Cost of getting a good truck?

[JeepMan]

Over the weekend I was thinking for this poster or other people thinking about a duece. What about a Dodge M-37 truck?? It's 3/4 ton, 4X4, about as bad fuel mileage, you can go around topless with the windshield down which is mega cool. You can get a winch model, you'll get experiance with a 24 volt electrical system, be able to park it anywhere in town, (parking garages) etc. etc.

I have not had time to read all the advise here, but I have some anyway:

DON'T DO IT

I know most of you won't agree, but from what I read from Luke, a hobby is something you don't want to get real involved in right now. I didn't finish college and now I make a decent living, but I have to work like a dog in the heat (or cold). I would suggest you put college first in your life (unless your a God fearing person, then you know what goes first) and spent a little time hanging out with people that can afford these toys. I looked for anything to do when I supposed to study. My point is, money should not be your main concern right now. It's time. You can eat up a lot of time with these things, and that time would be best spent finishing college, getting a career, making real money and buying a tank. Wait a minute, that's my dream, you stick with the deuce.

that is good advice, i know when i was looking for a deuce to buy and after i bought one and even to this day, it's all i can think about,it's all consuming,it might be a big distraction for you. then again if you had one parked out in the back yard ( for future use) you could go sit in it and make motor noises, LOL, and study your homework!!

RAYZER, If you had one sitting in your back yard, could you really only sit in it and study [and make motor noises], or would you yield to temptation and ?
