drive it til it falls apart
Thats pretty much my plan. The truck isnt worth anything, so why get rid of it.
toyota are nice but expensive i couldnt touch one in the mid to late 90 for less than 5000 and them were in rough shape nice one was like 8000
Yeah, thats true. You get what you pay for though. Its kinda like with sleds. Sure, you could spend less with buying something other than a Yamaha, but would you really want to? IMO, Toyotas and Yamahas are worth whatever extra they cost because they are just plain better.
I hear ya about the gas prices too, but there isnt much you can do about it. The only real benefit that most of us have is that in the winter when the gas prices are down because of lower demand, thats when we do most of our traveling.
I'll tell you what though, if gas is still over $3 a gallon this winter, I will be doing a lot more riding at home in southern Wisconsin instead of in the Minocqua area.
I normally go up to Minocqua 2-3 times each summer to get firewood from my parents' land, but lately Ive begun looking for firewood closer to home. My brother and I spent about 10 hours cutting firewood yesterday. We cut the trees down, cut them up and hauled them away for this guy and we got to keep the wood for free. Good deal. He got his trees removed for free and we got 2 truckloads of wood that will help keep our heat bills down this winter. Plus, I didnt have to spend $180 driving up to Minocqua and back and I didnt have to rack up an extra 500 miles on my truck.
I'll tell you one thing though. As much as I enjoy playing lumberjack for the day and being able to play with the chainsaws, Im pretty sore today and I think today is going to be a pretty lazy day for me. Im going to watch the NASCAR race (GO TOYOTA!!!) and then I think Im going to take a nap.
