OHHHHH

I would drive the **** out of an Eclipse BTW. I always have liked them, im dying for a car.

My Dad just gave me three thousand, to pay off the trucks. I still owe'd him about 3000k and he said dont worry about it anymore.

Come on man, take the $2,800 and point your eyes towards school and away from the truck.

It looks like your 'accident' only caused cosmetic damage, that's to say, spending $2,800 from the insurance company on getting your truck to look nice again won't help any of the mechanical/electrical/whatever problems are causing your low MPG.

I promise you, in 3 years when you're done with school and have a job that pays halfway decent, you aren't going to want your old, beat up, low MPG getting, high mileage truck anymore. If you even still have it, you're gonna end up wanting to sell it for one of those new 2014-15 model F150s.

Take a look at your post again and think about what the smart decision really would be. You've talked about your Dad on here a couple times, he doesn't sound like he's stupid so maybe you should start listening to what he has to say. Not because you have to any more, but because he might actually have a good idea now and again.

If your dad wants to keep the truck the way it is, let HIM drive a truck without legal lighting. One headlight and no right side parking light or turn signal is a cop magnet.

i was going through a green, he was headed the opposite direction and tried to make a u-turn in front of me. he claimed he had a yellow and didnt see me but the guy behind him said he had a red turn arrow. but he admitted fault and was cited by the officer who responded
