@paintballgundown8 Naw, keeping my toys, or at least as long as I can. I have always loved cars, bikes and planes. Don't have a plane any more, sold my littl Cesna 154 about 5 years ago. I still have a 1970 Mustang Mach1 and my 1972 Stingray that I have had since high school. We also have a 2010 vette (wrecked) that me andd my son were going to use to build the Factory Five GTM kit we have. My cancer has returned so for now all projects are on hold, but not for long hopefully.

@pdqasapdamnit nothing like high cost ruining a good time. Im sure an enthusiast will gladly take care of it someday

@paintballgundown8 I bought the bettle three years ago for my daughter but she didn't like it because it's a standard so I ended up keeping it for myself. It's the turbo S model which is fun stock but with the exhaust, filter and boost turned up to 13psi it is a fun car. Before I slowed down I had people want to rae and they got suprised by the little cars performance. It's like an over powered gocart. the 6 speed makes it fun also. Those days R gone now, to old and gas to high.

@pdqasapdamnit Exactly. nothing bothers me more than big trucks that have no purpose other than to make the driver feel cool. Thats kindof drastic to drive a beetle but whatever floats your boat or keeps the boat afloat.

@paintballgundown8 When you show me a civic that will pull an 18ft trailer loaded with a piece of farm equipment I will sell the Excursion, until then I guess I'll just have to keep it. Some of us actually need a larger vehicle for our job. On weekends or when I go for my treatments I drive a 2003 VW Bettle Turbo S, which get 32mpg. Cracks me up when a speed demon flies past and When I reach the next redlight there he sits. He didn't accomplish much by speeding by.
