Need positive thinking! *** Got her home! ***

Probably not an appropriate thread here, but I need you guys to send good wishes my way. Off to pick up my first CUCV/M1009, also my first .mil vehicle ever in about 3 hours. I don't have what he is asking, so send your brain waves to the cosmos in favor of me talking him down a bit. It is an incredibly clean '86 with around 24k original miles. Lived in Arizona on-base most of its life so should be rust free. Will post pics if I bring her home.

Send the collective positivity!

Hester looks like a cool dude! Does the truck have a name?

I stick to calling all vehicles and machinery by female names. In this case, I named the truck "Hester", after Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester, who iirc is the only woman ever awarded the Silver Star for valor in (actual) combat.

Great looking CUCV. A few more pics would be nice...
