I have to get 2014 a little bit of a spark from all of the bad things that has happened so far, but some good did come out of it.

T-2 “The Lexx” went over 100K on miles, it was going to need some more than usual maintenance like a new timing belt on which it was over do on, transmission fluid/filter change, new spark plugs, radiator flush, shocks, and new brakes. Part of that stuff I could do myself, but newer vehicles have gotten so complicated on some of the other stuff, you have to take it in for train mechanic to do. All of that stuff was priced between $1K, and $1500. Then the radio was starting to go, the seat was needing a minor repair from that normal wear that I see in so many full size pickup, and the bed was needing fixing on where I had a little finder. The bed its self was looking somewhere in the ball park of $3000. The other thing was both my inspection and registration were due.

So I found it was way easier on the pocket book, while helping me out on a small bind on just trading it in and letting someone else like Toyota having the worry about putting the money into it instead of investing on something that kept on loosing value on because of the amount of miles that I have put on it. The truck was a great pickup, and one of the reasons why it got the way that it did, was the fact that it seen a lot of adventure when I used to belong to the local VFD. Even though I started the loan clock over again, I got the deal I wanted with a cool interest rate which dropped how much I will be shelling out per month. So I got myself a small Japanese compact pickup, T-3 “Bluedini” on which was named after the big white buck, Houdini. The interesting thing was that when I saw this pickup before I even drove into the lot, I had the weird feeling that I would be mine. I also going to try not to make the same mistakes that I did with the previous one.

My previous truck was a higher end Grade, or now what they are calling an SR that was supposed to have been a Texas addition, but the rims that were to have supposed to been on them were Jacked by the dealer ship on which I didn’t discover till two months later. Because of that, I said that I would never go back to them again. The new one is an SR5, TSS off road package 2 wheel drive with 4.6L V8 which can reach 19 miles per gallon hwy. The other nice things about it are the nice custom wheels, and the best part is that it had the same type to tires on it that were given to me as a Christmas present on my last one. Oh, it also has a Rhino spray on bed liner, which will help keeping it from getting scratch up and rusting out. The inside is a two tone black and silver trim, with a hands free stereo system. The best part is, that Toyota listened to their customers on making it easier to work on than the previous gen.

The other good news is that the Judgement of what has happened to the deer will eventually help pay for this truck.
