Like most of you I have owned my fair share of vehicles. Trucks, SUV's, Sport sedans and Sporty cars. I'm really over Sedans/coupes in general. I like to get into the back country from time to time and the overall poor conditions of our roads these days just makes a Sedan painful to drive.

SUV's are what I enjoy and find practical but in the $30K or less arena (all I'm willing to spend on a DD) not many speak to me. V8 or Turbo 6/8 cyl is what I want cuz it's hard to live with less than 300/350 hp is a vehicle that heavy. I've been tempted by a used Range Rover Sport but really know better with my budget. Only thing that makes sense to me is a Grand Cherokee WK2 with a Hemi....very nice ride but having a hard time getting excited about it.

Currently really considering another truck. My issue here is they have gotten so BIG! When I was a much younger man livin in TX a short bed 4X4 (I don't need to add standard cab because that's all they built back then) truck was the $hit... I'm thinking that may be the ticket to come full circle. I would really like to find an F150 standard cab short bed 4X4 with the 5.0. So far all the local ones are the XL package so pretty bare bones. Who knows...the search continues....

As always, your thoughts, suggestion, feedback are welcome!
