responses from you guys are exactly why I made this thread. I know you guys in person together with Jimmy,woong,dubcac and to me I would have never thought you guys would have gotten the car. To me s2k spells 30yrld who still lives at home and milks it from their parents.

Seriously...higher end trucks are not cheap anymore. Sure you can find the F150 base model no frills special for under 20k, but the super duty trucks, tundras, titans, etc...all over 40k.
