Bah, other people may see a "mid-life crisis", I see a guy enjoying his dream instead of letting it gather dust on a shelf!

You know, jeeps and trucks, I never saw the attraction. Give me a high compression little AWD sports hatch in the winter (Celica Alltrac for example) and I leave all the 4x4s miles behind, hehehe.
