Brendon I'd love to come help out but fuel money to get there is currently cost prohibitive.

Wait now, what? You have never been huh? Wow! My buddy and I used to have to travel almost 6 hours to get to the nearest cabela's and we did it fairly recently. He is pretty jealous that I have one within a half hour now!

Picked up my new cowboy hat today! I tried getting it last week, but the credit card machine was down, and I didn't have a check book with me. So I had him reshape it, and then picked it up today. Looks good

Hay I am going to Cabelas this afternoon to get a new work jacket.
I will be there about 5ish in the wife's van.
Then it is off to the Globetrotter game.

used TDi's are selling for way too much. the engines are great and get great mileage, but the vessel its installed in doesnt merit the price. if you have a hard time finding one cheap, i would look into a ford taurus. they are very reliable and not bad on gas. the overall cost of ownership would probably be better.

Aaron I figure I really can't lose if I can ****** one up under 4,000$ before fuel goes up any higher. Even if it doesn't work out for me I guarantee I could sell it and turn a profit once fuel does go nuts. New is around 24,000$ set up the way I want it so it makes sense to me to get one used as long as it's for the right price.
