Here's my old Avalanche. They gave us $15,000 and now are selling it for $21k. I think that's a bit high, but it really is a nice truck.

That is cheaper than what I would expect to pay out here for a west coast truck.

I am going to daily the XJ once I unload the Volt. Probably next week.

Then in May I will look at things depending on what jobs are doing and what the wife wants to do with her Kia. She really wants something with AWD so might be giving it back and leasing something else, or might take the XJ. If she does I will be looking at trucks again. However more than likely it will end up being a F150.

Good. Private party is around 10k. Dealer bought it for 9k.

Going to drive the jeep until May. Then depending on job and what the wife decides with her kia will determine what I get next.

Probably a used F150

Then ask your lifting sensei to make an exoskeleton for of it using old railroad track.

Bonus. Put it on YouTube. Combine power lifting with truck bros and you'll have a whole new income stream. 2x bonus multiplier: Add guns.

10x bonus multiplier: Boobs

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Add a gun rack, a few bottles of moonshine and 2 girls in bikinis with guns and you got the income stream Jeff talked about.

Been comparing numbers since unloading this.

$40/month less on electric bill
$45/month less on insurance
$80/month more on fuel.

So I'm breaking about even if you don't count the money I spent on repairs.

However sold the car for $9k, bought truck for 6. Put about $3k into it total so far.

So I'm about even overall.

2018 Volt Premier - 67k miles

Listed for $19k, dealer sale for $15k, got that tax rebate on top of it they applied right away - so bought for $11k.
