How about a raffle for a really, really nice one?

I've got car trinkets to pay for!

Let me guess - you're going to convert it over to 4WD, lift it about two feet, put some 37" Mud Kings on it, and go muddin'. Don't forget the nekkid lady mudflaps to tie it all together. Git 'er done, Bubba.

Now I'm really excited about going. Nekkid lady mudflaps.

I'm tired. We've been really shopping around, looking at and comparing a variety of vehicles. Corvette, BMW Z4, 350Z, RX8, so far we've narrowed it down to two. The Honda, of course, and the 350Z, both for different reasons.
A 350Z??!! What are you, one o' them Communists or something?

I had originally wanted either the 350Z or the Mini Cooper-S before buying the S and I drove several Zs. I thought that it handled like a boat in comparison to the S. Which version are you considering?

No, that's the plan for the truck once it's out of warranty. Along with a gun rack and "Stars and Bars" rear window tint.

You're absolutely right, an agile boat but a boat just the same compared to the Honda. We're looking at the Touring convertible with a 6 speed manual. They have about 300 HP so it can get out of its way, but it's not nearly as nimble as the Honda. It does have more room, more gauges, and a little softer ride it's also a lot quieter. I think that's the big issue with Susan, she has never liked long trips in the Honda because of the noise....Now we need to line up some trips. What are you doing next weekend

I can understand that. Martha isn't crazy over long drives in the S either. But she's in for a treat as we're leaving in the S for CT in ten days and a wake-up.

The upcoming weekend or the one following it? We're up for a trip as long as it's not an over-nighter.

Don't be a poseur, everybody does the pickup truck thing. If you want real credibility as a Bubba, go with a Firebird or an El Camino. A mullet and an appearance or two on Jerry Springer will also help acheive true Bubba status.

I have been thinking about converting the PT Cruiser into a moonshine hauler.

Don't forget the obligatory #3 decal. You need it to be in full compliance.
