    Which vehicle for 50k

    I had some free time this morning so I went down to look at the new Denalis and Escalades. Holy crap they are expensive. Im shocked how many are around here. I've never been a car guy and prefer my old truck to most anything I see on the road, but it got me thinking.

    What vehicle would you buy if you had $50,000 to spend? Just to clarify, I don't have that kind of scratch, nor would I want the accompanying payment for that expensive of car.

          Hmmmm, I'd take a 5 year old suburban towing a 20 foot ski boat. I could easily keep that under $50K.



          I realize this is not a suburban and the ski boat is lacking a tower but you get the idea.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            here's a 911 996 turbo for 55k, but that is probably too good to be true. maybe it has a rebuilt title.

              Like!

              except not the color, unfortunately. That is an amazing deal for a turbo, assuming the description is accurate.

                  So my old green Dodge decided to crap the bed a few months back. I was pretty disappointed because a) It was paid for and b) I was hoping to get 250k out of it



                  I argued a bit with my wife, suggesting we should fix it but she stubbornly insisted that I had to buy a new truck. Went with a Ford F-150 Platinum addition. Goes for around 50k but I got a smoking deal on it as it was a 2010 and the dealer wanted to move it.

                  So I guess that's what I'd go with.
