well, + one 7 that will hopefully sell soon. I originally sold the 2000 Honda and got the sport to consolidate - trying to have one car to suit all my needs. But that just doesnt work for me. I want a little run-around, and a highway cruiser. I will admit that gas prices played a BIG part in the decision. A $50-$55 fill up is plain stupid IMO for running around and back & forth to work. That Honda will indeed pay for itself shortly.

The truck is purely functional, I find too often that you NEED a truck especially after I bought the house a couple years ago. I get tired of running around asking someone for theirs, so there is sits until I need it. I wouldnt trade my pick'em up for ANYTHING! Look closely at the pic and you'll see it looks weighed down...that's 2 yards of mulch doing that! The bike is a simply a toy. When VZ went on strike years ago the mangers had to work. That's the only instance where we get paid for overtime. The bike was paid for in two checks. It was a beautiful thing!

I'm far from rich buddy, TRUST me! I am however one blessed 31 year old. I've made a few investment and business decisions that have paid off. Keeping my condo instead of selling it when I had this place built was a big one. Don't you love how I justify it all? (grin!)
