Oh, there's this blue one, this cream/brown number, and this mysterious beast alllll on my local craigslist. If I don't get that one (I WANT THAT ONE), there will likely be others when it's time to buy since everyone in Minnesota looks at small pickups as if they were toys and just go buy an F150 instead.

I could make it easier for you by coming over there and buying one of those VWutes. It would be the perfect little truck for errands and taking my JS550 to the water and back. I don't know dick about them though. For example, I had no idea they were FWD (WTF VW) until 2 minutes ago. I also can't believe those things aren't rustmobiles, whether they were driven in winter or not.

Na I like that it's FWD and thought it was a great truck, so much I'm actively shopping for another. I just can't leave things alone

I'd be ok with FWD too, it's just odd on a truck. I'm tempted, but every time I think about buying a truck here I realize I would be much better off with a fly-and-drive to Oregon to get something nice.
