after i get my place in florida if i got a little kash left over ima pick up another truck

Florida...not the best place...I spent 3 years there and wound up moving back to PA because there are no jobs there that pay much over minimum...I couldn't wait to get back, and I have a CDL... I can't tell you what to do, but i'd think long and hard before you make that move.

AHAHAAHH your down grading...wait till something breaks on that thing! That car is built for show not go.

to low to the ground...everything fiberglassed in...cracks will cost $$$$$$ in repair. Tires will cost $$$$, how many people work on modified cars? Not many and those that do are $$$ per hour. Not any mechanic can find a boost leak let alone diagnose problems if you have.

Stay away...if you do buy a ANY car just drop it, tint it, and exhaust and maintin it your good.

I would keep the truck man. Think of it this way: money is tight, you have a working *useful* vehicle. Keep it that way. I know its a killer on gas sometimes, but make it worth it! Use the truck for your construction jobs here and there. Im not talking about hauling piles of dirt, but equipment etc. Then the truck is technically an principal good, which means you can possibly write it off on your taxes. :waytogo: I know it's an out there idea, and totally biased coming from a tahoe owner, but give it a try.

And even if you do get another car, PLEASE don't get the ricer. Nothing against foreign cars, but heavily modified cars in general are the least reliable daily drivers. Something as simple as oil starvation to the turbo, or a bad line to the airbags will absolutely f*ck you over. Anyways, thats probably not the best car the raise the family with, you already have the camaro so get something practical.

Just my own advice! Take it with a grain of salt (or the whole shaker) and good luck out there man!

Please don't take this as an attack at you. I'm not perfect, and I'll admit when I'm wrong/being an idiot. I don't want to insult you or put you down man. Just want to give you some advice.

This my friend, is the most important thing you need right now. Without a GED/HSED/High School Diploma you can not get a job that will pay you more than minimum wage. And making 7 something an hour is not what you to do (you said you have a kid?) trying to raise a family. It's impossible.

Suck it up, and do what you gotta do to get that. It will be the best thing for you and your family right now. Get the GED, get that job with your grandpa's company.

Just trying to help you out bro. If you need something, hit me up with a PM.
