i would be careful buying cars from auctions in houston. do you have your license yet? i think in some places you have to have an auctioners license. one of my fraternity brothers bought a 98 z-71 for 5,000...after about 3-4,000 in work it looks like brand new. a $30,000 truck for a little under $10,000?? sounds good to me
just be careful..ive heard horror stories from auctions in h-town bu ive also seen friends come out of their buying great condition ta's for about 8,000
so be careful
and definitely get a 5-spd

you get used to houston traffic real quick? where in h-town are you at anyways?
