My parents tried to pull that with me, and my vehicles when I lived at home. I started packing my stuff. When my mother asked what I was doing. I said I was moving out. Tune changed a little after that!

That doesn't work when they are already telling you to move out.  Ask me how I know.

     Why are they making you get rid of one, only to get another one ?

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Good question!

You can't sell your dually for more money than scrap? It may be perfect for somebody else.

Dude, run the ads again but ask less money for it.   You should still be able to get more for it than the scrap yard.

if i went any lower it would have been cheaper than scrap metal but i didnt take it to a scrap yard i took it to a salvage yard and they keep the vehicles for a year before they finally take them away. but in return im going tomorrow so i can get this puppy that should be way better on fuel than my dually http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/cto/3058430438.html

Wow a running classic like that lost.  Those trucks are getting hard to find here in the Pennsylvania section of the rust belt.

If they have say on your fuel mileage, might as wee go right now and buy a ford festiva.  a 305 or 350 ANYTHING will get you +2 or +3 MPG at best....
