I'm about to buy a F-150 Lariat
prices are dropping like an avalanche on trucks.
I get a really nice truck for cheap now, prices even out on the gas being expensive the way i look at it.

Unless you plan on keeping the truck, its a rather moot point. The value of it will drop regardless.Quote:

truck is just a lot more fun to tear up while at school
from a damn quarter of a tank my stock ass crx takes roughly 25 bucks to fill (I just did it yesterday). Honestly Im at a cross roads Im tryin to get a house soon but I was planning on buying another integra and mod that (figure why the hell not go all out on one car), buy a scooter (looking at a Honda Ruckus or Big Ruckus 105 mpg out of a 1.3 g tank FTMFW!!) and just lightly mod the crx. I only just have an exhaust and an intake I figure i'd just throw Headers get a afc and tweak it a bit maybe detune it for more gas and just make it a clean ride and use the teg for the biz Or just reverse the idea and Build the Crx up since its lighter and DD the teg with minor bolt ons and keep an LS in there. If I have a scooter I'd only need to drive the DD when it rains or gets too cold. I figure that its worth it. Like earlier stated it is a hobby and where there's a will there is a way.
Whats the point of wasting your money on the CRX and teg, put a bigger down payment on your house. Its a much much better investment.Quote:

It'll help me out a lot in the long run. sure the crx goes through roughly a half a tank a week goin to work and my girl'f place but the scooter can makes those trips at less of a cost. it at least doubles the distance on a smaller tank.
I just recently filled up and it cost me $60 at $4.25 a gal. I do get great gas milage for a boosted car that likes to hit 20psi all the time. I'm getting around 375 a tank. Thats with the gas light on for about 30 miles. To scared to drive more then 30 miles with the light on.
Not saying theres anything wrong with the scooter idea, but just seems like a waste to drop any money into the crx or teg, cause more than likely you'll never see that money back.Quote:

Billy!! lol
No effect, I will still burn a tank on a race track
I dont get why (and yes this is slightly off topic) people will drive a big azz truck or gas guzzler to work and home. Why not get the best bang for ur buck and EARN more money each way then spend it.
Honda it to work Honda it home, Ferrari it on the weekends or somethin.

I know before i sold my race car, gas prices had huge factor on racing. It was costing me well over 250,just to go too the track, just gas in truck was 180 then race fuel another 60-70.
