For work I have a $550 car allowance to do whatever with. So I'm thinking about what I should get. I'm thinking about getting an older crew or king cab truck, but it needs to be a 6 cylinder and a 4x4 because I need to get decent MPG, because then I'll be able to throw crap in the bed for any reason for personal use when I need it. I'm thinking about getting like a 1999-2002. It's going to be an office away from my office. So it'll have my laptop built into a stand in the passenger seat, a printer in the back along with a small file cabinet.

Maybe like $200 or so a month then getting a really nice sport car or instead a boat. I'm not exactly sure yet.

What would you do with $550 month to do whatever car wise with.

If you get a truck look at the Toyota Tundra's They are well built machines, and can last you well over 200,000 miles if you take good care of them.

i work in the claims department as an appraiser in the Rochester/Buffalo office at Travelers. I recommend any position with them highly. They give you 26 days Paid time off. Which is awesome because I was sick once last year so thats 25 days off. Then they give you 8 holiday days off. The best part is the PTO doesn't a crew they give it to you right when you start. So far I'm mclovin it.

what are the job qualifications for your job?

If you were just out of college with a 4 year degree if you applied to Travelers you'd be put in the claims center doing data entry. That's where they put the new people. I worked for State Farm for a year, and got lucky. You also have to have good negotiating skills and a love of cars.

supposedly it has two keys - one for the first 300hp and another, by the power seat controls, opens up the remaining 83.

I saw a car like that on Cribs, it was Scott Stortch's car. It wasn't a BMW though, and I think it was like 5 million bucks.

speaking of hybrids, i think chevy is coming out w/ a hybrid tahoe. but, lexus is the shit. My mom has a GX (the middle SUV) thats she's had since 04'. Its pretty quick on the throttle, ridic smooth, and the only maintenence it ever needs is changing the oil, and doing w/e service at the intervals. Toyota in general makes beastly cars, i have a 99' 4runner w/ 130k miles and its always beast, not to mention i pretty much treat it like shit.

For a more reasonably priced solution (What's the fun it that, right?) the 2008 Honda Accords are badass...just test drove one 2 days ago!

Yeah, I had to rewind that when he said that cause I thought i heard him wrong. That car is just absolutely amazing! I can't imagine going 250 mph on an expressway or something along those lines. Or even someone driving and having you blow by them going that fast. I wonder how good the handling is going that fast.
