quick question

Thanks, guys. He's already making me crazy with every Swap Sheet and classified ad he can find. "Look, Dad; it's a '92 and only 6 thousand dollars!" He needs no encouragement! It will be nice when he can pull a second trailer to Ashtabula, though. We'll bring spares for nubies to race.

This was the one post i was waiting for! Don i remember the searching and assorted conversations with the children about their first vehicles. Thank goodness that part is over. Good luck pal!

Bud get a little Ford Range/S-10 with a small trailer and you can pull your own Attex to the events and afford the gas to get there. They are very affordable and very nice looking vehicles. Shiny new rims and tires, and while all the rest are in the gas line you will be cruising with your MIB sunglasses.

As a new driver, you should research the cost of insurance of various trucks, along with fuel economy. You Need insurance, and a truck is no good if you have to get your "buddies" to chip in for gas when you want to go out.
Personally, I'd take something that has some dents/dings with relatively low miles vs something that looks pretty, but is going to need a lot of mechanical repairs within a couple of years.

I would talk your father into buying a nice new dually,diesel, long bed and just give you his truck. It's a win, win for everyone.
