    It depends on what I can afford when that time comes & what my wants & needs dictate especially if gas is $6 a gallon by then.

    I was diggin the H4 Concept...but, that won't happen!

    If I part with her in the next 5 years and gas is still reasonable and I'm still stuck here in the snowbelt region, I could see me in a Ford Raptor....possibly a used one.

    If I can't swing that purchase...possibly a decked out FJ Cruiser either new or slightly used. I only like them when they are seriously modded though. Stock ones are a dime a dozen around here. Possibly a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon modded or G.C. but, quite soured on Jeeps since my G.C. had quality issues as well as my brother's '04 G.C.

    If I ever get to move out of this god-for-saken snow belt (retirement or job loss) and possibly move to California or Florida....I could see myself tooling around in only one vehicle and it would more than likely be a musclecar or Corvette. I really like how today's technology allows you to own a daily driver that is in the 400 to 500 hp range and yet is totally civilized for day to day living. It just doesn't handle snowstorms!

    But, I had the VX's rocker panels restored and now have her chassis oiled spring & fall so that day may be prolonged out alot further into the future!

    That's a Forester I would drive. Looks like the VX and Forester had a kid with all the cladding etc. Nice ride...

    I assume this won't be a high end production model right? If it was I'd be talking the wife into it right now - that thing is sa-weet!

    RE: Forester

    Sadly, it's a Forester that Bushwacker did for SEMA. The fender flares and hood scoop are a one-off. I frequent Subaru forums and the Forester crowd has been going ape-!@#$ since this unveiling. They want those goods BAD. Contact with Bushwacker stated that the flares and scoop molds were destroyed after the initial build. Damned shame. WOnder if they kick themselves in the pants for it after all the demand.

    Can never understand why a manufacturer would go through the cost/time to produce something, show it and then "destroy" the molds and never produce it.

    I'd imagine it's more of a contract issue, to prevent unauthorized copies. Can't imagine what liability would be involved in keeping the mold. Going into production woul require a lot more testing to be sure it will work in the real world.

    Chevrolet trailblazer SS is more likely to be my next ride.

    Love that 395 hp LS2 corvette sourced engine and heavy duty tranny
    Dakar was just the begining.
