yea i know its a good offer, but after being with my truck soo long its kinda hard. i know that the money is for my future but damn. wat will hurt me the most is actually watching it go, or seeing it get real beat up, if the next owner dosent give a sh*t. thats happend to the lightning i had, i sold it and the next owner totaled it.

school doesn't neccesarily make any money, but it surely builds debt. Your call, bud. I'd keep the truck and get a loan, or just work another 6 months before going back to school if I were in your shoes.

ive tried getting loans, being 19 dosent help a bit. the 2door is my dads and he willing to let me borrow it if i sell my truck, since he does have another car. he told me that im gonna have a lot of choices in life that im not gonna like taking but that they have to be done in order to keep growing. another set back is that my dad never even finished middle school, he got lucky and owns a company in mexico. he doesnt think school is so important, if times were still the way they use to be i would say the same thing, but its 2008 and school is everything. he's a good father, but hes always been really weird with the school subject, like its not important.

This is the way I look at it, college will pay for the rest of your future so invest wisely now. Id sell cause after college you will be able to get a bigger, better truck to go with the money that comes after college....but thats just my .02 do what you gotta do man, but school will pay off in the end even though its hell getting through!!

LoL...

Idk who offered you 25K but you might try parting out some of your smaller mods, im not sure what all youv got say sound system/interior wise, that could net you more money, especially if you could still get 25K from whoever...just a thought though...
