Their neat lil trucks, right hand drive with 4spd. Ours is lifted 3 inches with 4 wheeler tires.
Only thing tho, if it ever decides to throw a rod, it will end up on your lap haha

It's not just the cost of gas though. Been thinking about getting a VW Jetta or Passat to save miles on the truck.
Not a Ford?!!!!!!



I guess the Focus would be too small for you, but what is the mileage on the Taurus? Or how about a Fusion?
