  For those of you fortunate enough to not have to deal with road salt, PLEASE keep your vehicles on the road. &nbsp;As Scott points out, buying new vehicles is prohibitively expensive and almost no amount of maintenance or repair will come anywhere close to the payments on a new vehicle. &nbsp;DIY repairs where you can - most things are not rocket science and you can learn nearly anything on the web. &nbsp;If you truly are someone who doesn’t comprehend mechanics, you are better off getting it done for you.<br><br>Be safe and keep your money in your pocket.

  That&apos;s actually a fairly rare truck being that&apos;s its 4x4, manual and a dually. Keep her forever!

  That&apos;s probably the last year of a real truck, now they are just giant leather/wood sedans with a 4ft bed

  These talks always feel like visiting with the dad you wished you&apos;d had.

  It&apos;s odd to see such a heavily-used truck with good-looking paint and not dents or rust. That &quot;Little Voice&quot; you mention has saved my life several times. It&apos;s something you can&apos;t explain to people. I just figure the slow part of my brain notices things but can&apos;t talk good like the fast side and it takes awhile for me to hear what it&apos;s trying to say. When I feel internal resistance to going ahead with a next part of my projects I &quot;stay home&quot; until I figure it out. Going with your gut feeling is a great way to live. It gets into the mystical side of Life.

  Great lesson. Don&apos;t get too busy that you don&apos;t hear that &quot;still small voice&quot;

  A guy I hired once showed up in a camo-painted Subaru wagon with a self-made front bumper and modified roof rack system , &nbsp;he had 20&apos; ladder, an 8&apos; ladder strapped to the rack and all his handyman tools inside, he had the rear seat folded down and looked like most anything he could need for a handyman job. &nbsp;Funny thing is I bet the roof of that car is roughly the same height of a slightly lifted modern 4x4, &nbsp;he was getting almost 30 miles to gallon, and never got stuck. &nbsp;He said he had transported all manner of plywood drywall etc. &nbsp;When he needs to move debris and loose stone etc he said he has a beefy little 6x8&apos; tilt trailer with stake sides and tarps. &nbsp;the 2&quot; ball was mounted to a reese hitch. All in his whole rig was less than 6K, and payed for. &nbsp;I was pretty impressed, couldn&apos;t see what a 1/2 ton truck could do better.

  My daily is a 1993 F150 4x4 Flareside XL extended cab, 4.9, standard. It fires up strong no matter the Colorado weather.

  Four door Nissan Navara. I can work it into the ground and she polishes up nice enough that I drove her to my cousin&apos;s wedding last year. I&apos;m a bricklayer/mason in the UK and the last time I heard that voice it saved two young men from potentially fatal injury. Early one morning something told me to check the blades on the petrol saw. One had a hairline fracture and it would&apos;ve shattered into pieces upon coming into contact with concrete and shards of metal would&apos;ve been buried in either Conor or Liam&apos;s groin or abdomen. Besides that, when you&apos;ve got keen young pups learning the trade under your wing, a driving lesson on a quiet patch of road at the end of the day goes a long way.

  Being in tune to those little voices will most definitely save you from much grief!
