stop shitting up my thread! :-)

While an ambulance would be really cool, I've already gone the route of the 20-year old $2k truck and I'm really hoping to get something relatively nice. I'd rather spring the extra $5-10k to get something made this decade with more amenities. It will probably serve as a DD for a little while as well, so I need to keep that in mind.
Don't get me wrong it's a good idea, but I already tried it and find myself wanting more. I also don't see that being capable of pulling 2 cars and a trailer without some big upgrades.

And eBay is skewed a bit high on market value, too.

Its just basic maths :dunno:

:finger: I love it. And its nicer than a busted ass 20 year old ambulance.
your truck is passable but not 'nice' by any stretch of the imagination, and certainly not in comparison to a current generation new truck. Yours was used and cost $10k.

can you compute the difference between that and a blingy Titan with a big payment that has gone only 8,000 miles in a year and a half? thats my point, dont get all butthurt because you love your truck.

I dont regret getting it for a second but I wouldnt say that its the smartest route and for most people getting a cheaper truck is smarter if its not a DD.

Can you compute the difference between a "passable" '01 F150 and a busted ass 20 year old ambulance?

That was the point I made. I made no mention of your pretty little jap truck Wink

I never said my shit was uber blingy nice either... I just said I wouldnt want anything lesser, and that I'm happy with it.

Follow the bouncing ball....

I'm confused by this. I was saying I've done the cheap route, but this time I'll spend the extra dough to get the nicer, more powerful, newer truck. I'm sure I can find a '00-'03 for ~$10k once I am in a position to have cash in hand and can actively look for deals. Right now, I'm researching to determine what I need to be looking for, as I'd love to be looking for the new truck by the end of summer. (<-- don't quote that).

- .RJ - 06-28-2007

I was just hating on Derek continuing to shit up your thread, thats all. Pay no attention, move right along Wink

- HAULN-SS - 06-29-2007

Yeah, I pretty well was going from the first thread, and assumed "this decade" meant this current decade we are in, not "the last ten years"

:roll: that was an extreme example and I was half joking. Im just making the point that a new truck (like a tundra which i think has been ruled out anyway) or even a newer deisel is probably a waste if its only a work vehicle. Your truck would not be a waste because its not nice. now go sit in your truck and cry you mulleted redneck Wink (the flowmasters will make you feel better!)
