Hello, Everything was going fine this morning. I didn't mean for it happen, but after a quick visit to readers' rides, I found myself on craigslist, hunting for Datsuns, Fords, Mitsus, Chevy's. I don't NEED a truck, but I found myself WANTING, staring, considering, completely lusting over trucks 20+ years old. At first I just minimized the screen, but instantly I brought it back up. With the encouragement of others, I finally X'd it and carried on with the day.
DO NOT IMPULSIVELY BUY A TRUCK....AGAIN.

I check craigslist daily for anything mini, just sucks I'm so broke I can't afford to change my mind. At least there is a section of free junk.

Let's repeat this one again...
DO NOT IMPULSIVELY BUY A TRUCK....AGAIN.
one more time just to be sure it sunk in...
DO NOT IMPULSIVELY BUY A TRUCK....AGAIN.
Good.
j/k... what fun would life be like with out impulse...
Seriously though, close Craigslist... it's evil... pure evil...

I would love an old datsun or d50! (see, that's not impulsive, that's very pre-meditated)... unlike the Mazda, which we weren't looking for but found, called on, saw, and bought within about a 4 hour time frame, without consulting the parental units...
