    If you need exclusive rights to a trailer, I'd bet that you could afford it.

    Get one of these:

    I paid $200 for mine. It didn't exactly break the bank.

    I'd hardly call somebody an "A-Hole" for using their own trailer. He owns it- promised to you or not. His lathe needed to be picked up. Scrap metal can sit in a pile. Trust me- my yard looks like the one in Sanford and Sons.

    Seriously, I'd work on pjost's assignment. When I was 15, I worked to get a truck. I was up until 3AM, fixing computers, and went to school at 7:30. My grandfather was dying right in front of my eyes. He didn't know who we were. My mother and I worked all night to take care of him. I wanted the truck, so I could transfer to another school (No bus service to us from them). I was being bullied- by my teachers. The computer teacher was the only one that I really got along with. I remember waking up at 2:30 (fell asleep at my desk), and going back to work. My health went downhill then. I'm better now, but doing all-nighters for a year took a lot out of me. I was finally able to send a truck my father abandoned to the mechanics I trusted. I was stiffed, and had to buy another truck (I later fixed the firsts truck myself- those mechanics were awful!)

    Yet, every day, I was way happier than you are. I had a loving family, decent enough health, and knew that God was looking out for me. Those hard two years made me who I am today. I wouldn't trade those "miserable" years for anything.

    I found a way to be happy. That's what got me through it. When I bought my F150, I was on cloud nine. It wasn't much of a truck, but I had slaved away for the longest time, and I had finally succeeded!



    You need to be happy. Find a way.
