    Well I've come to the realization I won't be getting a new car I'll just hopefully sell the van and I'll just take $1,000 from that get my truck fixed and that'll be that. My buddy will continue to drive the white SUV he's had kind of a hard run in life so I was kind of helping him out.

    Lol my newest vehicle is a 1990 Honda Civic with dang near 200k on the clock. Paid $500 dollars for it a year ago. Gets oil changes and that is about it. Run her until she drops.

    Oldest one is a 1987 Toyota 4Runner with about the same mileage. Paid $1500 for it 3 years ago.

    Almost bought a Ford Crown Vic today for $200. If I had a garage to work in I would have gotten it. Minor mechanical stuff and a little body work.

    Well here we go again folks, today my Astro van took a crap horray! So I am forced to get that fixed and also forced to get my F-150 fixed so looks like I'll be hanging on to my F-150 and hopefully I can sell my Astro van also going to drop the price on my Suburban and try to sell that off as well as quick as possible Kelly Blue Book on it is $5800 so I'll probably ask $5500 and see what I get.

    Get rid of both of those. Trying to save money, saw a nice house I want to buy, for $225,000 however I wouldn't pay that much for it, however I want to have a little bit more nest egg to sit on after the down payment is done.

    Depends on what engine you have. That big honkin' (460?????) w/4bbl carb is a terrible gas hog. The smaller V8 isn't quite so bad. But unless you do a lot of hauling or towing, I'd try to find a 6. You'll be surprised at both mileage and performance.

    What's wrong with the Ford? I was going to offer the $2800 for it if you would deliver. Lol. I need a good hunting rig. Don't wanna dump my 3/4 ton diesel off in the woods.

    Actually vans are "hot" right now.
    Try making the title of the ad something about "Van Life"
    It's a new trend with the hipsters. Buying a van and living in it so they don't have to pay utilities.
    Look up VanLife or #VanLife on Facebook.

    I honestly don't understand my own generation, it's like every trend that catches on anymore is just a regurgitated fad from the baby boomers lol
