I know. My only qualm, and trust me it IS minor, is the price of diesel. My thought process is though then that it's 4wd so its guaranteed winter driver because my DD BLOWS in the snow. Also, its a truck, and I love trucks. And insurance is going to be less than on a sports car.
Plus, my dad is a diesel mechanic haha.

I'd still like something semi-practical. If I'm going down the shore for the week, I'd like to be able to bring my nice car. Plus, its not going to be in a garage, and I'd never be able to justify owning a bangin muscle car without it being covered.

I'll get in touch with you when I am ready to buy. I agree, the new ones are not for me. I am not a hatchback fan though.

Absolutely beautiful car. I'd love to own that. How long did it take to resto it?
This should be interesting...
It's a fun car to drive, kind of a mix between go-kart and truck.
