What did you guys do?

[Pawnshop]

Well im going to mechanics school, work at NAPA, and have only 1 German Mauser k98 which I'm not willing to part with. I have an 05 chevy malibu maxx (which I hate) so I'm kinda limited.

I bet that Malibu is worth a CUCV AND a Deuce!

 

[frodobaggins]

I couldn't really afford one either

Yeah, me neither, but I beg borrow and steal to keep buying !

 

[m16ty]

I sold off some of my firearms...

I love my MVs but don't think I'd go that far .

I had collected a pretty good pile of stuff (scrap iron) when I got "the fever". I decided to clean the place up and make some cash to buy my first truck. It was a rough truck but I fixed it up good enough for a logger (they don't care what the body looks like as long as it runs good) and sold it and made enough to get me in a good truck. It's been all down hill from there .

Well your right about the tank, I used to drive a t-34 for the germans when i did WWII reenacting. Thats why I came to school, so I can maintain our motor pool and if i didnt owe money on the malibu it would gone for the first 1000 dollars haha

The other advantage a deuce has over a 5 ton is (atleast here in MN)

1. No CDL required due to lower GVWR
2. No commercial insurance/licensing due to lower GVWR (don't know you can get a 5 ton as a collector or not.... I own a DEUCE!!!! )
3. No DOT inspections due to lower GVWR

That right there basicly settles the argument for me

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I sold a bunch of tools and equipment I didn't need to purchase my first truck.

Buy one as soon as you can, they won't be on GL much longer I fear...

[bubba_got_you]

i worked my a$$ off
and stupid me i had to get a m37 and spent the next year and 8k repairing it

 

[swbradley1]

I used to sell my body to 70 and 80 year old women. Since I'm so big I had more than enough to go around and I made the money it took to buy my first Deuce.


Don't give up, there is always a way. I don't recommend my path unless you have a hankering for putting teeth in a jar of Efferdent.

I wouldnt count on that happening haha, I would rather die than give up my 911 I'm being buried in it when I die

Bad answer!!

 

[Pawnshop]

Bad answer!!

Nope, I took advantage of the sheeple's galloping paranoia...

 

[Trailboss]

Same here - sold some duplicate or less interesting firearms to finance my first Duece (I still have plenty). Until that point, I printed out the operators TM and read it several times.

Anyone interested in buying a WWII german mauser with 200 rounds of ammo and stripper clips? make me a good offer

you could imagine where the money will go

[OPCOM]

I was interested in 6x6 trucks for many years. One day, I wrecked a 1-ton van by slamming it into an abandoned K-car in the left lane of the interstate around a blind curve at 65MPH. That was a very interesting experience.

Negotiation of the value of the van with the insurance co. lasted about 8 months. During that time I bought a car.

I later used the compensation from the van's collision insurance to buy a deuce.

note: this method involves considerable risk and is not for everyone.

 

[PorscheTech911]

Well I'm 20 years old, taken one tree, one car (not my fault) and am still here. I'll look into that van haha

To pass the time you could always watch a few "adult" movies........
