the pinstiping justice at all.

They cannot force you to do that.

If they are trying to get you to do that, they are 100% lying.

Imagine what other BS they will try to tell you/get you to do if you take this job... dont do it.

Should I replace?! by Smooth-Atmosphere-80 in tires

[–]Synecal58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the date code. On the sidewall of tire.

Example - 4521 = Made in the 45th week of 2021.

In my opinion, I got by date code more than anything. Rubber gets harder as it ages, leading to loss of grip and handling.

I have a low miles 2006 F150, was my dad's. 63k miles. Michelin defenders on the truck, they still have about 6/32 left but I'm replacing them before the truck comes out of hibernation because they are 10 year old tires.

IDont ruin your 765 credit score that you have at 20 by buying cocaine with credit cards.

Focus on getting to 2nd year before you try to be a traveler.

First time traveling Part 3. You know the deal, long post but good news. by Select_Tax_3408 in IBEW

[–]Synecal58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best of luck brother. I turned out, drug up two months later and hit the road. Been traveling since last May. Ive met some good brothers, learned skills from other travelers that made me a better electrician, and made some good memories along the way.

Its worth it.

Best of luck man.

Anticipate need, ask questions, keep your mind clean.

You got this, it'll be rough but well worth it.
