So back to what we were speaking about on the "Post your Pix" thread. I think you should do what ever will get you through college. But I do, however, agree with what Wii_Tarded said. And it is true. I went through this same exact situation exactly how he explained when I bought my car. I sold my red truck to buy something more economic and ended up buying my Corolla and I regretted it every single day afterward. I honestly with I would have kept the truck. It would have saved me so much $$$ and so much drama that I went through in that car. Really in the end its your decision all we can do is just chime in our 2cents. But whatever you choose to do ill understand.

I know im going to regret not having it, but i think what i need is something else. At 17, ive had the chance to own/work on/ drive a ton of vehicles and so im pretty lucky; i think i really need another project because i cant give the proper attention to this one. That being said, mt next vehicle wont be a mechanical project, more just personal touches here and there.

Yea i understand. I seriously thought about selling both my car and my 4runner and getting myself a new tacoma and just fixing it for off road. Not have to worry about fixing old parts and passing smog or repairs. Any way you look at it its definitely gonna be worth it. Whether u go for a new truck/car or fix up an old one. S'all good man. you'll be fine.

If you guys are wondering if i have been trying to sell it yes i was, and actually i still am but i havent gotten the right trade offer yet, and i really cant bring myself to part ways! So it's looking like the 4runner will indeed be here to stay!
