Agreed. Sound advice! Many of the asian cars suck in terms of comfort. (and they all suck in many other ways) My 66 bronco killed my (then young) butt in a 60 mile drive; the first time I took it on the highway. In that time, I determined it was the seat. I procured 2 volvo seats and mou

Ok, get some toada badges at knackers, glue them on a crown Vic or a big Buick sedan, replace the tail lights with Ricer LED-type, and make your own "foreign" car... Some of the newer Mercedes would probably work better at making a fake ricer... -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 _

SWMBO had ruled out Merkun iron, according to Clay. So it'd have to be a toada tundra: Much less "truck" for much more money. Otherwise, the heavy half or 3/4 ton peekup, ta hoe or suburban hoe types are good choices. Although the F250 has AK cred. tyee165 via Mercedes
