OK, my story. I have a '92 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4WD and 4 door. I've put over 90K miles on it and it has gone everywhere I've asked, including Dry Falls. I installed skid plates on the bottom and Yakima racks on top. My 12' aluminum boat goes on top. The back seat folds completely flat so a 6' 2" person can sleep in it, along with lots of gear. Then when it's in town it can transport 4 - 5 people in reasonable comfort. It parallel parks very nicely. And, it's hauled a fair amount of garbage and furniture. All of the new SUV's seem to be getting too luxury oriented to suit me. (I have power windows which I think are unnecessary.) It would be nice if the manufacturers offered a fishing vehicle: Wrap around bumpers. Paint that holds up to driving through brush or maybe just anodized. Long and flat in back for comfortable sleeping. Spare tire someplace other than under the vehicle.
I had a Renault R-10 at one time that went to Dry Falls and the hills above the Tolt River, etc. but it was not for sleeping in and it did get stuck in a muddy field near Rockport once. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Milburn Nope" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 8:48 AM Subject: Fishing vehicles? > Hard to beat a full-sized,AMERICAN-MADE, pickup with a canopy.
