Storage is only a way to bleed money. The days of gasoline cheap enough to feed trucks which aren't used for work rigs are gone.

All a truck needing work is to someone just starting to drive is a money toilet. Things are different now than a million years ago when I was growing up.

Knowing when NOT to mess with something pays off.

If you ever want to play with trucks, buy the TOOLS BEFORE you buy the truck. Tools make money and make toys, but toys without tools cost dearly. Tools are so much better to have than toys it's no contest.

Finally, get comfortable with selling and swapping and scrapping instead of "wanting". You'll learn to treat every vehicle as an expendable means to an end instead of a shrine.

That's the winning game.
