    @digitaLbraVo , I'll keep it real though. We just paid off the Kia and I contemplated using that as my daily and leasing Sara a little eco something. She only uses her car fo in town driving now that she left her job and going to school full time. No way she would ever exceed mileage. But even then it's just not worth it. I'll take a beater, she keeps the Kia. Money stays in my bill fold. It just makes the better sense.

    I didn't mention that the Civic is paid off already and the '98 Taco will be paid off around Feb or Mar of next year!!! :yes::yay::woot::wink::proposetoast::D But yeah, mpg wise, I've already noticed a difference paying gas. I'm only filling 11.5gal for approx. 34mpg (if it ever gets that low) vs. 18gal for approx. 21mpg (at best) and the highlighted RED statement is true... I don't have to fill the Civic for almost 2wks driving the same distance/miles compared to the truck. I really DO save that much more on gas and number of times going to the pump. The ONLY reason I've been driving the truck more for the past few months is because I'm always doing/working on something on it, whether at work (former place of employment) or my sisters place! Finally, it really is nice to have a 2nd veh as a back-up if needed, been there done that!!! :eek::thumbsup::cheers:

    @eccracer104 I'm not going to be able to go camping next weekend. All my truck parts are mixed in with all my camping gear right now. It going to be so much easier once I get my truck going.

    True, although I wasn't doing what you're thinking. I was operating a photo booth, I wasn't actually running around with the photo staff doing photos. More so hey come take a photo, come get some props & I made sure the system didn't kill itself lol
