If you have interest in a new Jeep give it a week or 2. Chrysler is set to announce employee pricing on new cars along with Ford to compete with GM's program currently running.

Cool

I don't think you'll be able to addess both needs with one car. Ladies don't find fishing vehicles very attractive.

Summer dating car - Porsche Boxter.

Winter dating car - BMW 7 series or X5.

Fishin wagon - 4x4 pickup truck with a 6 foot bed (long enough for you to sleep in). You'll also need a bed liner and I think a nice no-frills cap with built in utility rack would be nice too. Jap models sip gas better than American gas guzzlers. But, there are a lot of good incentives being offered by Ford, GM, and Dodge (employee discounts and 0% financing).

As JohnR said, Ford trucks (F-150) have better aesthetics, but Chebby has better mileage (Silverado 1500). I could be wrong but Chebby has a better ride than Ford. Couldn't tell you about jap makes, but there are plenty of guys on this board who can help you out.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Really? Okay, I gotta be fianacally stable like u, Ben, so I can own two cars. Besides, dad wouldn't let me have a truck, but in the future, I might move out and live on my own.

I saw a silverado and it looks good.

C'mon anyone can buy a car off the lot - you need something special.
Let's see.
Beach buggy, babe magnet, gas mileage?
O.K. let's throw out the gas mileage part for now.
Get yourself one of these, slap it on a lifted Chevy 4 X 4 chassis and you got the coolest buggy on the beach. And the babes will flock to it like seagulls to frenchfries, at least those pierced gothic-type babes will, and who's more fun than them

When I was a kid an old hearse was the car to have. It was one of the few affordable rigs that you could stick our surfboards in and still have room for a couple of people. Station wagon were way to pricey.
