Well after trying to sell the car and getting no interest, except for one guy who drove it and then I never heard back from, I'm going to be trading in my SRT4. It was a short lived love, but I must move on. As I've stated before, my reason for getting rid of it is to save up money for a house-I've gotten a new job that pays much better and could've kept the car, but it still makes sense to reduce my overall debt as much as I can. I was able to work out an awesome deal on my trade to where the dealership really isn't making money on either end-I had a friend who works there verify this for me, which actually helped a lot in the negotiating. My new vehicle is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4, 4.7 V8. I know this thing is a gas whore but my work is only 5 miles from my house so I won't be driving much. Secondly, I'll need 4x4 for the winters and I plan on getting a small plow for it to help my parents out, along with myself. The truck made sense because we plan on buying land in Maine also and building a "camp"-just a small house with no water/electricity/etc. and I'll need the truck to haul wood and other shit in and out of the land. Lastly, I'm paying $250 less per month for the truck overall-payment and insurance- and my payoff is only $9995 I'll obviously still stick around and I will DEFINITELY be missing my car. I really love the stupid thing and its the funnest car I've owned,I'll definitely buy another one someday and put a big turbo on it. Well I'm off to work and will see you guys tonight.
hey glad to hear you got a good deal. good luck on all that man. somethimes you gotta put your life first. then once thats taken care of buy cars like crazy

WTF You crazy!
Stay at home with your parents and blow your money on the car and women.
How's the house going to get you noticed? Keep the car Fuck the house.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys! Azure-broken already answered for me, the truck isn't a Ford I'll be saving face along with money. Seriously though, yeah the truck is going to suck down gas, but not as bad as a HEMI would and its not of huge concern-I'm saving about $250 a month alone with the reduction in insurance premiums and the reduction of debt(amount financed on the truck). On top of that, I was spending close to $300 a month in gas with the SRT4 although I was on the road all the time, now I'm only traveling a few miles back and forth to work. A tank of gas will last me about 2 weeks now, so the mileage isn't a big factor. The truck will work out better as its practical for what we have planned. I need something with a truck bed to help with moving this spring, hauling wood that I'm clearing off the land, getting to the land (4x4), along with having 4 doors so I can still take my girlfriend and 140/150lb dog in comfort. Plus I don't have to buy snow tires to get traction in the winter. I'm really excited to pick it up as I've always wanted a Dodge Ram, its always been my favorite truck. The only one my family has owned was a 97 Sport short bed regular cab, and I loved it. It made my 92 Bronco feel like a piece of shit, along with my last truck a 94 F150. I can't wait and I'll take pictures to show you, the only one I have is on my phone and I doubt its that good.
smart move bike...that ***** bimmer driver was actually correct in saying a house is a much better investment....suprising cuz a house doesn't come w/ heated seats...i'm wodnering what he'd do w/o those
