New ol' man

Hi y'all. Just joined today and am not finished kicking myself for finding this forum sooner.

I've had nothing but used/salvage cars all my life and wouldn't spend more than $5K for any of the new junk that's out there now. I just want to get from point A to B. It's amazing what money you can save by not getting your eyes stuck to the outside of a car/truck.

I've got one child in college and one on the way in 4 years, so help me keep my money in my pockets! Thanks!
