in most cases if you adjust your other spending habits (like going out to eat a lot) and stick it out, you'll be better off in the long run.

no to hijack but.....


everyone gets a break eventually. my mom just started as a teamsters (unoin) rep and in a few months will have a company car (99% chance an escallade) gets 100% health coverage. and $300 a month in pention, i.e: $300 a month on year #1 $600 a month on year #2.....
$3000 a month year #10.



reminds me of an old *** quote i like alot. "the night is always darkest just before the dawn"

wow thanks for the opinions guys. i was thinking about picking up a second job..maybe at a bike store. but i just love my free time. deej i live in WA too but since im on a loan with the bank i have to have full coverage and the tacoma or 4x4 pickup witha 4cyl wont be that bad for me. right now my corolla gets about 29 mpg at best. which sucks for a corolla..if i did a tune up, spark plugs all that it would prob get 34 or so and 4 cyl trucks usually get abou tthat. i just know that last winter we got dumped on for snow and my car just got stuck everywhere. had to get my friends jeep to p ull it out hahah i just want a 4 runner or a truck...wanted a wrangler but from what i hear theyre sh*t for cars

I had a wrangler and loved it, they are fun, and easy to work on yourself too. Not very good gas mileage tho...

even with the 4cyl? my friends got one and i looove the versatility of it but everyone i talk to says dont buy a jeep you'll just have problems. even a guy who worked at a dealership that i work with now says dont do it. i wanna be able to take it offroad and take the top off in the summer and get around in the snow. and have a fun car

I had soooo many friends with jeeps in the army, and a few of my brothers have them. We haven't had any probs, and we abuse them a little. If something goes wrong because the driver is doing some dumb stuff I don't consider that a problem with the car, and that is the only type of probs we had. I personally don't think you can go wrong with a jeep. Oh, and I didn't have the 4-cyl, but you are right it probably gets much better mileage.
