Truck #1, Car #2, Van#1, Car #2.5?, Car #3

With money in hand I went to shop for a truck, I decided on a 2001 Mazda B4000 (basically a Ford Ranger re-badged).  It was a good truck, but there were some issues, mainly I'm fairly confident it was in a flood because it had severe rust on the interior of the cab under the dash.  Also the Ford 4.0L is a BIG TIME PIG on fuel.  I went out of town for school, so I took a more fuel efficient car (my wife's) she called me the first week and said the truck had to go, she won't drive it anymore, period.  Admittedly it needed some work and I had no money to repair, so good bye truck, hello Chevrolet Malibu Maxx (2007 I believe).  I loved this car (in case you couldn't tell I have a thing for hatch backs) anyway, this was a great car, great power, options for the $$$, good fuel economy.  Biggest down falls were rear disc brakes in this climate are terrible no matter the vehicle so higher maintenance costs and the trunk was sub par as the main vehicle, and after about one month of having a new child we parted ways.  I still regret it but at the time it was what we thought the right thing.  Anyway, now the Maxx was traded in for a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 25th Anny Version.  But it isn't my vehicle anymore, no I got the fuel efficient Toyota Echo (2003) and my wife got the van...weird how that works in life.  Fast forward to today, I still have the Dodge, the Echo and now the 1960 Volkswagen Beetle.
