Waved goodbye to the golf, loved that car! Who can guess what the new vehicle is?

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Went and checked if that E63 Wagon is still available at Kitchener MB and it has been sold after quite a few price drops. Was it you?

Were you getting itchy in the What's Your Limit Thread ? My vote is also truck. Fullsize or Midsize ?
 
I am having a debate with myself at the moment. :'(  :-\

I don't know if you could physically fit 2 dirtbikes in the back of a midsize truck.  Like, maybe?  I'm not a dirtbiker, I've never tried.  Could definitely do it in the back of a fullsizer, though.  Even one with a short bed like mine, you just drop the tailgate.  It's the width that's the issue.

I mean, I have my doubts though.  Bob may prefer a trailer for the bikes, in which case any vehicle will do.  Trailers are a lot lower to the ground, and have a ramp, so much easier to load.  That being said, a trailer is sometimes a pain in the ass.  You need to choose your parking, etc.  With a truck, you can park anywhere, turn around anywhere, etc.

ANYWAY, with regards to truck, IF it is, I hope A) it's a fullsize, and B) it's not something stupid like an Ecoboost Ford or a 4 cylinder GM.  V8 or GTFO.  (No offense if you bought an ecoboost ford, lol.  They're wonderful!  :rofl2:)

Seem to remember that too. Thought it was the VW ID.4

That would be cool to see

If truck, I say GMC with the new 3.0 diesel.

If EV, yeah VW makes sense.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
