I dunno. As I recall, my girlfriend's Porsche was about three years old, and she got over $200K when recently trading it in. It did have low mileage, though. Unless you mean a Boxter or Cayman, but those aren't exactly bad ass.

You don't get much Porsche for less than $100K. They've been affected by all the crazy crap going on, too.

On the other hand, you can't take it with you. And supposedly only live once.

No need to be a lab rat. We all know it'll fail - it's only a matter of how badly.

To me it's mostly to be able to break things in correctly. I like quiet drive trains, and while it's not brain surgery to change ring and pinions, it's not exactly fun either. But still better than taking an innocent vehicle to a dealer to be worked on.

You may have a point there. I don't like my wimmin too spongy, either.

Didn't realize you were quite that frail, Demon. Have you driven a 3500 with air suspension, by any chance?

I don't see how that matters when you have a 32' to 38' trailer behind it anyway. And why on earth would you want to voluntarily drive into any kind of city in the first place??

Which I could easily achieve, and not have to drive a Furd in the process. Care to let us know how that F150 would do pulling 25,000 lbs.?

Somewhat related, I just committed to an Audi Q5. It'll be an 800 mile round trip, but I finally got a decent trade-in offer for the '21 GT AWD with 789 miles on it. I know, I know, it's a 2-door turning into a taxi, but I can't load a pallet in the back of the Challenger.

Really? I can do better than that with my Ram 3500 pulling 25,000 lbs. And I can replenish the factory 74 gallon fuel capacity in a matter of minutes. But there are times when even that gets a bit tricky, as the fuel level start getting low and it's over 100 miles to the next station. Then I...

Around here, deer is most common, and year around, followed by elk which is a bit more seasonal. If there's a herd of over 60 of them, you pretty much have to stop. Now. Free range cattle is a distant third, being very seasonal. Besides, if you don't notice the cattle guards and/or signs, you...

Trailer brakes do indeed fail. Maybe not often, but it may only take once. Bought a used gooseneck 40' flatbed a while back, dragged it home some 150 miles on twisty and hilly roads...going a wee bit fast as usual. Well, got to a stop sign in town, almost home, and the stopping was nothing...

I kept my '14 for almost eight years. Sold it with just over 20K miles on it. Nice and practical car, but incredibly boring. If the weather is nice, and no small stuff needs to be transported, I much prefer driving something fun. And while the new 1500 is a lot more fun, there's a reason it...

Those 1/2-tons do ride softly. With the '14 I had I made it a point to go buy water (4-5 cases) in the daytime. If in the dark, the headlights were way off correct adjustment from "all that weight" and i didn't want to blind people with the improved headlights. The '21 1500 hasn't been...

Because electricity won't work without a negative?

Looks like I'll be going on a 1,100 mile trip soon, towing a Challenger. Total weight should be a bit under 20,000 lbs., but wind resistance won;t be all that bad with a flatbed gooseneck and a car on it. Similar weight for the return trip. I figure it'll take me about 15 hours each way, with...

Did get a few new toys this year, but nothing that's good to tow with. By the way, did you guys know that they sell a receiver hitch for Challengers?
