Re: How dumb is it to enter a truck?

Mazda MPV. It's the only one on a true truck frame, making mounting that mid-engine a snap. Plus, it's already RWD.

Re: How dumb is it to enter a truck?

the previa was RWD /AWD and mid engined.  and some were supercharged.  and some had manual transmissions.  wink

3500lbs?  i bet you could chop 1000lbs out of one of those, easy.  hmm.

well, the passenger seat is already out, so that should speed up the process.  wink

Yeah, but even with 250k, Previa's rarely go cheap around here.

Re: How dumb is it to enter a truck?

Well we were going to be bringing a caravan to the Arse Freeze, but alas the current economy along with an ill timed case of identity theft has left us without the funds to enter.  However do not fear, we shall return!
