My grandfauther has two house's, one in Mass and another in Maine, he has always has a 3ed car up in Maine run around in. For years it was a 1984 Mercury station wagon. It had some rot but it ran good and was always taken care of. Well, one day about three years ago he just junked it, he said that it was because the gas tank let go. At the time no one really thought much of it, but it was alittle too nice to junk, I thought.<br /><br />After that my dad gave him a 1989 Dodge 250 power ram. It was a great truck, nothing the matter with it, everything worked. He had it for the last two years. <br /><br />Today is his 75th birthday. We where at his house tonight. When we first walked in he pulled my dad and I aside. He told us "I sent the truck to the bone yard" My dad said "Don't tell me that!" First thing out of my mouth was "what happend to it" he then told us that it would not start in park any more, only in nutral, and thats why he junked it. The guy at the junk yard gave his 600bucks for it.<br /><br />The truck really was nice, everything worked on the thing 
. I have said in the past that I want it when he's done with it, it seems very strange that he'd just junk it with out talking to my dad or I about it first, but he did.<br /><br />I'm in shock, this is the 2ed time he has junked a good car, he dident even take anything off it, it has a tool box, a gun rack, and a custom horn,,,,,,all gone. It was kind of sad <br /><br />Maybe he wants something smaller now that he's getting older,,,but c'mom.
