ecig paid for NEW truck!!

[kidbeaster]

My wife and I have switched over to ecigs over a year ago. I've spent over $2000 trying new PV's and different juices and DIY juices. After about 8 months we finally found are all day vapes and PVs. My wife and I decided with the savings from quit smoking and the major slow down on ecig supplies we would buy a new truck.

The cost of the new truck was $36,000, and with insurance it is a little cheaper than what we were paying on cigarettes.

So now when people see my ecig and ask me what the hell is it, I tell the its an ecig, this ecig is paying for my new truck.

I couldnt have done it without the help from ECF forums and PBusardo videos.

Amazing what ecigs can pay for when you save the money, isn't it?

 

[El_tecolote]

That's the ticket! WTG!

 

[Vchick]

Sweet, wait..........we're supposed to actually save it? Seriously, good job!

 

[UncleChimney]

Nicely done! It seems that whenever I try and quit my wife finds a way to spend that extra money, and we have less than when I smoked!!

The tobacco companies will weep. They wanted your new truck in per pack costs!

I just bought a new Ram SLT Big Horn with the Hemi that runs on 4 cylinders above 50mph and all 8 cylinders below that speed. That truck listed for about the same price and my wife got a new Ford Flex SE. I never thought about crediting Ecigs for our new found resources, but it's a good story. I'll have to use that for my justification.

I ripped a stack of CD's to a 16gig SD card that can hold 4000 songs and now I can menu select the music I want to hear when driving. My new truck beats the heck out of the old 98 Dodge Ram I drove for 10 years!

My wife and I started vaping about 5 months ago. We're not into buying all the e-cig bling and I mix our juice so we are saving enough that sending our daughter to college will not break the bank.

I went with the Big horn as well. I love the truck but I'm already looking into improving the speaker system.

CONGRATS! I hope you enjoy your new ride! I know I love driving, listening to my loud music, and vaping in my car!

I would love an old truck for a daily driver. An old 60's or even early 70's Chevy restored.

Congrats!

 

[chellemmm]

What kind of ADV did you find?? Congrats on the truck!

 

[Ghelli]

I think some high frequency speakers on either side of the dash would be appropriate. My wife's Flex has tweeters at the base of the windshield pillars that look to be around 2" size. They really bring out the highs. My Ram has left and right dash mounted speakers that could be better on the high end. Mid and low range is good on the door mounted speakers, though ... lots of thump there.

I thought I'd miss the CD player but I don't. The USB flashdrive and sim card media slots completely override the need for a CD player. I just RIP at 192kbps to my hard drive using Windows media player and copy the output to sorted directories on the SD card. The 8.4a radio touch screen displays the directories and I can pick the genre and drill down on the touch screen menu to the album I want and play. It even picks up artist information and displays a graphic of the CD cover on the screen as it plays. Who could ask for more convenience? The CDs stay safely at home where the sun won't affect them and the sound quality is about the same to my old Rock and Roll ears.

The best part about the whole thing is that this is the first new vehicle I've had where I could vape in it and not feel like a jerk for ruining the new car smell by smoking. Those tobacco smelling auto days are gone forever!

congrats! now that's a great trade-off from ditching analogs !

My husband says now that I've quit smoking he can buy himself a classic Chevelle. Say wha?!

SS-396 with the crossed racing flags on the fender logo? YEAH!

Tell him that you want the new one and he can use your ecig money to buy parts to restore the Chevelle a few at the time! If he doesn't vape, he's out of luck...

DISCLAIMER: They attract girls in bikinis once they are properly restored.

I actually have a few of them I change up every few weeks. The 2 main ones happen to be Bishys recipes. Bishys peppermint ice cream and cocoanut creme pie.

It still seems kinda weird vaping with the windows up.
I started accessorizing the exterior first. I added some nerf bars this weekend and ordered some bed rails for next weekends project.
