    Default Gots me a pick-em up truck...

    Took possession, yesterday of a 1997 Mazda B2300. Bought brand new by my in-laws and they don't use it anymore so they were going to trade it in. Found they would get next to nothing, so mom-in-law said I could come and take it. Been wanting a small truck for usability and here it is. Everything works, but the A/C seems spotty right now. Nothing special, but it will definitely be useful.

    And no, it won't get modified. Tinted windows will probably be it. Later, QD.

    Haha. The house was more or less an inheritance. My grandmother passed away and my grandfather was in such ill shape that he couldn't take care of himself let alone a house. He has since passed as well.

    There's no reason you can't do both. Well, when you're financially able. That's how I am. Got the mini van for the family, the sedan for when i want to go to work in comfort, the truck to use and the Civic to play around with, lolol. Later, QD.

    Yep, this is what the truck is for, man. Just hauling. Nice to have, for sure. Just checked and the miles are at 89,000. Not bad. Later, QD.

    I drive a 94 Sonoma when my Prelude is down (like now). 4.3L Vortec V6, automatic. It has AC, but I never turn it on because it draws so much power from the engine and the gas mileage is already crap.

    Looks good bro. Small pick-ups are very sought after right now. I'm looking for something pre 96 as well.

    Nothing wrong with a good "trip to Home Depot" truck...



    'Course, nothing wrong with a slammed truck of useless awesomeness either.
