Thats good..m

Hell if i damaged my truck id be pissed....but i would save up to get it fixed...as long as it was still driveable...
But i also have full coverage insurance....
Only way i would get rid of it is if i totaled it....hell and i might even buy it back from the insurance company..lol.

Alright I guess here they are.

1. I got a second job so i have two jobs now and I'm usually always working and putting 50 to 60 hours a week. When I'm not working I'm usually always tired now.
2. My parents got a divorce and me being 17 and still living at home that hit me really hard. So I pretty much put my technology down for the longest time so people would stop asking about it. And since they got the divorce I've pretty much been living at a friends house cause I don't want to see my mom or dad.

3. I bought a car to bring my happyniss back that I have always wanted ever since I was a kid. I've started to like this car almost more then my ranger. I never thought this would happen but it has and that's why I haven't been on here that much cause I haven't driving my ranger farther then 10 miles in the past month.

4. My mom told me 2 months ago that we are going to be moving to a small town home in STMA because he can't afford to keep the house we live in now. This really hurts me because this town home is like 1/4 size of the house I live in now and the only land ill have is about a 10"x10" patch of grass they call a yard.

5. I have to sell my four wheeler because their wont be any room for it in the small garage and the worst of all I have to sell my car that I've owned for a little bit or my ranger. So I'm In a shit hole deciding which one I'm going to have to sell

Here is my car that I bought. It's a 2006 Chrysler 300 touring with now only 90,349 thousand miles. It only has the 3.5 liter v6. I wanted the 5.7 liter hemi v8 but for insurance reasons an gas I stuck with the 3.5 liter v6

Thats a nice car man....

It seems your'e at the point where soon u will be moving out and living on your own...but it seems you have collected alot of stuff, and when living out on your own you may not be able to afford or keep that stuff..or have somewhere to put it..

I didn't get all my stuff till after i was out of my parents and done with college.

If you had your own place, you can always buy one of them $300 sheds at Fleet Farm or Menards, thats what i have and i store my toys in that..cuz it all wont fit in the garage.
3 motorcycles, 2 atvs, 1 riding lawnmower, 1 push mower, 1 weedeater, tons of tools, a welder, tons of ranger truck parts, etc..

The car probably gets better gas mileage...but how well will that handle in the snow???
In the end, the ranger will probably cost less to maintain and insure, so u may want to keep that over the car.....

Life is tuff...it can throw u curve balls...sometimes u strike out..

My mom has been married 5 times..im her only son from her 2nd marriage, so im on my 3rd stepdad....

Thanks for the complment. The car does get a lot better gas milage then my ranger. I'm filling up every 8 to 10 days rather than 4 days like I had to do with my ranger. Surprisingly my insurance only went up 15 dollars with full coverage. The guy said the car handles decent in winter cause its a pretty big heavy car. I'm probably going to pay the extra money to keep my ranger till after winter just incase the car is a bitch to drive in the winter. I should mention to that I have a little over a grand saved up to buy some really nice snow tires for my car so that should help a lot for the handling. And thanks for everything I'm glad you are all here for me.

Nice car, my brother has the same car and yes you will need snow tires. He gets no traction whatsoever in the winter. He pays $115 for insurance and I pay $70 so mines at least a lot cheaper. Sorry to hear your story man. My mom left when I was 11 and didn't hear from her for 5 years. I'm only 18 now and she lives 9 hours away so I don't see her much.

there was a reason ford discontinued the Flareside ranger in 2006. More people wanted the Styleside and there are more aftermarket parts that fit the styleside

Is it worth getting a step side?
