I have two trucks, an F-150 and an F-250 plow. The 150 I actually bought at a ford dealer in lansing.

The mustang is a completely silly treat I bought with this year's bonus.

But I screwed up - you-know-who's first reaction was, you can afford that? Yep.

I got a 99 Explorer, a hand-me-down from my parents I got for trade-in price. I'm not complaining. I plan on keeping that till either it dies or unless I can get an offer I can't refuse.

But I screwed up - you-know-who's first reaction was, you can afford that? Yep

Which is why I want to buy nice cars while I'm still single. :)

Although getting out of the apartments(and getting equity) is first priority to me.

Although if I wanted, I COULD right now get one of those $10K houses in Detroit, Flint, or Benton Harbor...........
