NY911Bowhunter Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 My poor Exploder is on its last legs I'm afraid. The 4 wheel drive hubs have been shot for 2 years, the motor pings like no tommorow, i have to run super in it, the clutch is about gone, the lights in the dash that light up the gauges is done, and yesterday, I hit a bump in the road and exhaust breaks off! Sure - I could fix it - but is it worth putting money into a 1994 2 door Explorer with 105,000 miles? Heck NO! So I found a nice little Saurn sedan today when I wentout Xmas shopping, gonna be right where I want it with payments (no 4 wheelr this year!). If the Wife sees it tommorow and approves - it might be mine! Not a truck or SUV - but better than the crappy thing I got now! But heres the kicker! My mom just called me, we were talking and I told her about everything - she says she wants me to have a 4 Wheel Drive, sincewe live atthe base of a big hill and not to do anyhting until we talk Sunday........ ....sounds to me like the Bank Of Mom is looking to hook ole sonny boy up with a truck or something!! Saweeeet~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY911Bowhunter Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Re: Last Leg..... Spoiled - Not So Much. I wish. My Mom is fortunate enough to be in a postion to "help" us out now. A far cry form growing up where we had a cardboard box with wood and a sheet over it for a table and ate boxed macaroni and cheese every night! Those were the days!!!! (I was skinny!) Turns out, she is indeed going to loan me a couple thou - with the stipulation that I do get a 4 X 4! So I will have 3 grand and a 1994 Exploder to trade in - but the payemtns have to be under 200 bucks! I am reallllllllly looking at a few Tahoes in the area, but the wife is not to keen on it. Maybe a Toyota Pick Up? Blazer? This is soooooo fun!!!! Must be 4 X 4, automatic (sooo tired of shifting!), have a tow hitch - preferably reese!
