I have joined the FJ Cruiser crew.

Congrats on purchasing one of the lowest-rated vehicles of all time by Consumer Reports. Enjoy your giant Ken Doll toy.

I don't let dirt touch my Grand Cherokee.

You would not know, your mall crawler has never left the pavement and has no scratches. Poor little heep, built for the wild, but you don't let it be happy.

Now don't be busting on the Soccer Mom Panzer.

Hahaha, consumer reports

I am thinking about trading in for a Nissan Xterra.

You also getting a sex change surgery?

Let me guess: You need more cargo space.
At least you are not thinking of getting a jeep.

Ghey.  Those things are tin cans.  Murano is put together better.
Either one, you'll still have to put your legs in the back.

HEY NOW

Maybe one day you'll be man and buy a real truck.

Precisely what I was thinking.

At least he'll still have the option in 2015.

A Jeep was also partly under consideration. 

Though the last time I tried sitting in one, it was rather cramped.

But in truth, the hard part is that the last of the FJs are hard to find up here (and I probably hesitated too long).  And the only real inspiration of even getting a new vehicle is to get a new FJ before they're gone.  Failing that, I might as well keep the one I have until it croaks, as Xterras/Jeeps will likely still be around.

So I will likely just miser my dinero.  And buy some good snow tires (hopefully some Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2s if I can find 'em)

Get your big ass in a Tundra and be done with it.

Tundras are too big-ass (especially now that I have to fit in a covered parking garage...the FJ squeezes in by just a couple inches). 

And, they're made in Texas.
