Sell this truck and buy PMs or keep this truck?

[chad]

just got my wife a new vehicle (used, new to her), and as such, i have a ford ranger i no longer need. was in a severe crash last year and the insurance company didn't total it, so almost everything in the engine department is new (radiator, trans cooler, alternator, etc.). i redid the tire rods and bearings last year. pretty new tires. great body, looks almost new...but it is a 2000 with 161,000 miles.

i could probably sell it around here for $3,500.

so, sell it and buy silver with the proceeds, or keep it because it doesn't have spy technology in it? i certainly don't need it, and it will cost me $400 a year in insurance to keep it. torn.

I regret selling a 92 Ranger Super Cab. It was bullet proof. Does yours have the 4.0 V6?

[Dogman]

Depends on how much you like your truck.

I have had two trucks that I owned that I drove over 12 years, one for over 16 years. Both had high mileage and solid running gear but!

As they aged they started sorta falling apart electrical and the interior because of aging plastic/seals and stuff. Both had abs sensors along with other system stuff that started to fail.

Started nickle and dime stuff that were not so little in cost.

I almost beleve now and not sure when it started that the electrical systems and for dam sure the interior trim and dash are programed to start cracking or start falling apart after a certain amount of time.

Will you be able to find as cheap of vehicle once your kids start driving?

[crimethink]

Answer your own question with this.

i redid the tire rods

Are tire rods as hard to find as muffler bearings?


i certainly don't need it, and it will cost me $400 a year in insurance to keep it.

Since I'm not actually required to have a DRIVER LICENSE (I'm not operating a business on public property, i.e. 'for hire' in 'transportation' and never have any intention of doing so) I'm unable to get (limited) 'liability' insurance*. Isn't that a shame?

I've never had any problem finding muffler bearings, they are pretty universal nowadays.
Finding a specialist to replace them can be a chore.

tie rods, sorry, but you homos know what i was talking about. yeah, 4.0 v6, xlt package. runs perfect, and no spyware so hmmmmm.

[Cebu_4_2]

Off the truck since you don't use it. I had an old truck I let sit a couple years, when I decided to sell it realized that it had rotted underneath. Unusable, end up giving it away. Would have much rather swapped it for PM's before it rotted.

Your gambling fees are a mere 33US$/month to have a standby automobile.

[palani]

Buy a box of mothballs and $2 worth of Wallyworld mouse traps. Park the truck on some boards to keep the tires from rotting and put it in storage. Drop the registration and the insurance.

You buy all that silver and you are going to need a truck to haul it all down the highway someday.

if it was diesel i'd say keep it.

backup transpo is always good.

right now $3500 will buy a lot of silver.

of course, Amazon has frog legs on sale, 8 pairs for $44 -

With the silver that you buy today you will be able to buy a brand new one tomorrow, and have extra cash.

[chad]

eh, rambler is right $33 a month in gambling money isn't much to keep an extra vehicle around. i will drive it, not let it sit.

Another GSUS Happy Ending!

-200 t.oz of silver!

[osoab]

-200 t.oz of silver!

that would only amount to chad's walking around stash anyway.

[govcheetos]

Good to have a spare truck around.

[Cebu_4_2]

Sell that and get spare for cheap! Craigslist crap for pennies that runs. Emergency vehicle only, why not have a backup? Spend the rest in PM's and use that for repairs if needed.

[hoarder]

That Ranger will seem like an expensive truck when silver tops $50 again.

[Spectrism]

That Ranger will seem like an expensive truck when silver tops $50 again.

Or... that silver pile will seem mighty small when silver is $8 again.

I hear that homos like rods. Is this why you are asking rod advice from this group?

[Neuro]

Perhaps, but if that were to happen his truck could only be sold for $1500, and physical silver could only be bought for $16 if it could be found at all... Just remembering how it was at the end of 2008!

You sure think a lot about what homos like... (:;)

Homos are people too. In Oboingo's changed world, we must really be homo-happy and homo-safe so that homos can feel accepted in doing whatever they want with their hot rods. If they have tired rods or bare mufflers, you are not supposed to hold that against them.

That's good 'cause we will NOT tolerate ANY intolerance!

homo is one of my favorite words. i also like retard, fag, queer, etc. society is too touchy, those are great words.

It is a pretty good word, and I don't think it's derogatory either. You are just pointing out their sexual preference, which they seem to enjoy flaunting anyway.

My view point is I'm fine with homos, and think they have the right to do what they want. In fact they do us men a favor. Instead of a normal guy meeting a woman, that's one man and one woman off the market. Two guys get together....that's two guys off the market, and zero women off the market. Think about the math, lot's of single women out to choose from with all the gayness around.

Gayness. Now there's a great word that just happens to rhyme with anus. In a sentence- "His anus liked gayness."

I wish everything was as black and white as the picture you paint.

The facts are, queers have the highest rate of HIV and STD's and not all of these males are strictly exclusive with other males. I think many of these degenerates are screwing anything they can get...they are disease carriers/spreaders!

I think there is a class of women that like to hang out with homosexual males because they aren't constantly trying to screw them, but end up screwing them anyway.

Note* (I don't call homosexuals men, because ejaculating into another man's rectum is not something a man does!)

I wouldn't be so vocal on about them if they would keep their degenerate lifestyles to themselves and in private.
