Big nono is fuel issues, stay away from those because like most diesels it can be quite expensive.

True. I should be focusing on gas saving vehicles.. Something that everyone wants. Right?

3/4 ton and 1 ton turbo diesel trucks go like hotcakes around here you could probably get one for 18 and flip it

I would honestly spend more time searching for a new job, or furthering your education / specialization skills in the meantime, instead of hoping to spend money to make money. Just my .02 of course, but I personally would be pissed if I spent what little savings I had, hoping to make a profit, without making a dime for a few months.

You can certainly try it, but I don't think it's going to go as planned.

Moneys not really an issue lol. Ive done some saving. A couple hundred towards a car isnt anything. ill still be looking for a job. But i am certainly wont be taking the first job that comes up.Especially if i'll make more on unemployment

Guess that's a difference of opinion. If I had to claim unemployment I would say money is definitely an issue haha. And I would take any job before ever claiming unemployment.

Even if you made less? Lol I'm drawing state max in MD, and ive been criticized by people because I'm being patient till I find a job I want... I say fuck them, I paid for my unemployment.

Right? Ive been working for 7 years straight. This is the first time being laid off. And im only getting a couple of months (company expects to rehire me in september) so, yeah. Im using my time off to visit family and friends that i havent seen in a year of being out of state.

But anyways. So far I got my eye on Celica just a few miles down the road im gonna look at. Has front end damage but looks promising. And $500 asking price. And ofcourse ill haggle.

So you were furloughed? Damn son, that sucks.. But its good to take a break every once and awhile... The mentality that unemployment insurance is welfare is false.. Its temporary ground while waiting to find a job..

Are you a mechanic? You can find cars parked which need simple things fixed to become reliable again.
