    2011 Ford Focus. Building a better traveling vehicle (Small Budget build).

    Towing may have been part, but may not have been. They seemed to have a lot of trans issues with that generation of Focus. Well, with the current one too, but at least they have extended the warranty. Ex-girlfriends trans went out right after the warranty expired in her 09?. After talking...

    2010 Chevy Colorado w/ V8 and Utility Bed

    That's just a little more than what I paid for my 2010 with the 5 liter and twice as many miles. The colorados are nice little rigs, it's just too bad there is not much of an aftermarket.

    How are you carrying your boats?

    Thule Hull-a-port Pros for my two kayaks. I was mounting them on the factory roof rails of my XJ, but former boss gave me a pair of Yakima gutter mount bars that I'll be using next season. The Factory rack was kind of bouncy with two kayaks mounted up top, the yakima rails should give a little...
