Thinking about getting a diesel
So with the campground opening back up, we are practically living there again. And it's a long commute. Between the gas and mileage on expensive tires, it just doesn't make sense for me to keep driving my 6.2. I know I said I would never go back to diesel, but I also said unless I had some major life changes. So I'm considering it. Going to look at a truck I found this weekend. It's a '84 Mazda b2200

thats funny that this came up because the night before I was going to see if there were any 80s diesel rabbits out there.
then I remembered a coworker in the 90s that had a long commute and he had a little red Ford Fiesta. but I dont know if it was diesel or gas

It ended up selling before I could make it to look at it. I just posted this to be funny, figuring a few of you would freak when you read it. I'm not really hung up on a diesel, although I wouldn't mind one of those. I'm looking at a bunch of different things. Lincoln ls', old VW Bettie's, all the Japanese mini trucks, TDI VW's among others. I'm probably going to hold off until the end of April when I get my bonus and a better time to sale the Jet ski. That way I've got more cash to put towards or fix up whatever I buy. Last year I bought a Scion xB and played with it before selling it to buy the wife a Jeep. I just like tinkering and flipping them when I get bored of them. Whatever I get, the 6.2 stays. It's not going anywhere for a long long time.

its not the end of the world if we went back. I can promise you if I started towing heavy daily long distance I wouldnt think twice about getting one. But it wouldnt be a powerstroke.
It would be a solid work truck. Ram + Cummins

A little late to the game here Ron. I just came across this and I FREAKED OUT!! Lol you got me for sure. Was glad to read that you’re not getting rid of your truck. A small diesel truck would be nice for everyday running around no doubt.

Not a terminator, I wish. The only thing cobra on it is the hood and brakes. It's got a Mach 1 chin spoiler. I bought it off a co worker for a good price. It's a high mileage car in really good shape.
