How wide is my truck?

Postby Begle1 » Sun Jul 08, 2012 7:10 pm

So I'm trying to buy a house sight-unseen whie I'm on the road. It's a pretty awesome deal, 1000 square feet with a one-car garage on a 5000 square foot lot, hundred feet from a freeway, only $400,000.

Meanwhile I just thricely turned down a better-paying job with a pension in a place with houses that cost one-fifth as much because I was too infatuated with my would-be coworker to do it professionally.

Anyways, the garage on this "super-affordable charming beach cottage on the end of an exceptional cul-de-sac" is 9' 4.5" wide. I don't know off-hand how wide my albatross of a mad-scientist project my 1990 D-250 is. Will I be able to park it in the garage?

If it helps, I only have a driver's side mirror. The passanger mirror got broken and I haven't found a replacement, but I don't legally need it so I figure not having it let's me go faster.

I can measure tomorrow. Even though I have a club cab, I will subtract that and give you a good guesstimate...

Thanks.

Here's a picture of the most aesthetically tasteful woman on the planet. She plays the banjo very well.

She tends to wear boots from what I've noticed. She also plays guitar very well.

What are you laughin' at? I thought you were going to give me a length estimation? You think I'm just sharing my perfect woman with you guys for nothing here? Like I just do that at random not expecting anything in return? :roll:

You have a CC, he has a reg cab.

Begle, I am sorry but that house sounds like a terrible price. Maybe since I can get 2k sq ft and 1.5 acres for $130k...
