Tow/daily driver: 4X4 Excursion PSD
Her's: BMW 7 series
'Cause we better at buying cars than selling 'em:
Old Tow/daily driver: 4X4 Suburban (and it becomes her's in the bad weather)
Old Her's: MBz 300e
So that's two of us, four cars, all licensed and insured and running.... HELP!!! How do we stop this madness?!!!
BTW, because her BMW broke a fan belt and left her stranded, it is no longer dependable. Therefore, we're soon to have a "NEW" hers. Damn frigin expensive fan belt!
Waterfowl, you did not ask for comments, but here goes: The domestic vechiles we've owned required significant mods to make them acceptable/safe; things the manufacturer should have done in the design, but elected not to. All of our German cars, and most of the Japanise cars/trucks, were great from the start. I personally think the big three owes us customers a better product. They have the ability to do it; wish they would.

My turn....
Driver and tow: 98 2 door Tahoe "ss" I didn't do it but it looks factory, tags came off 98 s-10 ss.(for sale w/photo auto trader)
Drive when I can: 93 vortech supercharged vette, also for sale
on auto trader, have over 20k in receipts, a 500hp air conditioned driver. Need a toy with a back seat for the step-brat.
Wife 2002 trailblazer ltz, It'll even tow the fountain if I get desparate.
I have been debating a new truck for a year and can't deal with the 8mpg vehicles. I got 19 with this truck and 12.5 towing to cumberland this year. I like the new dodge, we'll see. john
