My new toy

So back in February, I ordered a new vehicle.

Took 'em 16 weeks to build, but it was worth it!

It's a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 with the V8. It will serve as my daily driver and tow vehicle for pulling the 944 to the track for DE's.

Some gratuitous shots:




Though it is a truck/SUV, it rides very much like a car -- it has an independant rear suspension. With ~ 7,000 lbs towing capacity, I should have no trouble pulling my steel open trailer and car.

Gas mileage ain't so hot at 14/20 mpg. Oh well, at least I'm doing my best to keep global warming going...

I'll be towing this weekend to a local autocross, and then next week, it's off to Mid-Ohio for the first real trip!

Whatcha think?
