Ok.. maybe not desperate, but I need help making a decision. The funny part is, I don’t know yet know that either decision is achievable. As some of you may know, I just bought a new van back in June, for my wife. She had been driving our Expedition and I was driving our old 1994 Plymouth Voyager (please refrain from jokes). Well, now I have the Expedition and am wanting to trade it in on something else. That something else is where I am having a problem.
The practical side of me says that I should be looking at buying a truck (for some reason a Ford truck is what I am hooked on). But the “not-quite-mid-life-crisis” side of me can’t help but REALLY WANT a new(er) Mustang.
Now I already own a ’65 Mustang, but I’ve got a craving for a more modern pony. Something of the GT caliber. But this is where the more practical side kicks back in and says, “You’ve already got your Mustang, it just needs some love, go and get a truck.”
My wife wants me to get a truck for a few reasons:
- A truck can fit all of our family
- It would be very nice to be able to haul stuff without borrowing.
- Trucks are better suited to take camping (don’t want to take the new van)
- Did I mention they can fit our family
- …. I’m sure there’s more
I’ve heard, understand, and completely agree with a lot of these reasons, but I still can’t seem to shake this want that I have. So now I ask you, my valuable readers, for any and all advice you may have regarding this situation. If you were posed this same question: Truck or Mustang? What would you do?
