You do realize that I sold a 362whp WRX to buy my first VehiCROSS don't you?

My WRX was a beast, and I loved it, but it was time to move on to something tougher. I've done the whole NASIOC thing, and frankly, I've outgrown the crowd.
I realize that sounds silly.
When I knew that I was moving back up to Alaska, I decided to drop the 'rex. It would have never passed IM, and it would have been eaten alive by the roads here.

There really aren't many choices for a non-unibody midsize Japanese SUV anymore. Even fewer if you have a picky spouse.
The Volvos are nice and safe, and I've always been a Bimmer guy, so the XC90 or the X5 should be naturals. However, the cost of purhase (and maintenance, as the nearest BMW dealer is 350 miles a way, and there is no Volvo dealer in the state) is prohibitive. I may as well make something unique and proven for less money.

This is just a shot in the dark, and will most likely never happen.
