    Just noticed something. Was my birthday today (ok I did notice that) and of course people always write birthday messages on your timeline. You go through reading them, liking them and eventually write a status thanking people for them or whatever.
    Now something I didn't notice. Got an old mate, this mate is a guy and has a girlfriend. The message he left on my timeline: "Happy birthday honey", errm, ok.
    Not sure whether to reply with this or not:

    No, but even if we got computers that ran windows I couldn't run it. They're locked down so we can't download anything.

    What?
    Anyway, my dad said he'd be willing to buy something that's street legal and I wouldn't just completely lose interest in when I get my license. He said "an old truck that I can fix up" I've showed him m1008s and he likes them. Maybe I could convince him to buy one of those.
    There are 2 of them being auctioned off up in Indianapolis. Not too far from here.
    The only problem would be hauling it back. The biggest truck we have is a half ton, and the only trailers we own are for boats and jet skis.
    I've never liked the idea of towing something that's heavier than the tow vehicle.
    Ehh idk

    You can pay a company to haul the truck to your house. You could also rent a trailer but if your tow vehicle is not up to the task then that won't work.
    Are these 2 trucks being auctioned buy the US army or from a previous civilian owner?

    The military hires private auction companies to auction off some of their stuff. But to answer your question: it's coming straight from the army.
    And paying someone to ship it is expensive and kinda takes some of the fun out of it.
    They're actually m1031s, but I think that's what they called the trucks with utility box things on them.

    Doesn't run. Not many of these trucks do when they're sold.
    Even if it did run I don't have my license. If I did then I'm sure my dad would be fine with convoying home.
    We'd to take someone to drive it, and I guess that would be my mom. But I wouldn't be comfortable with her driving that thing. She can drive the f-150 pretty well, but it's worlds more refined and smooth than these are.
    And I'm sure the tires are dry rotted. And it'd be extremely likely to overheat or break something. Then you have no way to get it back, because you came without a trailer or anything.
    I bet it could be done, but it'd be pretty roadkill. :p

    Uh. Why do you want a big old pickup as your first car? I mean, it would be pretty cool but why not get something dirt cheap so whatever happened to it wouldn't really matter? Besides, aren't you like 14 or something?

    If we bought it, it wouldn't be my first car. It'd just be a truck that we have. Think of it kinda like as a project truck.
    I still plan on buying a crown Vic.
    Hell we'll have 7 cars if we buy that truck and I buy a crown Vic here in a year or so. That's a lot cars. We have 5 already.
    Yes I'm 14, I don't see a problem lel
    I wouldn't be paying for it. My dad would buy it for us to fix up.

    In my school, as long as you do your homework, you'll be fine. Did I say that the Hall County school system is a piece of utter garbage? Last year was even worse. I got kinda bored of school halfway through, and my grades went way down, from A's to a C and a few B's.

    I need to stop buying stuff. I ordered a rubber HDD casing for my D430, (The drive is held in place by pieces of paper right now) and M4400 motherboard/base to upgrade my E6500, a battery for my D430, a new peltier since the last one was broken, and a refurbished 64GB SSD. (A lot of the reviews said DOA but it was $30 so I'll take my chances.)
