I wanna buy a truck.
ok, this may seem like a bad idea, but it's a good idea.
I'm gonna try to have a truck by next summer. The goal is to buy something big enough to tow the civic around with. If I can tow the civic, there is no end to the changes she will see. I can push her hard on the track without a worry of how I'll get home if she blows, plus I won't have to worry about all these punks on the street busting up my car, since it will be stored when I'm not racing it or working on it. Should be sweet. I kinda wanna get a Jeep Cherokee, since it would have room for buddies, tools, and they are descent all around vehicles. But I know I may want a bigger truck for towing. I figure I could supercharge the jeep, and then a sleeper civic, and a sleeper tow rig at the same time.
Anybody ever towed a car with a Jeep?

Re:I wanna buy a truck.
any year ford f-250 deisel will tow the hemroids right out of your ***. f-150's car tow cars just fine, it just depends if your planning on towing through a swamp or not(4 wheel drive). 1/2 ton pickups will tow but they might run a little hot.

Re:I wanna buy a truck.
You could pull a civic with a bicycle 
Anyways a half or 1/4 or 1/2 ton truck would certainly get the job done. Just get a v8 for towing power or a diesel
I have a commanche but i like it, it will haul my quad in the back and thats all that really matters right now.
