Don't tempt me. I've got your post bookmarked in the archives. :-)
Actually, I don't really know what I'm going to do. I probably shouldn't even
be talking about it, all it does is causes more confusion than anything. Some
days I want to keep driving my truck until it turns to dust, some days I'd
like to have a shiny new truck, and some days I just get frustrated over how
much money I spend on gas and figure I should get a Metro as penance for my
gas guzzling ways. My opinion changes daily on the subject.
You know me... Captain Indecision.
Actually, one of the driving factors is that I can't really afford two vehicle
payments at the same time. If I buy myself a vehicle, that means Norah is
going to be locked in to the 2001 for another five years. I need to ensure we
always have a truck in good repair that's capable of towing the RV. If I wait
three years to replace the '95, that means it'll be 2014 before we can replace
the 2001. I don't know what kind of condition it's going to be in when it's
13 years old, that concerns me a bit. This is kind of why I figure maybe it
would be better for me to drive cheap junk to work so I can afford to keep the
tow vehicle nice. The other option is to replace the '95 with a new(ish)
Dakota or Ram to take over the RV towing duties, but that means I'd be using
an awful lot of gas commuting to work.
Who knows. I've got a long time to worry about it.
