Since he is planning on going on a mission in the next couple of months, it didn&#8217;t make sense to spend all that money when he is going to have to sell it before going. So, he decided to sell it for $1,700.&nbsp; I&#8217;m proud of him, taking pictures of it, getting it listed and coordinating with the people that were interested in it.&nbsp; The first guy to physically look at it bought it. He didn&#8217;t haggle or anything and paid cash. So it got loaded on a trailer and hauled off. While I&#8217;m proud of him, I&#8217;m also a bit sad because I know how it is to have to get rid of your first vehicle.&nbsp; In my case, I always replace my old car with a new one while he will be without wheels for a bit.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talon&#8217;s truck started having transmission issues on Satuday of last week.
