You did??? Hopefully you got close to what you were asking for it.
I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my '02 Explorer which has been nothing but problems, but has 3 rows and room, or my '01 Tracker V6, which gets better gas mileage and has been rock solid reliable, but there's not a lot of room in it.

my ranger did damn good in the snow this winter, with the 4x4, BFG A/T's and fiberglass cap on the bed for weight.

I'm looking at Trans-Ams and Camaros, preferably white.

Cool. Glad it stayed in the family. Not sure I'd be able to give one of my MCs to my nephew....maybe, though...LOL.

The only other car I want ... a 2011 Dodge Charger, Toxic Orange with tan/neutral interior trim. I wrote about it here...

But, I can't exactly justify the expense of a new car ... especially given some additional health issues, possibly more surgery, and/or purchasing a house....
