1988 Chebbie Suburban 3/4 ton with tow package. I hate it and hate driving it and hate working on it, but there is no way my 1986 Honda Civic Si could tow my race car on its' trailer! The Burb tows great!
Rust is a major problem. But parts are generally cheap, there is a great aftermarket for parts and upgrades, and it's fairly simple. It doesn't drive bad for a truck.
I'd love to buy a "zip-zip" daily driver, little and nimble with good mileage. But I do most of my own work and I don't want the headache of working on ANOTHER car.
Consider: another car means another tax and license bill, another insurance bill, another stereo to install, another A/C to fix, twice as many electrical gremlins to swear at and chase. Way too much PITA for me right now. [I'm resurrecting a 1973 911 to boot.]
If you don't have salt on the roads, drive the 911 and love it. Take the money you'll save and invest it in the 911 and love it even more. The incremental mileage won't affect your maintenance or resale at this point.
And I'll be jealous of you, plodding along in my suburban!
