Can’t afford to buy new but would love to have one


I may change my mind when I start seriously looking.

A new vehicle every 3-4 years is one unnecessary
luxury I still afford myself though.

And here I thought every 10-12 years was extravagant!

Well, it sorta sinks in when I realize that even a gas
powered truck today costs almost twice what our first
house cost when I left the Navy.

Yeah I paid $31k for this one in 1971
