    A direction I need go

    I can see scrapping is not a passing faze for me . Problem is it's defining me also year after year
    all I have are crap looking trucks . It's artful that I can pick trucks for $500 or $150 and off I go . But there are draw backs,
    one in particular is how far will I risk driving from home base . In truth you gotta take an old truck with a grain of salt
    & have to carefully decide how much your budget is to fix .
    I really like my $150 Ranger good MPG and I scrap with it I will not get rid of that .
    But my Dodge might be on the chopping block - first what is nice ( sarcastic ) is a vice grip for the trans shifter
    the gas MPG, the look, the brakes, non 4 X 4 working a driver door that does not work Yet what a great old truck .
    it will never let you down -- NEVER !!
    I have an opportunity to get a clean like new Toyota Tacoma 2008 4 door $300 per month for 4 years . I could really go out many miles from home I want a nice truck & for some reason beyond all logic I want this pickup . It's towing capacity is 6500 and
    I want to capitalize on that , I know some one who is selling a trailer, The Tacoma has a trailer package also .
    A nice truck and scrapping off the trailer has always been in the back of my mind ( you know what I mean rite ? the truck gets no scrap except some copper brass .. but the trailer is where all the action is )
    Further more, Once and for all I need a dependable auto to drive out far from
    home base . My current trucks can make it , but for sure the Cops 100 or 200 miles from home will not over look me as the local police who are used to me . Any way , am I lost or do you think I can make a go of it .
    Why the Tacoma ?????? I just want it for me , just for me .
    My Girls get $800 dresses - X boxes , the games , Phones . When do I get NICE !!
    A plus is I can start selling off my computer stuff as I could drive the 200 mile trips to sell to particular yards
    I just wont chance it now cause my current trucks have no inspection and need $$$$$ to deal with that
    a ticket from police 200 miles from home will kill off profits fast .
    I could also take on the small paint jobs & handy man projects as I find my current trucks you just can't use for job estimates
    No way those trucks can pull up to a home and say Howdy

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
