Yeah. I have to pay a few bills among other things. Not to mention I am going vehicle shopping right now. I need to get a daily driver because the truck drinks too much gas with my commute. I am still keeping the truck. Just need something that is better on fuel for my daily commute. 12.7 mpg is not very good for a 45 minute commute one way.

Guess that oil undercoating has its downfalls after all?

I hope the oil change mechanic doesn't throw rocks at you?

I know how that buying gas goes with the ever changing prices.

You could have bought a diesel and paid with your unmentionables and a leg not to mention ripoff oil changes.
