    The movie Gone In Sixty Seconds was like that too, remember they stole a crashed Dodge Challenger and took the engine, transmission, and data plates then went and stole another one that was the same color and transferred everything over. It was kinda sad when they crushed it after all that but they also destroyed plenty of nice old cars.

    As you know, I am still good friends with my former boss from Puck; I was over at her house today to hang out (and help her wrap Christmas presents, which is something she admits she is horrible at). I told her about this woman's offer, and she said I should live with my parents as long as I possibly can so I can save up to buy a house.

    There are several vehicles I dream of owning, but I'm happy with my old 108K+ miles Taco for now...

    I would love to see the world, but my parents are planning a trip to Europe and would bring me along (as in pay for my plane ticket), so I'm good there...

    I want a house! A single-family house, preferably a rancher, with at least three bedrooms and central air!

    That was why I mentioned sticking around the parents house for a bit longer too, you can save up a few more bucks for a house of your own.

    I still wish I could get a house with a full kitchen and central air for the price of a used Escalade...

    Unless I hit the lottery, that's not realistic...

    Paying cash for my next truck is VERY realistic, but not my first house!

    Not having a vehicle payment is a nice feeling too.

    Yeah, I wouldn't buy a 2 wheel drive truck unless I was building some sort of old hotrod.

    I've got at least three years to decide, and I live in an area where it either snows or it doesn't. We are guaranteed to get snow every year...

    And I tagged you in some exotic car posts in Car Porn.

    Living in a rural area makes 4x4 almost a necessity as snow plows and salt trucks can take awhile.

    I live in the burbs; Dad drives a 2018 GMC Yukon SLT and mom drives a 2013 Nissan Murano SV...

    GMC is a 4x4 and Nissan is AWD, and I'm allowed to borrow either one in the event of an emergency!

    @shakerhood

    I'm pissed...

    According to the time stamp on a TW post, I last used my newest Seagate 2TB external hard drive a week ago. I cannot find that hard drive right now, and it had most of the summer's photos on it! This is not including the other brand new Seagate 2TB hard drive that disappeared during a weekend in York in mid-August, which had all of the 2019 Carlisle Truck Nationals on it and which I have no hope of getting bakc...

    I believe the presently missing Seagate 2TB is located in my room somewhere.
