No, you dont know the situation, let me explain...

I'm a 23yr old male, no accidents, no tickets (on my record )... Insurance on this truck would run me about $1500 every six months if I didnt have a primary beater car. My $750 Honda Civic LX drops my insruance to $975 every six months. So in the long run the car will pay for itself and when I turn 25 I'll consider selling it and whatever I get(if anything) will be all profit from insurance savings...

I love to drive my Titan too, its sitting right outside work here, I drive it everywhere except when I go places that there are shopping carts, sans Lowe's when I have big stuff to get...

My G.F. (1/2 owner of the civic) drives the beater to school to keep her new `04 Civic from getting beat up. She use to work at the bank in Wal-Mart and would drive the old civic to work for fear of these shopping carts with their own minds...

Plus the more we drive the beater, the less gas we use and the more miles we save on our new cars which means less wear and tear, tires ect...

Trust me, the new cars get their share of being driven as we are about 500 miles from our hometown , 1000 mile round trip...

The nissan dealer here has a shop truck nissan harbody that is that orange color, I'm really diggin it, maybe I can talk them into selling it to me dirt cheap...
