    my $20 truck

    this is my $20 truck, and this is how i acquired it

    i bought a 96 civic for $400, sold the wheels off it for $250, bought some steelies to sit it on for $40, so that made it a $190 car, traded that for a running honda crx, drove that for a few months, scrapped the cat converter on it for $60, put a straight pipe on it for $30 and put a used $20 starter on it, so that was a $180 car, that i sold for $1050, profiting $870, then i bought back the first civic for $750 running, making it a -$130 car, then i put front brakes and an air filter on it and that was $150, making it a $20 car, i just drove it to vermont today and traded it for this 2000 chevy silverado extended cab with a 4.8 v8/auto trans, sirius satellite radio, a 7 inch in-dash dvd player and some other little shit, i just got home with it about 30 minutes ago actually and it ran like a champ the whole way home

    here it is

    even with the 2 registrations on the previous cars and the gas i used to go get this, i still have less than $300 into it.

    beats walking. Good wheeling dealing, I guess owning a couple hondacars for a short time can pay off

        Great horse trading. As everyone's perspective is different, I was about to type "too bad it's a 4WD". Not a fan without a specific application (plowing snow, etc). Still, you made out GREAT!

          UNREAL! good for you - that dude must have REALLY been sick and tired of buying fuel, and has never opened a blue book.

          WOW.
          There's always something new to learn.

                the fuel burning is what is getting these trucks, or elcetronic tragedies that keep repeating..and the color red isnot friendly. Very good deal.

                I am offering my "little" ricer up for any 6.2 or 5 needing something..probably that gadget for a transmission if I rermember correctly.
                whatever it is, trading is possible.
