When I get laid off it's really easy to get out of schedule and stay up all night and sleep all day. I try like hell not to let it happen. If I don't get up early I feel like I wasted the day the depression starts to set in. Fucking very vicious cycle.

Trying to buy a new used truck before I retire. Ben looking all summer. Chevy or Gmc 2500 hd extended cab 8' box. Hard to find. I found one @ a dealer close to home, now to get them to my deal. FUCKING TRUCKS ARE WAY OVERPRICED. AND I HATE CAR SALESMEN.
Fucker says this is bottom line then as I'm walking out and he's following me he drops another grand. Just another 500 and he has a deal.
Why does buying a vehicle have to be so fucking stressful? This truck is going to cost me more than we paid for our first house and the 10 acres of wood we live on now. And about 1 year of my average earning. WHAT THE FUCK.

My father's first brand new truck cost him 3,400. I'm looking at 100 times that for a 6 year old truck. Dad was making $ 3.10 an hour. I make close to 10 times that. What the fuck is wrong with this picture?

There I go again off on a rant. Puff puff pass.
Time to get my ass in the garden.

Shit, Stoney. My first brand spanking new truck cost $3,250, tax, license, and a tank of gas. Can't remember what I paid for the last one, a '04 S10 4X4. Guy I sold it to is still running it, but it only had 67K on it when I sold it.
Bought the bus second hand with 23K on it two years ago. She just rolled 29K last week. I used to average 200 miles or more a day when I was a slave. I'm lucky to do that many miles in a month anymore. Don't miss it a bit!

Had an old friend selling new Chevy`s when I got out of the Army, shortly after that he went to the used car lot, said he can make more selling used cars. Last time I talked to him he was the used car manager at a large GM dealership.

Gotta watch anything in or coming out of Canada anymore. Unscrupulous types are buying up all the "hurricane" vehicles, loading them up on a semi, and dragging 'em to Canada. Once in Canada, they do the bare bones cleanup and ship 'em back. If you bought one while it's in the US, they have to sell it with a salvage title. Once it comes out of Canada, it's got a clear title. Buyer beware. Pull the carpet up. If the floor pans are rusty, she's been underwater.
