In about 1991 I read a report saying the most popular vehicle driven by millionaires was a 1/2 ton pickup. So I bought a new 1991 Ford PU. It was slightly hail damaged but it was a good deal. In 1999 the Ford had well over a 100,000 miles on it and since I was still seeking the million I purchased a 1999 Chevrolet 1/2 ton PU. Admittedly the truck had been totaled by the dealership owner son, but once again it was a good deal. The Chevy now has 180,000 on it and I am still seeking the million. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Am I buying the wrong brand, do I need to buy a "virgin" pickup instead of hail damaged or wrecked? I am now in my mid 60's and am running out of time to make this happen. This next purchase is getting pretty close to being the last. Any help would be appreciated.
 
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Get in the Pickup, drive to the nearest 7-Eleven, and buy a lottery ticket!

I knew a guy who's dad was a millionaire. He drove an old beat up truck and looked like Willie Nelson, pony tail and all. I met him at their 800 acre ranch in Texas. When He pulled up I asked my buddy if this guy was a ranch hand, "Nope, that's my Dad."
