With gas prices climbing and the fact I don't have an economy gas car. I decided to start bringing food from home. I spend $10 a day buying coffee and lunch. I can't stop putting gas in the car but maybe I can lose some weight and save some money being more conscious about my lunch.

My wife and I use to spend between $400 to $500 in gas a month. She recently got a job close to home so she rarely needs to get gas anymore.

With gas prices continuing to rise, I'm debating if I should get a gas saving vehicle.

Based on current factors, it cost me $220 a month to drive either...

I was ready to pick up a new ARB bumper last week. Oscarr was able to find a good deal for me. I just didn't have it in me to pull the trigger.

For months, I've been set on getting it. I never saw an ARB front I didn't like on any rig. It has a classic aggressive look to it from a good company. The first time I saw one in person was at Meet & Greet III on Tubig's rig and I knew then I wanted one in the future.

When making upgrade decisions, it's hard to balance...
