A teacher is donating a car!
It Runs!
Its a Toyota...
But it Runs!

Now if I could only get 3-4 more, I'd actually have some cool activities for the kids to do.

I'm looking into it, but a teacher, many years ago, got in trouble by building/selling out of the shop and pocketing some of the money/tools and so the administration has a negative view on it...

However, I might get some of my more advanced students to build me a Jeep hauler...
 
Kids do not mean the end of fun. You just have to know how to plan to make it happen.

Then you get to take your kids wheeling and camping and it's worth it.

I do want kids, and so does she, but we want to be 'settled down' in jobs first... This gig I have is great, but I'm not 100% job secure, May could roll around and I suddenly get a Pink slip. And she graduates in May and who knows where she'll get a job offer at...

You aren't stupid for wanting to go this way. We got married when I was 27 and my wife was 24 and we had our first kid a year and a half after we got married. The ONLY regret I have about my kids is that I wish we would have waited just a couple more years. There was a lot I would have liked to have done and seen that I doubt I'll get to until my kids are older and by then I might be too old.

They all run. They may rust out, be boring and occasionally (very occasionally) be kind of expensive to fix but you can't kill them.

Oh yes you can.... don't check the oil or follow the maintenance schedule and they don't like it all.
 
But you look much older! :D

I'm still undecided on Children. Mainly because of my health issue. I'd feel like an ass if I had kids and couldn't help their mother out with a lot of the duties involved in having children. Plus, this disease sucks and its Genetic. :(

Got a couple rifles scopes dialed in thanks to my older brothers spotting scope. Sure saves a lot of walking down range time to see where you hit.

My Toyota doesn't have an interference engine and I've neglected the timing belt. It's got 160k on it and I know it's days are numbered. Other than that I've changed the oil. That's it. It runs as good now as the day I bought it.

This is actually an 01 F150 gasser. The couple F250s and F350s I looked at had waay too many things wrong with them for the price.

Some more reading discovered, that the 5.4L was an option in this year, as well as a tow package that included the 3.55 gears, a 2in frame mounted receiver and a combination 4/7 plug mounted on the rear bumper. The 3.73 gears were an alternative 7700 package that also upgraded the front axle for more towing capability.

With the Jeep in limbo, I'm finding myself researching the truck just as much as the Jeep...

Shouldn't be to bad. I'm towing with a 4.9L 5-speed with 2.73 gearing. I don't even use 5th. Next week I'm getting an 8.8 with 3.55's should help out alot.

Just changed the one in my Brother's civic at 163k. Its interference and luckily we changed it before the water pump locked up and destroyed the head.
 
Deb's 1999 Civic has over 170k on it and the only unscheduled maintenance done on it is a full exhaust including replacing a cracked manifold. I may pick on it for having a hoodful of squirrels on treadmills, but it's been a completely reliable vehicle.
