My wife works in a bank and worked with a young guy trying to help him qualify for a vehicle loan. This guy just HAD to have a huge Dodge full size, extend cab, 4x4 with the biggest engine they make. Couldn't live without it. Needed it "for work".
His grandparents helped him get enough money down to get the loan, he found the truck he "needed" and he was on cloud nine. That was only about four months ago.
My wife said that the "big truck guy" was back in and talking to her about how he wan'ts to sell the truck now and get a car that he can afford to drive. LOL
My car's pretty good on gas mileage, but if I had the money, I'd sell my car and buy a small to mid size truck and a motorcycle. A truck is handy to have around, but a motorcycle gets excellent gas mileage. It would be having my cake and eating it too. Unfortunately, I don't even own my car yet!
