Automotive problems, and questions. - Mr.Nascar-

Iam a proud current owner of a 1988 toyota pick-up truck. Sry no submodel, it's name according to toyota is pick-up. But I was driveing in a field, beside my house, testing out the new shocks I just put on it. Shocks are great, but radiator ain't doing so swell. Theres a bunch of sticks back in that field just sitting there, and I ran over one, not thinking much of it, cause I have a set of skid plates under my truck, so I ran over it, little did I know it stuck into my radiator. So i kept going and then I heard a loud thump. I got out and looked under the truck, nothing. So I kept going. Got back to the house and inspected the new shocks. Before I even got to the shocks I noticed the stick hanging from my front bumper( Stick is about an inch thick). So I tugged on it and pulled it out, I inspected where it was and noticed a rather large dent in the radiator. I inspected it some more and noticed the area around the dent was damp. So I walked inside and got a flashlight, took 10 mins. Came out and there was radiator fluid leaking from the dent. It punctured it!!!! So I'm freaking out and decided well get some stop-a-leak and put it in there if that don't work autozone has a sale going on for radiators. So thats what happened. But I was thinking about saveing my money and getting a harley, a car for dates and other nice stuff, or just save my money and trade in my truck plus some money to get something bigger, automatic, has to 4X4 like the toyota I got, and more horsepower. But with the way gas prices are I'm happy where I'm at, 30 miles to the gallon! I'm happy for right now. But I'm going to start saveing for one of those 3. Well Let me here your opinions! - Mr.Nascar-
