I am reading it like this

new car and new (old) truck is option 1

or old (newer) truck and fast(er) bike is option 2

 

I think that if you have the money to do it get the truck and the car. With the car you'll have something to cruise and have fun with during the warmer months and if the weather gets bad or when winter comes around you got the truck to get around in and you won't have much if any problems getting around in the snow. If you don't have the cash get the car and use ne spare change for some mods and just be careful in the winter months.

 

Bike is already fast nice built motor in her! I was gonna rake the front end 5 degrees with 4 over tubes and fat tire kit the *** end and finish her off with new paint.

 

I was actually thinking along that line if i do it. The car would spend alot of time in the garage and the 84 pickup would be my daily driver. I drive an 18 wheeler for a living and my truck sits in a field basically for weeks at a time. Thats how it got messed up in a tornado.
If i get the car, she will be safe n warm at home and if the 84 got hurt...who cares its an old truck.
I can afford to buy the new car and have cash for the old truck.
But i go back to 6 years of paying for the car with a slightly less payment than what i have on my truck right now. Im hearing more YAYS than Neighs so far...i just ran my ol lady down to the store and my dash started rattling and squeaking. Its driving me nuts! I think im gonna call the guy with the 84 tomorrow and see if he still has it.

 

how about a challenger that's a couple years used? keep your payments to three years, and you wont take that nasty depreciation hit.

 

Where i live there arent ANY used challengers around. To add to that, im FAR to picky to take ANY old car. In all the dealer units on the lots ive NEVER found 1 id take...it HAS to be a custom order if i take this car...its my DREAM ride and it HAS to be right.

 

You shopping at Corwin Churchill? I swung through their lot around xmas time and they didn't have a whole lot then. The wife fell in love with a minivan they had--2010 Chrysler T&C W.P. Chrysler Executive Series. I have been making so much fun--she swore she'd never even consider a minivan.

 

leave it to the architects and engineers, they're always good for taking your money and leaving you high and dry. and city/county laws are always great, as time goes by they get stricter and stricter and so much more unnecessary. (im a GC over here outside DC)

as for an old truck, older cars are always easier to work on than all this new technology, and with a truck you wont even have to lift her up

 

Get the old truck, sell your newer one yourself, finish the bike the way you want and then start a Challenger jar. In a couple years, the jar and used car values will come close enough to make it an easy jump.

Darn, it's always easy being logical with someone elses money. Now if I could just do that with my own. I keep looking at the new Rams, but then remind myself that mine will be paid off in a year.
