when tirina wrecked her little scion a little over a year ago. we decided she needed an awd or 4wd vehicle because she is still a rookie driving in snow. started looking and got her a gen 1, because she wanted one. the crew cabs have plenty of room. bed cover, and back seat, can fit all the crap we have to take camping. when i used to go to offroad events i had a backpack (sometimes a black garbage bag) for clothes, a pillow, a blanket and some guns. now we take a heated mattress pad, blanket to go over that to lay on. a blanket to cover us, a heated blanket on top of that, and a 3rd blanket on top of the heated blanket to keep the heat in. 2 pillows, giant air mattress, its queen size that sits 20inches off the ground, a generator, 2 popup canopys, 3 tents, crate full of cooking supplies, 4 folding tables, 2 butane burners, and most important of all, more guns. cause well you know, its not fair to her that only i bring my guns. we can fit it all in one truck, but with the amount of shit we take, we just take 2 trucks to every offroad or camping trip we go to. she has to drive, she no longer wants to be a passenger. plus we tow our quads so its 2 gen 1 raptors travelling 2000 miles in 6 days. go figure those gas numbers......
i got a 2001 honda civic. gets great gas mileage. i use that as my commuter. i just cant leave the pump running and walk away though. theres a leak somewhere about 9/10 full so the gas leaks out. drivers window doesnt go all the way down. stops at 3/4. rear passenger window doesnt go up or down. headliner material seperated, was wrecked once, used to be green, repainted black, has oil stains on the carpet (at least thats what @Oldfart said they were) 4 bald tires, missing 3 hubcaps, has 270k miles, but other than that, its basically new. fill up for $40 and lasts longer than my truck which costs $150 to fill up.
i use my truck to buy all kinds of big shit from home depot. or whatever random tools i buy on craigslist. not going to fit a shop press in the back of the exploder or fjwranglercrusier thingy.
