I only paid $600 for my 1 ton truck with 70000 miles. But then I paid $700 for a parts truck with a dump bed. But now I have a good beater work truck for about $2600.I'd just like to take a moment to proudly salute my fellow beater owners everywhere.

When I was in the military, I had a new motorcycle, but my cars worked on The $500 Rule. I never paid more than $500 for a car. If repairs cost over $500, I got a new car. Scoff if you want to, but 1) It kept me rolling when money was tight, and 2) It gave me a lifelong ability to fix cars!
