    I agree with West here. If your driving the gas saver, then you wont be putting wear and tear on the black one.

    If you plan on living on campus I wouldn't spend too much on a truck. I'd find me a reliable cheap truck if you're not willing to drive your own.

    if you are living on campus you would have a short daily commute and gas would not be so bad

    or you could just get a second car, i gave $800 for my two door escort and i'm 6'5" 300lb, but it gets 35 mpg and will pay for itself in a year in gas alone, plus by the time we switched around my insurance, putting my mom as the "driver" on my truck and my car for liability, the two vehicles cost $1 more per month than the truck alone under me

    the only thing is. this isnt strictly for college. ive got 2 quick years left and im out in the world on my own and its still gonna need to be a solid vehicle then too, and for a few years after that as well. ill either find somethin else or take the lift off mine or somethin but its gonna be what i think would be best combined with what i pick up on the forum over the next few months. im not gonna jump in without thinkin it through and all. im tryin to be smart with all my decisions as opposed to my first 19.5 years on this earth haha

    ok, so when you finish school, and get a "real" career, get your feet underneath you, then get a nice vehicle, thats my plan, after i get my degree and get to makin good money then i'm gonna treat myself to a "new" vehicle, wont be brand new, but less than 4 yrs old and under 50k miles
