well, i officially own my SVT...made the last payment last month and got the title the other day! cant believe its been 4 years since i bought it! i plan on keeping this car for a long while and plan on getting a new daily driver in the spring

i need something that we can put the dogs into easily and tow the jetski with so im thinking possibly one of the following

-trailblazer SS (345hp mmmmmm)
-lincoln aviator (navigators are too big)
-GMC 1500 short bed (dont want a 2500/3500 and GMC has the best looking 1/2 ton pickkups i think)

ill probably go with the first one i can find thats a good deal with low miles...i found a sweet deal on a GMC 1500 with low miles but im basically laid off for the winter (seasonal work - landscape construction) and want to enjoy no car payments for a few months :)
 
Not to totally shoot down your plans, but I'm curious, do you need an SUV to trailer a jetski?
I'm thinking a sport wagon would do the trick.

Click to expand...

there are some places we launch that require a little bit more ground clearance...not that the SS has a lot more ground clearance than a wagon but wagons dont do it for me

right now im using an F450 to tow it and its got the V10 so gas sucks and visability sucks out the back since the trailer is so small

i would love to pick up an awd sedan but like i said i want an suv/truck this time around
 
Get a Jeep Wrangler (or Rubicon YEAH!) and then it can also be a beach convertible.
woohoo!
although that may tempt the dogs to jump out. heh

congrats on paying off the SVT!
 
i had a lifted wrangler for 4 years before the contour :) awesome times with it and my brother had a '76 CJ5 up until 2 summers ago...although i will own one again someday i couldnt take one as a daily driver again haha
