Nope he's got some green under the pillow but, only because he's heard "hold the pickle" a 1,000 times.

 

I know there are other options, but I'm looking at what I can afford: Payments and Insurence.

I wouldn't mind a Mustang GT, but the insurence is sky high. The Eclipse GT on the other hand is considered a sedan.

BTW green I get 16mpg HWY on a good week and the truck runs a 16.8 @ 87mph. The eclipse is in the mid-15's

 

Dam i wonder why you dont get better than that...i could easily see you gettig 20mpg if you had a 5-speed. I get 17-18 on the highway unloaded. I ran a 17.0@82 and that was with 2 people, full tank of gas, and a +/-100lb toolbox(contents in it)...its slow....

Id still keep your truck, but thats my opinion

 

Aren't you some sorta manager or sumpin' at BK? Shouldn't they be payin ya more??

Don't let the truck go, she brought you here..

 

I still have one sitting in the driveway! My dad's none the less, but there's still one! Off to check out a car...

 

Don't do it, Joe!

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Don't do it!
Listen to me very carefully.
Get a bike and keep the truck. You WILL kick yourself later if you don't.

 

Bikes are economical, aren't they? Joe, what are you gonna use to haul the ladies around in?!

 

add a Turbo to the Eclipse and it would be sweet!!! a guy on the local mustang board has a Turbo Eclipse and it runs low 13's to high 12's. And it would sound badass!



Guessing your truck is a 4.6 Auto ?

 

Ah, the memories. I traded my 02 Eclipse GS (4cyl) 5-spd for my Flareside, then my Flareside for the GT. The Eclipse was not a bad car, very fun to drive, and good on gas. I had always told myself I would never buy a 4cyl, but it really wasn't that bad, and as a few others said, throw a turbo on it, and have more fun 4 or 6.

I would however caution you on buying a 2000/2001. There were quite a few bugs that didn't get worked out until after production. I believe there were a few recalls too. I might check on that for ya later... The sun roof rails were a problem at least through 2002.

Do what you gotta do. I can say I miss my truck, but Damn! not when I'm driving the GT!

Good luck Joe!

 

I ended up getting a zx-5! Pics coming tomorrow!

 

A Ford Fucos?

 

OH NO, JOE.

 

I thought we raised him better than that.

 

Foci are pretty cool. Depends on the color and mods. Better than an Eclipse...
