 | I keep talking myself out of getting a rod/truck.. As some of you may know i am a rod freak and a bit of a red neck.. I am very tempted to sell my VXR8 and buy something as a weekend toy and have a daily shed runabout.
 
 Seeing as cars like these are all in my price range if i sell my car :
 
 
  
  
  
  
 Plus a host of Muscle cars like late 50s, 60s and 70s Mustangs, GTOs, Camaro's etc etc..
 
 
 Am i being a stoopid head ?

 | i love them but, i dont think i could justify selling the vxr8 for one presonally.
 
 the vx is a beast, it has the deep rumble engine noise ect. and it looks alot better.

 | i think you need one when you have a house/garage. I think you will grow bored with a daily hack and you have been lucky with depreciation etc.
 
 Its a plan, but not just yet

 | I mean with it being older.
 
 Buying the VXR8 unseen probably isn't such a gamble, but I would imagine those trucks are not so pleasant.  Does depend if you can live with it and be happy having spend comfy car money for something which will mostly likely need love and tolerance.
