My first thought as well. Short of having someone dirty in the DMV or a dirty cop, how would they even know his name to run the lost title on?

ON PUMPS! Even being a fairly “new” car the pumps had to about double the investment.

I figured I would leave the decision of whether or not it was appropriate to loan you the car “for prom” to the owner... No need to shoot yourself in the foot by offering up obvious information.

LOL! Glad I could help. My girlfriend was impressed as hell the first time she saw me do it. :) She’s not quite strong enough to grab like 150lbs of stuff in one shot like that, but most guys can.

Apparently you can and you just asked the same question I did when I found this:

LOL... Some people really love those exotic SUVs..

“Supercar” SUVs are stupid as hell too.

Gotta say I’d take 2 Escorts first before one Benz.

It’s on a race track. That means it’s official!

My exact thought as well. I’d stack them up like cord wood for $2500/ea if that were true.

All day, every day, nice price.

That was totally an option for me as well. With the options I wanted, and I was VERY specific, I literally couldn’t find one anywhere in the country (Autotrader, Ebay, Cars.com, etc) and then lucked out when what I wanted turned up 200 miles away. That’s what I meant when I said “if rust was the ONLY concern”. I know…

The legal way to do it would probably be to start a trust or LLC with your friend as a 50% partner and make the truck owned and insured by the entity.

I got a ticket in my ‘89 2.5L 5 Speed S-10, on Z28 wheels that I swapped 3.08s into (stock was 4.11). It was the slowest truck on the planet around town.

Agreed. Rubber floor mat is the single thing I could NOT get on my current truck. When the carpet gets dirty enough I’m going to yank it and swap. My previous truck had one and it was great. Cleaning the floor took a bottle of windex, a few paper towels, and 5 minutes.

I even like going to get groceries with my truck. It’s much easier to put the bags in the back with a bungie through the handles than it is to mess with anything else. When I get home I prop the doors open, grab both ends of the bungie, and take ALL of the food in the house in 1 trip. :)

People will probably throw rocks at me for saying this, but nothing that is 4x4 or v6 if your plan is to daily drive it. Adding the weight and fuel of those options defeats the purpose of having a small truck. If you’re going to drive it 10-20 days a year when the weather is really bad, then it doesn’t matter.

As the owner of a small truck AND a 6x10 trailer, I can say that the trailer route is probably the best for most people that actually only need to haul stuff a few times a year. Where people screw up is buying too small of a trailer (4x8s are almost useless).

I would.

As a fellow rust belter, you just have to come to terms with how much rust you’re willing to accept for what price. I sold my ‘98 S10 with rusty cab corners (and that was about it... most do to a PO that drilled holes in the back of the cab for wiring for a cap, which let them fill up with water) in 2012 for $1400...…
