That 4x4 sportsmobile looks awesome.

That is what he got a 2003 Ford 4 X 4..

Are you refering to the Winnabego piece of __________ They missed the mark with that, should have stuck with Westfalia, but then again when the competition owns it, it is hard to do business..

In Europe VW sells a camper van The California and I wish they would import that to the US.. 2.0L Turbo Disel with a 6 speed manual.. Had a few of them pass us on the Autobahn....

A frickin Sprinter is $40k for a cargo version. Ouch. I want one for work, but that not in the budget.

Hell, I priced out a new enclosed trailer yesterday since mine is quickly approaching road hazard stage, that SOB was almost $10k.

I need to win the Powerball.....

F that noise. Wait to you see the new sailbox. Oh yeah, plywood cube. You know it. I want to make something fancy, but after sitting in this piss hole for X number of hours per week, the thought of doing anymore makes me a bit nauseous. Especially non-billable time.
