Default Opinions?

So, i recently gained a nice inheritance. I cant decide if i want to keep my truck (01 dodge dakota, 43k miles), fix it, and buy a second bike and turn my current into a heavy project, or if i want to buy an rx8 (and possibly still buy a second bike).

What do you guys think?

Truck? or Car?

Truck is more practical, although car will be nice if you ever have to go out for dinner

You only live once, get the RX-8. Unless you have kids then put the money away for them, unless they are your stepkids, then get the RX-8!

Hmm rx8 does sound nice but I would get a truck cause it's a bit more "manly" and plus if you have to haul your bike (for whatever reason) you can put it in the bed .

So this might not be the answer your looking for but I would invest it. Make your money work for you. You can only ride 1 bike at a time.

+1. Save it for a rainy day. Buy something small that'll keep you happy, take the misses out for a nice date and then tuck the rest away.

I might just be really cheap but with only 43k on the truck i would run it and dump it b4 the 100k mark and then upgrade. That's just me tho, and being me isn't much fun lol

what all is wrong with your current truck? would your second bike be a track bike?

If I was in your position I would buy another salvaged bike to turn into a track day racer and fix up the truck if it needs major work... if not RX-8!
