[shoppersocal]

so i will be driving soon and i really want a car. my dad might get me one and my options are an old beat up black ford pickup thats a five speed ( which i reallly dont like) or a ugly buick of some kind which is an automatic. the black truck, though old is kinda cool and the buick seems like a grandma car. should i get the five speed truck?? btw im a girl lol

Trucks are so much more practical. You'll probably get better gas mileage on the 5spd, and lots less maintenance.

Beat up trucks are hot, and so are chicks when they rock 'em right. Besides do you really wanna be the "Buick" girl. Nah.

I would push for the truck, you'll have a LOT more fun in it, beat the hell out of it, learn a thing or two about cars, and it wont cost you nothing to keep it on the road.

Oh yeah, and when you need to move your stuff, a mattress, a friend to new place, or just to make a dollar, you'll be happy to have a truck.

Plus its easy to re-sell; any 'ol laborer will want to buy a truck from you when you're ready to upgrade to something nice (not a buick).
