Hey, who wants to buy my silver and gold so I can buy a few of those ? Hell, I should probably get rid of my land in Colorado (500 acres of perm. pasture) in order to get a 2nd one - ya know, for the wife.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pretorian', 'H')onda-Pilot EX, a tiny bit more than 27K with taxes and everything. Very, very happy. Will never buy a regular car ever again. Safety&comfort are kicking ass big time.

Good for you; might as well enjoy what could be your last car. Our next rides could be scooters or bicycles.

I'm with Pretorian here, think of the medical bills when you get hit by an illegal with no insurance, money or reason not to flee the country. As long as your commute to work is short... drive a tank.

Nothing wrong with a new SUV. I just bought myself a 79 jeep cj7. Not for the safety factor though. If ever I have to bug out on a momments notice I'm looking for serious 4x4 action to handle old logging roads. With a pirous or such you have limited your options to street and hwy only. I like more options on how to get somewhere or more options of places to go.

Beleive it or not one of my coworkers claims to have spotted one of the F-650 pick up truck version vehicles here in Monroe County, not sure what to make of that as I was thinking they would all be in Calli driven by movie stars and atheletes.

DANG! I just got back from Wallmart where I picked up my monthly medicle perscription and what to my wondering eyes did appear? It was an F650, dark forrest green with Maryland plates KINGKONG parked in the next row behind me. The thing was so large it overlapped its parking space taking 1.5 long and 1.5 wide!

Wish I had had my wifes digital camera with me, I would have gotten some pics for those curious people on here.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')I don't particularly enjoy sharing the road with teenagers, welfare-suckers, retirees in their 80s-90s , addicts, owners of 100yo vehicles or mentally-disabled people.

Is this the way you talking about your compatriats?
I think, we should share information here or discuss different opinions, and should use an appropriate language.
